OH THE RECOVERY





Yes, here are the pictures I promised! You people are lucky I'm actually posting these cause they are so not attractive.....
Anyway recovery hasn't been so bad. I'm not as black and blue as I thought I would be, however I am WAY more swollen then I expected, all the way down to my checks!!! ha ha pretty funny :) Today was probably the worst day I have had, to start it off Chris left me for the first time (for a whole day) and I also thought I was not it that much pain so I tried a lower dosage of the pain meds...HUGE MISTAKE! Since Chris was not there to wait on me hand and foot and cook me every meal I slept in too long and didn't have breakfast then it was time for more meds and on an empty stomach they don't work so well :( so i was feeling sick from that then took a bath and was light headed through the whole thing. (I hate that feeling) Then I was too weak and sick to make breakfast so I just laid there with no energy and sick as a dog. Once I was able to eat the pain kicked in! oh the worst pain ever! So I thought a little more pain meds would help.....OH NO it was way too late. I called Chris crying and he had to leave all of his work and homework and come home to rescue me, load me up with drugs and feed me dinner :) now I feel like a million bucks! Thanks baby!
I have been telling Chris all week that I have the best nurse in the world and its so true I couldn't have asked for more... he has seriously been so amazing all week doing EVERYTHING I ask and even everything I don't ask him to do, like the other night he stayed up till 1 AM just cleaning the house and doing the dishes after I had been asleep for about 3 hours. He's so amazing he still has time to get all of his other work and homework for finals coming up done. You really are the best babe I can't thank you enough for letting me get this done, paying for it, and even taking such good care of me! I LOVE YOU!

I also gotta thank Marci for babysitting me for a couple of hours on Thursday and taking me to my doctors appointment, Tasha for picking me up cause I cant drive on drugs and checking on me all day and just hanging out with me, Nichole and Janell for the visit it was fun to chat with you girlys, Richard and Annette for the beautiful flowers you brought me today, and my cute friend Claudia who saved me today she brought me TONZ of CANDY about 4 movies (I already watched all of them) and even made me lunch when she came over! You guys are the best I love you all!

I need to thank you tooey! You and Chris took better care of me than I did of you. I hope you got lots of rest and I am glad Chris is so attentive to you that is such a strengthening moment. You were beautiful before and now you are going to be even more ( I don't know how that is possible! ) I hope you have better days and all the swelling stops in every way. Let me know if you need anything.
