Round two

 

Because once wasn't enough. LOL 4 weeks to the day, had the right hand done on Wednesday. This one has hurt more than the left and it's harder to do things with my left hand on a regular day but it's even harder because the left isn't completely back up and running yet. At least I didn't have to cook or do dishes yesterday!

Pa and Tyler playing with Hot Wheels.

That table is like a Timex - it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. It's had a lot of abuse over the last 35 years. We had to replace the chairs a few years back but the table is still going strong!

I've been sitting in the recliner (it's easier to get out of without hands) so Bella decided she would take over my chair. 

I did my Christmas decorating before surgery. I didn't put everything out this year. I just didn't have time. I only put up one tree in the living room and only emptied a couple of totes in the kitchen. I didn't finish until late Tuesday and had to be at the hospital at 6:30am on Wednesday so I'll have to get pictures after all the kids are gone and I can get things somewhat put back together.

Hope you are enjoying time with your loved ones this holiday weekend.

I'll be back soon with Christmas photos.

A Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my baby boy!

We had a little mini celebration while he was here visiting.

How can it have been 36 years already?

Obviously, he has always been 'cool'

So proud of the man he has become.

Wish he didn't live so far away but we make the best of the time we have when he visits and we got a bonus visit this year since he came for his brother's wedding at the beginning of October. That was a short visit, but he came back for a longer, planned visit the end of the month. 

Miss him the minute we drop him off at the airport every time.

Happy birthday, Jason!

Love,

Mom

A Few More Wedding Photos

Finally got some more wedding photos 

so I thought I would share a few.

Simple and sweet. 

Hand update - bandages are off, incision is almost completely healed (but still very tender). I don't have any restrictions other than what is 'tolerated' and it definitely tells me when it's too much. Not much grip strength, I can't pick up anything heavy, I can't put any pressure on my palm at all and there is limited range of motion. (The incision is right in the bend of the wrist)

All will improve with time.

I can stitch as long as I have the project on the lap stand but I'm not going to win any races - that is true even when I have full use of both hands.

Should have a date for the right hand this week - that'll be another challenge since I am right handed!

It has turned cold here finally. Hubby got the Christmas lights on the roof this weekend and will do the ones on the ground next weekend then finish up Thanksgiving weekend. We won't turn them on until Thanksgiving weekend. I haven't started inside yet - I usually wait until Thanksgiving but depending on surgery schedule I might give in a start a little early.

Have a great week!

Happy Anniversary!

 

Happy Anniversary to Brian and Brittany!
