a little notice

Janets surgery was also a success. I guess they did take her thyroid and the groitter out! All at the same time. It went very smooth though. The dr. said the groitter (I still don't know if I am spelling that right) was the size of a softball. The largest he's ever seen. They are doing a biopsy on it just to rule out cancer. But it doesn't look like. She's recovering well, in the hospital till tomorrow or the next day depending on her levels.

I am feeling truely blessed right now. I have a wonderfully supportive family and husband. Carl has been wonderful with my recovery and my process. He has been so helpful and I am eternally grateful for him. Most men wouldn't do what he's done the last few days. I know he has loads going on at work, (he's up for a promotion but we won't know anything for a month so forget I said anything!LOL!) He's been on an interviewing commitee to hire more people for their office. He's had both trips to Salt Lake, me being gone and him going and helping Christy. It's just been an amazingly hectic month and he's been amazing.

He even listened to me whine about not being able to take my 'cast' off today! It won't come off till wed. I call it a cast, it's a wrap all the way from my thigh to my ankle. I have been so high on medication the last few days - I don't remember most conversations. So if I have forgotten what I have said please forgive me - it was the drugs talking. I had a severe allergic reaction or some sort to the medication they gave me. It was EVIL. almost as evil as Lortab!! YUCK!

Anyway - I am feeling like my oldself again and I am tickled that Janet will and should make a full recovery. I know that has been an long enduring, epic battle for them. It could have been a lot worse. We've been very lucky.

My family has been wonderful as well. My mom has called to check on me everyday. She left for Oregon to pick up Gabe yesterday and we learned sad news, that Mike and Jens dog Gypsy (a boxer) who's been around longer than our shih tzu buster (almost 10yrs) passed away yesterday. I cried. My heart hurts for them and the kids. I know they have grown up with that dog. She was a good dog for so long. Farewell go gypie!

There are so many things to be greatful for. I am happy that things have turned out the way they have.
