Recovery is never easy!

Today is Sunday, It's been a LONG weekend. I think kids know when a parent is ill. Emilee has been a pistol (more than usual), never really been a daddy's girl at all. Since Andy has been home she has wanted him to pick her up or sit on his lap, and of course he can do neither. So I've been busy running around with her, trying to keep her busy. Saturday we got Andy settled and then went to the Farmer's Market. Its that time of year and we had a good time, just her and I. Teresa had spent the night next door, so that kept her busy.

So how has Andy been? Well I can say that I'm glad today is Sunday and I have to go to work tomorrow. He was in ALOT of pain Saturday, kept the ice on often and gave him something for the pain as often as he could take it. Was very hard for him to get up and move around. I tell ya when they say in sickness and in health, you really dont think about it at the time, but all I have to say is I must really love this man! He was kinda a cranky patient, no less he was in pain, I understand, but as he said I wouldnt make a very good nurse! I'll agree. I dont like to see people in pain. Today he woke up feeling better, he took a shower (yeah!), he stepped outside and took a little walk around the yard. Paul, our neighbor was giving Andy alot of crap and teasing him about his surgery. There's no way he's going to work tomorrow though, not sure what he thought on Friday but he'll be home. So between him and Emilee its been a LONG weekend.

As I sit here though, its good to know that he's on the road to recovery, can't wait for him to be back to normal. We had a few laughs though, it hurts him to laugh but I couldnt resist.

Anyway it's been painful, just ask him but he's just lucky he has me around to take care of him, cuz I'm not sure how many people would put up with him. HA.. love ya sweety!

And here are some pics of Emilee after eating her Strawberry Shortcake w/ice cream.... we got some good strawberries at the Farmer's Market!
