MIA

I know I've been MIA lately, but I've been trying to recover from some minor surgeries I had and I am ashamed to say, they have kicked my "arss".  Two weeks ago on Wednesday I had some dental surgery.  Un-be-knownst to me it took 6 hours from start to finish.  Then the next morning I had my gallbladder and quite a bit of scar tissue removed.  If that wasn't enough, the Tuesday/Wednesday following surgery I got what we now believe was a stomach bug.  I was throwing up for hours and had had very little to no food so I'm not sure where it was coming from, but I was some kind of sick.  I've always been able to pride myself in the fact that very little gets me down and I am usually bouncing back from anything like surgery really quickly with little to no pain.  Well let me tell ya, I don't know what in the world is going on, but that has been the furthest from the truth on this one.  I really could probably blame my sweet hubby on this, because I tell him all the time the older HE gets the more I fall apart.  Well, if he would stop getting older maybe I would have recovered a little better.  :) 
In all seriousness though, I don't know how I would have come through like I have if it hadn't been for him.  He is definitely my rock when I need him.  He has taken such good care of me and I will admit (only to you) that I've actually been a bit on the scared side at how sick I got with all this.  I don't know that I've ever known me to be this far down and struggle to bounce back before. 
I came back to the office (although I did work several days from home) on Thursday and can I tell you that it was probably the longest most brutal day I've had in a long time.  I finally did get a little rest last night so I felt some better today, but I've still been terribly uncomfortable and just not felt good.  I had to cancel plans with one of our bonus sons and his wife this weekend, because I just need another weekend to recuperate and I know if they were here I would want to be dipping in their kool-aid and I would not rest. 
I hope to be back to 100% by next week or as close to it as I can get.  Maybe with lots of rest this weekend and just focusing on that I will see a huge difference.  I hate feeling like this and more than that I hate feeling like such a wimp, but honestly I can say, there is nothing I can change about that.  It has actually really kicked my butt.

Please remember me in your prayers as I still have a ways to go to feel 100% yet, but I'm eventually getting there.  Thank you in advance for those prayers.
