Today

I have a whole list of things to do and one of them is to update the blog. I thought I should do that now.

So, Aaron is officially out the door and on his way to the World Series! He said it was weird to leave us. Weird, but probably good for him. He deserves a break.  Henry has a late start at school today so we are just all hanging out at home right now.  To be honest, it is a little weird without Aaron here. I feel a little bit like I am rolling the dice and hoping I won't get a seven (or what ever it is that you don't want when you play craps). With all the things I can do, I still do have limitations. Already this morning I had to go downstairs because Henry and Franny were playing together and Franny started crying.  It was only because Henry didn't want to give Franny a toy and she got upset, so no big deal.  Still, I picture either Franny or Henry hurting themselves and me being useless.  For that reason and others, I am headed to my parents after Henry goes to school. 

I hope I don't need any help, but if I do, my mom is there (my dad is on a business trip). Well, actually, I will probably need her help in the mornings, which brings me to an update. I think I'm doing pretty good. The stitches are looking better and better, but are itching like crazy.  I am SO ready for them to be out. My headaches are still there, but are also getting better. Mornings are still the hardest for me. As soon as I can break the headache in the morning, I am good to go, but before that I am pretty useless.  Two days ago I went shopping by myself at a fabric store. That COMPLETELY exhausted me. It showed me that maybe I'm not as normal as I think I am. It made me think I need a game plan for recovery. I need a slow introduction to normal life with more and more activity during the day. Watching the kids without Aaron is probably a good step.

I'll let everyone know how it goes
