Okay, I guess my break is over! We are definitely nowhere near being done everything around here but decided that due to circumstances it is going to be a long time and we can't have our internet down that long so we have hooked it back up. I am not able to use my computer as the office is torn apart, but thank goodness for the laptop and wireless!
I won't be around much, but have missed you all and at least now I don't have to type quick emails on DH's little phone keyboard or change my Facebook status line via a text message on my cell!
We have new carpets but the wood floor is taking a long time due to the fact DH can only work on it in the mornings and I am of little to no help. We have some friends coming over on the weekend so that should help.
I have been reading through all your comments in this thread and the missing persons one and on my profile and your caring almost brings me to tears. My leg is swollen and painful again, but it is not due to anything I have or haven't done. It is scar tissue building up inside just as the first time when I had to have the second surgery. But they can not operate again as the scar tissue will just keep forming. I am elevating it and icing it 3 - 4 times a day, staying off of it as much as possible and will soon be going to my old physiotherapist who specializes in therapeutic needling (similar to acupuncture but slightly different) and massage therapy. He has helped me before and I believe he can again. I have had to give up the pool at least for now because it aggravates it too much so I go and do only the upper body workout and spend the rest of the time in the hot tub!!!! So please know that I AM looking after myself, honest.
I will be here on and off and really look forward to "chatting" with you all in the threads.
