Tim and I have had this great system worked out this week! It's worked quite well. In the morning, we've been getting up, getting kids dressed & fed, then around 930 or 10, I go back to bed for a couple hours of rest. I get up around 1230, we get the kids lunch, then babies go down for nap an hour later. Just in time for me to rest again! The last 3 days, he has done something "fun" with big boys during baby nap time...just to give me a quiet house for a couple hours! It's worked so nicely. While I am able to have time with the family, I am still getting plenty of rest time to try to get over this surgery!
Tonight though, instead of doing the normal bedtime routine with the kids, Tim let me run away. Not too far, I went around the corner to my mom's house. I got to camp out on HER couch for the evening. So, not only was it quiet, I got to hang out with my mommy! We don't get much ALONE time. Normally when we're together, our conversation is incessantly interrupted by 1 or more children wanting 1 or more VERY IMPORTANT things! So, hanging out ...even though I'm not much fun right now... was fun! We ate supper and watched a cutsie little movie and we TALKED without interruption! It was nice!
Today's pain was more manageable than yesterday's. However today, I have felt dizzy & light-headed. I checked my blood pressure and WOW that might explain some things! Ya know, I'm taking all these meds to keep my pain under control. BUT in the meantime, my blood pressure sky-rockets(in spite of blood pressure regulating meds). I've never seen it this high...which might explain my "run over" feeling! .......just another reason I'll be glad when this mess is all over!
