1 Wk Post-op


Howdy, boys & girls... kids & campers! I know it's been a bit since I posted, but I have several good excuses.


1) My computer took a dive. It wasn't looking good. I was assured by The Geek Squad (after spending $70 for a diagnostic) that I needed to spend another $250 to get my laptop running again. It needed a new hard drive ... after only 1 yr... and that was what it would cost for parts & labor. Then I mentioned it in passing to a friend who had called while I was in Best Buy and she assured me that they were full of crap & at a minimum her husband could do it cheaper.... a few days later he had it running reliably!


2) My other excuse is surgery. My body is not a huge fan of general anesthesia. The first week I was feeling pretty yucky. I started turning around Friday afternoon and have felt human again since. This was really unexpected for me since I really didn't think my c-section was that bad. I thought that this would be easier... but it turns out that no, it was not. My pain has been surprisingly low the last few days, though. Hurray for that!


My parents were here for the surgery and the next few days. They stayed a day longer than expected since I felt so run down. Abuela showed up the day they left and has been doing a good job keeping Mason occupied and the house running. She's done countless loads of laundry & told me to sit down or not lift something a million times ("not even a pencil" she'll shout). Most afternoons after their customary walk they come home, eat lunch and take a nap together.... it's a good routine!


So that's how things are going here on the ranch. I'm slowly healing. Mason's getting lots of attention. Abuela's getting her exercise!
