I think I'm getting there

It's six thirty in the morning and I'm awake. I sleep most of the day so when I am alert on any level here I am. I am doing much better but it's such slow going. I don't think I would have bothered with the surgery if I had anticipated this much pain but it's mostly over now.

I feel badly because hubby and I missed so many parties. Tonight is another one but I'm really not up to it. I could force myself but then I won't know how it effects Christmas Eve and day. These are his friends but I can't get him to go without me.

I have been so lucky. He has been amazing. Not complaining about all the boring stuff. ie:
cooking, straightening up...laundry...shopping...boy I owe him big time...now that I think of it a
couple of weeks before Christmas is not the time to do stuff like this.

Last year he was sick Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was the first time in his life he didn't see his mother over Christmas. Maybe next year I'll just take things as they come.

With no tree and no presents Penny the pack rat has been on her good behavior. a few
missing socks and pens and things but she is lazy and hides everything in the same spot....behind the dry sink..although I am missing about four rolls of tape.

Well, the least I can do is put on the coffee...thanks for putting up with me....

Oh Maunie, I hate to read that you are in so much pain. I know how it feels to have to put your life on hold...It is so bloody aggravating...

But try to relax and take it easy...it will not hurt to let everyone take care of you for awhile.

You're worth it my friend...

Plus, I say damn the torpedoes, and have a Merry Christmas anyway~

Thanks for being so good to me.

Big hug and love,

Annie

Annie honey...have not been on so
missed your lovely comment. Our Christmas was fine and I am feeling so much better. Wake up kind of sore but things get better.

Happy New Year...how have you been doing...We are going to Florida next week if all goes well but I will have my lap top and keep in touch.

Thanks for being such a dear friend. I do really appreciate you.
Keep well yourself.

loves and hugs.
