Going Under...
So, Tomarrow morning at 7:15am, I'm going to remove...the gall bladder. It's sounds so crude and mundain. My snobbish side would say... I am feeling a little distained with my predicament. I am also, feeling a little apprehensive about going under the anestesia and waking up with something missing from my whole body. Although, its a good thing that it will be gone and it won't hurt anymore. The pain is quite excruciating. My Husband is taking time off from work to accompany me. My Mother and Sister took time out of their schedules to help with the children and the household. The family is in the best of hands. My mother works for Sutter as an Administrator and my sister is a nurse-RN. So, most of the bases are covered for taking care of my position in runnng the household. LOL. This really demonstrates the importance of a mother's role in the family. Seriously, I am feeling very lucky. I should say...I am blessed and grateful. All of this shuffle for one person is crazy. I have a new awareness and appreciation for my mother and grandmothers. My sister is...fantastic... for being available when I am down. How do you repay someone for going above and beyond? I bought a pretty little spring green dress for my sister and I'm working on a gift for my mother. Anyway, We set up a "Recovery Lounge" in our livingroom. I made sure all the laundry was caught up. All the bathrooms disinfected, so as to not offend. We printed out the kids daily schedules and chore charts. We bought some kids art materials for the little one's to have something to do. Meanwhile...I have crochet projects, reading material and my drawing journal all ready for the time I may get bored. I should only take a few days to recooperate. Onward and Upward. 3 comments from 3 users

You'll feel so much better. I had it done about 7 years ago and was a new woman. Good luck! (I love the new profile pic too!)
