2/10/16 I am feeling much better today. I have not had much pain since leaving the hospital. Today I have not taken any pain meds and the past few days have been taking tylenol and ibuprofen. I can get up and down and out of my chair easily and spent more time up and around today. I even washed some dishes. I do have to be careful and took a little nap. The kids have been so helpful, cleaning, cooking, and helping in any way. Jayden has been super helpful. Mark was my helper and nurse in the hospital and at home for the first few days. Once the weekday rolled around his work drew him back. I had hoped he would help the kids with their school, but I have to be happy with one day as substitute teacher. I have been sitting in my chair and telling the kids what to do next and it goes about as normal. Some frustration, but they get through. My parents came down yesterday and brought two meals and did laundry and tidying. It amazes me how friends that you do not expect to hear from, reach out help and yet some family don't even call or acknowledge it. I am blessed to have had so many friends that have generously brought food and meals, Loree S., The Driver's, The Lambert's, The Spillman's, The Rhoades.. I have also been using my freezer meals so mealtime has been very convenient.
