Oh the joys of surgery

I know this probably isn't the best way to start out my blog, but it's also the reason I have enough time right now to start one. I'm sitting on my couch, doing absolutely nothing, recovering from the surgery I had last night. I found out I have endometriosis, so they had to go in and remove all the endometrial tissue. Oh joy! The surgery itself went well, but waking up from anesthesia was a whole other story. Today, my incisions are not very painful, but my shoulder is killing me. I'm thinking something went wrong when they were moving me after surgery, or I was laid in a strange position during surgery. Either way...thank goodness I have that vicodin here.

I honestly was bored and decided to start this blog. I'm planning on using it as a journal/notepad for random thoughts. Some may make sense, some may not...oh well.

My angels (aka my dogs) are making me feel better today, so here's a little picture of each of them...

I still cannot believe that Christmas is next week. This year has gone by so fast, yet when I think of things that happened in February or March, it also can feel like it was soo long ago. I'm sure you know what I mean. I just hope 2009 brings good things to those that I love and care about. I am also hoping that 2009 will be a year of good health for me. I'm so exhausted with health issues, that I would just ask for one year of health. That would be SO nice.

This Christmas, Kyle is coming to my parents' house for Christmas. My sister Camilla and her husband Scott will be bringing my nephew Roan out, which I cannot wait for. It's going to be so nice, but I also feel bad for Kyle. He's so used to going to Idaho to see his family, but this year he's not going, and they can't come out to see him. I know it won't be the same for him, but my mom is one of those people that can make anyone feel comfortable, so I'm sure he'll still have a great time. I honestly am looking forward to spending time with my family more than all the gifts. I think it's a real sign of maturity when you are able to get past the idea of gifts, and think about memories instead. I am so lucky to have parents who spoil me at Christmas, but even if they didn't, I would still love Christmas. I cannot wait to see Roan open gifts! Children are so honest and pure, which is so refreshing to be around.

Ehh..my stomach is cramping up right now, so I think I am going to end this for now. I think it's time to lay down, maybe watch Step Brothers with Will Ferrell (which is hilarious, in case you haven't seen it!), and wait for Kyle to get home. I hope everyone has a great holiday season.

Till next time,

Me =)
