Well, it is Saturday.  I had my gall bladder surgery on Thursday.  I feel pretty good considering.  I was told to wait at least 48 hours before I took a shower.  I tried. I’m about 4 hours shy of 48 hours.  Lol    I just got out of the shower.  I feel better, at least!  These crazy incision bandages are WEIRD.  They are clear…so all seepage/blood is clearly visible.  And they aren’t well sealed. I know some water from the shower got inside the bandages.  I couldn’t see any way around it.  I tried putting some “Spiderman” band aids over the “holes”, but it didn’t seem to help at all. So for now, I feel clean, and I just put some gauze over the “leakiest” of the 3 incisions.  When Mom gets up, I’ll get her to look at the other 2 and see if she thinks they need the extra gauze as well.

Jade is still in St Louis with Clif and Lora.  Things have gone from bad to worse there.  When they got to the house they were supposed to be moving into…well, long story short, it was a nightmare.  So they REPACKED everything back into the moving truck and found a hotel. Today they are going to try to find another place to live.  I worry about them….but one of my sweet aunts reminded me today to stop worrying about them, take care of myself and let God take care of Clif and Lora.  So that is what I’m going to try to do today. 

And why is it…when you CAN’T do anything that you suddenly get the urge to do everything.  I need to add water to the fish tank…but I can’t do that at the moment.  I desperately need to sweep my floors, and I can’t do that right now either.  I also realize that once I AM able to resume completely normal duties, I’ll have lost all interest in these things and will have to make myself do them! Lol I am so hopeless!  Hehe

My computer is also on the fritz.  I don’t know if I have a virus on here or what, but it is so incredibly slow.  UGH.  It makes me crazy. 

Shailynn is writing a new story. This one is about a puppy.  I have no idea what made her decide to write another story, but she is.  She didn’t win the contest that she entered.  She got her certificate in the mail, for entering, the other day though.  She was excited about that, although she would have preferred the new laptop or tv or MP3 player!  Lol I can’t say that I blame her at all! Hehe

My mama has been a real champ, staying with me, taking care of me and the kids.  I have the greatest parents.  My daddy NEVER calls me, yet he called me yesterday to check in on me.  He is not a “phone person”, so it meant a lot that HE made the effort and called me.  I need to kick my Mom out of here by tomorrow though.  She has been on the go for quite a while now, and I know she’s ready to get home.  For some reason she and Daddy like spending time together…so I know they are missing one another. I love having her here…and she is a tremendous help…but I know that she probably wants to be home.
