Good Morning to all

It is a beautiful day in the neighborhood!

Today is Karlene's birthday so I can't think of anything better to post than Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter.   If I can remember that far back I think I was in more pain that day than I am right now:)  And it was the last time I was in the hospital before this surgery.  But the pain of that day has faded and so will this.  God does have great things in store for me!

Yesterday was a really rough day.  I had always heard that the third day after surgery was hard but for me it was the fourth day.  I hurt, had no energy and just didn't feel well.  But a pain pill and over 9 hours of sleep make the start to a new day much better.  I even helped fix breakfast.

Our routine in the morning takes a while but Rick and I did it in record time today.  I even got to dry my hair!  Amazing how little things mean so much.  Perhaps that is one of the things God wanted me to notice.  Believe me He has done a good job to make me slow down!

Rick will go to work this afternoon.  A friend is coming over to stay with me.  Of course I would like to stay by myself but I think Rick thinks I might try to do something I shouldn't.  (Don't know why he thinks that since I sit back and take it easy so well.)

Hopefully each day will be a little better.  I am getting use to my new normal.  I must be feeling better though cause I am pointing out to Rick all the things that need to be cleaned.  Of course he says they did not get dirty in the last three days!

Have a great day!
