Yikes and yick you might say? And why?
Well because I found out I had sleep apnea, and I decided to just try to fix it instead of messing around with Cpap machines and etc. Besides, I've needed a tonsillectomy for a long time.
So the hope is that all this throat revision will be super helpful in the long haul. We'll see.
But it's taken weeks to recover. Kathy was here--she came the day before the surgery and stayed almost three weeks. She was the definition of a godsend. I was able to fully concentrate on recovering. And that was hard for me, but I wasn't allowed to worry about the kids or the house stuff. It was amazing.
Four weeks later now and I'm finally starting to feel like myself again. It was so much harder a recovery than I thought it was going to be.
And then I had to start catching up with work after being out for two weeks, and that's been a task. So blogging definitely hasn't been a priority.
But hopefully I can get back to it soon because it makes me happy and I have lots of fun pictures to share. In fact I haven't even been able to show my Christmas photos yet! Soon.
Here is my Max holding the cute posters they made for me to see when I got out of the hospital. He wants me to keep them forever and never throw them away. Its truly tempting. In fact Kris tried to throw away this first one in cleaning up, and it was somehow found. It was truly traumatic. I think Max is over it now, but we'll see.
This is the cutest one. A few close ups for you then I'm out for the night.
Gorse bush!!!!!!?!?

We're glad to have you back!
Love from Dad
We still have two snowflakes of yours hanging from the living room beam. And I hope they never come down. And I kept Char's shark posters for a decade - now they hang in her classroom. I still have full size whole body tracings of each of you curled up in a closet. It's not a hard thing to keep something that means something to a child, and keep it forever. He worked so hard on those - and I'm really, really proud of him. And so grateful to Kathy.
:) When I first saw that I thought it said, George Bush! Gorse Bush makes a whole lot more sense.
I'm glad you are recovering. What a nightmare procedure to have to go through! I'd have told the Dr. to put me in a coma for a month and just feed me through IVs!!!!
Oh my! I didn't know it was that intense of a procedure! I'm so glad you're doing well now.
We love you!
Glad Kathy was able to be there to help for so long. She is the best isn't she? We sure are lucky daughter-in-laws.
Max is the sweetest.

I have considered the same surgery for the same issue. I'm a CPAP user now, but I'd love to know about your results. Besides the sleep apnea, I have an extra large tongue for an extra small mouth. That's contributing. Soooo - your recovery sounds horrible, but it might just be worth it.

Love, Ginger
P.S. I have fallen head over heels with your two sons via your blog.
