Surgery

I had my surgery yesterday. I am now officially gall bladder less. It went pretty well we dropped the kids off at school and went to the hospital. The doctor was running about an hour late, which drove me nuts because I am always early for everything. I remember taking about three breaths of what they told me was oxygen and the next thing I knew I was waking up. The nurse was talking to another nurse about her relationship with a guy that wasn't going very well and me being completely out of it I told her it was probably because they were both being buttholes. She promptly told me she did not think that was the case. :) That is the first thing I remember saying, who knows what I said before that. About that time they decided to move me back to the recovery room, I guess they had enough of my insights into their lives. They let me out and it was just in time to pick the kids up from school. I felt sore last night but all in all pretty well. This morning I felt like I could go out and shoe some horses. So after laying around I decided to go with the family to get Lexi's gums looked at by the dentist and go get something to eat. After we ate we decided to go to Menards and look around. We walked around for about an hour and half and I was starting to hurt. When we got to the van I looked at my bandages and one was leaking pretty good. Well we decided to go home and let me take it easy. Now I am hurting a little worse. I think I just over did it a touch. Like it or NOT I am going to have to lay around and take it easy for a little while. I did receive a pair of Grumpy slippers in the mail from the Stacy, Shane, Paige, Chase, Julia and baby Hudson. The Howensteins sent over soup and brownies. Thank both of you very much!!!!

We love ya Grumpy! Don't overdo it or you won't be shoeing :( It must have been drama day. I took the kids for flu shots and Paige acted like she was receiving an amputation. I don't think she will bear any grandchildren for me unless it's by the stork, and there is definitely not any medical field profession in her future! Chase and Julia said, "Just be like David in the Bible and be brave, Paige, it's not hard." !! :)

We only saw one butthole exposed in the recovery room.
