So far so good...

So far the surgery was a success. There are a few things to remember if you ever do this:
1. No matter how much you prepare it is never enough.
2. Having extra large packing material in your VaJJ don't feel good and pulling it out hurts...alot.
3. No matter how much the doctor minimizes a catheter it is still a bag of pee that you have to carry around ALL THE TIME and cannot go anywhere.
4. Doctors are impressed with things like no bruising and alot of bleeding...go figure.
5. Resting and being told by the doctor to NOT do anything is ok for a day maybe 2 but gets boring after awhile.
6. Hoping for Tuesday to hurry up and get here so I can get rid of this bag is my main thought right now. If he says I need to use for another week I may just give up on the whole thing.

That's all I have to say about all of this for right now.

To work or not to work...

I have been a non working person for about 2 years now. Sometimes it is fun..but lately I have been getting bored. In about a month I will be taking care of Wesley and his friend every other week, so boredom will be non existent then. But then there is the fall and I will be back to doing nothing again. I would like the extra money...that is always helpful.
There are a few of my favorite stores that I think I will apply at. I am hoping I can work in the evening like 5 pm to 9 pm. The only problem I have with retail is the weekend work and the holiday work. I am just not sure I can get a part time job with an office.
A few weeks ago I saw in the paper that they needed volunteers so I emailed the lady. I was so busy that week that I wrote to her and said I didn't think I needed to take this on. She was real understanding but I felt bad. Now how can I be too busy a few weeks ago and now I am just bored. What is that about?
On another note I have been going to these classes at the health club. They are called Art of Strength Fundamentals. Now they have been kicking my butt and apparently there is a harder class that is the next step up. I can see the changes in my body and loving it, the energy, the stamina. I am loving it.
Bye for now....
