Week 5!!

Well as the title of my blog states, I'm in week 5 of post-op. I had a complete hysterectomy on March 5, 2009. All is well with my health and the surgery went great. I came home the very next morning. For about 2 weeks I pretty much laid around and ate way to dang much. I feel like I've put on about 10 pounds. Then on week 3 I returned to work after my Aunt Mary's funeral, and low and behold that day I was back at the Doctors. My left incision had gotten infected. Actual diagnosis was "cellulitis". After 6 days on antibiotics, I returned to the Dr's because I didn't think I was healing right. Ok, if your squeamish, PASS THIS PART. She pulled off the scab covering my incision. READ AGAIN. Now my incision is healed up great. I go back to the Dr.'s on Wednesday for my 6 week post-op follow-up. I can't wait.

I haven't been able to exercise, except walking. Walking is one of the best exercises for the overall body (Jim are you reading this). However, I love to spin and Turbo Kick Box. I can't wait to get back into the groove of exercising. I'm sure that the first couple weeks will be an adjustment, probably a little soreness, but it will be well worth it! If you don't have your health, life isn't as easy to enjoy. I know this from watching my loved ones suffer with various illnesses.

This weekend is Easter!! I love Easter!! No, not because of the candy. But because of Christ. I'm teaching ALL the YW on Sunday (No I haven't finished my lesson yet, why rush it).

Kyle is graduating High School on May 22, 2009. Wow two kids down and one more to go. I will be sending out the announcements really soon. Kyle was suppose to bring them down last weekend and forgot. BJ has been up in Hurricane this week due to Spring Break. He and Kyle will be back this weekend.

Tanner is playing volleyball again for Basic. He is such a crazy kid. He wanted to dye his hair a dark blue. It didn't look bad when the color was processing. It was almost a black with a blue tint. Then when he washed it out, it looked way different. So I'm sure I will be coloring his hair sometime this weekend.

Justin was in Salt Lake City (actually Provo) last weekend. He came home on Tuesday night. He had a blast. He was visiting his Uncle Aaron and several other friends. He has a few friends that are coming down from Rexburg in a couple weeks.

So that's about all the knew news. So we wish you all a Happy Easter!!
