Thanks

Thanks for everyone who has kept us in your prayers and the get wells that I have received. Im post op day 2.
I have made it through the surgery okay. It started out a little rocky, I had to stay in the post anesthesia area longer due to pain management and that fact I couldnt urinate. So I dont think I ended up leaving the hospital until around 7pm. That night before bed, I thought the recovery was going to be pretty easy because it seemed like all that hurt was the incision. Well, I woke up Saturday and it felt like my body had been through the iron man competition. I was extremely sore everywhere and was hurting though all my incisions. Adam took great care of me though. Last night, I slept with a heating pad behind my neck and shoulders the whole time and this morning they are not as sore thank goodness. I was kind of hoping the gas pains from where they inflate your stomach during surgery to see better wouldnt show up, but they seem to have started this afternoon. I think im doing a little better though. Im going about 5 hours btw pain medication. I still cant walk around or get up very easily by myself though. Its frustrating. But its only day 2!
I am greatly looking forward to next weekend though. We are planning on going to Memphis for Charles's 3rd birthday. I love visiting them. It will give me something to focus in on.
Adam has been searching for a lot of jobs of the weekend. His boss did call him on Friday wanting to set up an interview with a position in Nashville for a diffrent company. He didnt get the call until that night bc the hospital didnt have reception on our phones. But its kind of weird bc the company she is talking about told Adam before hand they were looking for someone with CT experience. But mabye she has talked with them in at least interviewing him. Either way..please pray he will find something soon. He is such a hard worker anyone would be so lucky to have him. Hes applied to other various places too so hopefully well hear something.
Kelly, my sister in law, is coming up to help out with me tomorrow while he is at work. That was nice of her, I think shes bringing us some pumpkins from Adams parents garden. We need something festive around haha.
Well, im going to go rest!!
