Recovery... Ouch!!!

My surgery was on Friday, so I am on my 5th day of recovery. I am not usually a whiney person and try be tough. I always bragged I had a high pain tolarence where surgery was concerned.
Well let me tell you, not any more. I am the biggest baby I have ever known. I have never hurt so bad in my life.
To make matters worse the anestheolgist over-medicated me. My blood pressure dropped scarily low. It was 43 over 38. They where afraid for a minute I might not wake up.
I am so thankful that so many wonderful friends where praying and that I am alive today to hug my babies. It is so scary how I could have never waked up and how my children came so close to not knowing me and knowing how much I love and wanted them.
I want to say a special thank you to one of my besties, Dana, for staying with the babies on Friday so Jeff and mom could both be at the hospital. There is nothing more special then life long friends. Wish I would of taken a picture of her and the babies before I left, but I was to busy being totally freaked out.

Due to the low blood pressure I stayed in the hospital for two nights. My mom stayed with me and Jeff stayed with the babies, while Oliver spent the weekend with his other grandma, Nana.
Poor Jeff, he has never been alone this long with the babies. I think he has a new found respect for me..lol.. just hope it lasts--just kdding. He worked so hard to do everything right--he's exhausted!!

I missed my babies so much I could not stand it, so their wonderful Daddy brought them to see me. I have never been happier to see anyone in my life. Their smiling faces did wonders for me.



I cannot stand being away from my angels. I don't want to miss one moment of their precious lives. Recovery has been hard. My temp seems to want to go up ever night and I have to work at getting it down to stay out of the hospital and I hurt worse then I ever thought possible. But am thankful this part is almost over and I know in a few weeks it will all be worth it.

Oliver made me this for Mother's Day




and with the help of Nana, brought me these beautiful flowers and coffee mug for Mother's day.



Colt made me this for Mother's Day



Sara brought me a Gi Gi's cup cake.. yummy.. and this sweet bath set



And my wonderful hubby gave me this amazing ring.. as always, he went way over board and blew me away. I love the way he spoils me.




I have been bleesed by my wonderful MOP (mother of preschoolers) moms. Everynight someone is bringing my family food. We have never eaten so well.
Jeff has had to go back to work and with only my mom who has a bad back and can hardly use her arms to help, this has even been that much more a help. I go back to the doctor tomorrow and am praying that they got everything and I will not be forced to have other treatment. But Jeff and I are ready for anything.

I have also been blessed with these pretty flowers from family and friends
