Sitting

joey2.jpg"Sometimes having surgery is a good thing," seven-year-old Joey told me yesterday.

"Oh Yeah," I said. "Why?"

"Because you get to sit around and do nothing," he answered.

Wait. It gets better.

Joey went on to tell me: "You are always driving us around and doing things for us and now you get to sit and rest."

I love that guy.

Sitting is exactly what I've been doing ever since my tummy was tucked on Wednesday. I've been sitting in my living room recliner, sitting at the kitchen table, sitting in my mom's car traveling to and from post-op appointments, sitting in my back yard watching Joey and Danny splish and splash on their new Slip-n-Slide. I can't yet recline in a flat position, and I can't stand for extended periods of time. Sitting. That's what I've been doing. That, and taking pain medication. And emptying drains. And sleeping. And writing. And doing quite well, I think.

I'm not in horrible pain. I'm tight, and hunched over, and I feel a bit of pressure and pulling. But I'm not miserable. I predict, in fact, that before too long, I'll be back to my routine—the one that involves driving my boys around and doing things for them. For that, I can't wait.

    How adorable is your little guy, so words make your heart melt. I can’t believe you did it, but I say why not, you only get one life and you must make the most of it! Happy recovery!
