Sunday Seven...
Since the day is not quite over yet, and I happen to be awake for a little while... I thought I would go ahead and sneak in a Sunday Seven -- just under the wire!!! :) Seven things I am
thankful for this past week!
1. Prayerful friends. I'm so thankful to all the people who prayed for me and my surgery -- and also to all of you who prayed for Lazy Daisy and HER lap band surgery! We are both doing well, we're both a little loopy, and we're both surviving on liquid diets!!! We're SUCH good friends!!! LOL!
2. Anesthesia! Oh yes! I am definitely thankful for it this week! Unlike Daisy, I have had general anesthesia MANY times... and I must admit - I LIKE it! The stuff they use in the Oral Surgeon's office isn't actually "general" anesthesia though -- they say it doesn't "put you to sleep" -- but that you are totally unaware of anything and remember no pain. They are accurate! It was very easy going in and out of it too -- but I've never really had any problems with general either.
3. A handsome hubby who has looked after ME by looking after his MOM and keeping her out of my hair! I am the type of patient who just likes to go hide in a cave (my bedroom) and sleep, read, or lay around in a vegetative state until the pain goes away. Fortunately for me, there has been NO PAIN, but that has been because of the good drugs that keep me feeling Loopy... and thus it is still all I want to do! LOL!
4. The other task that Handsome Hubby has been great about is bringing me strawberry shakes from Arby's! The poor man had planned to get me a huge box of chocolates to devour the night before my surgery -- being that it was Valentine's Day and all... and I told him a few days prior "DON'T DO IT" -- because of Lent and all... so he has been very happy to keep me supplied in strawberry shakes -- which feel ever so good and taste so yummy!!!
5. You'll want to BIGGER this one!!! I am sO thankful for this little Valentine Fairy! And yes... she DID visit me on Valentine's Day. She came bearing gifts of homemade cards and cookies! (NON-chocolate cookies!) In return I gave her some store bought valentines, a heart shaped box of chocolates, and MANY MANY MANY hugs & kisses!!!
6. I'm very thankful for the Neurologist that I took Mom too on Thursday -- it was for a memory evaluation... hahaha... She gave us some sleep medication that helps keep Mom from wandering so much. She also gave us an additional memory medication that we have not yet noticed any benefit from. And she gave me some actual "helpful" advice on finding "help" in the county. I will work on THAT this week!
7. I'm thankful that my darling Amanda has already offered to take me to my next two "procedures" ... and drive me home -- since they will once again make me LOOPY! Seems this is going to be a pretty regular "state of being" for me for the next 3 weeks or so! Yippee.
