High/Low 7.1.05

hey everyone!

how ya doin? I"m good! Tired and good.. it's been a harrowing past few days.. BIG ups and some downs.. but all in all an amazing 2 days.. my mom is going fine.. Thank you for your prayers.. she went into surgery at 8AM on Thursday 6/28 and we didn't get to see her until around 5:30 that afternoon.. it was a successful surgery.. and my mom is actually doing really well! She has her own room.. and is progressing quite quickly! We are all very grateful to have our mom laughing with us today.. (she actually has been pretty up beat!)

She was supposed to go into a rehabilitation place for a week or so.. but the Dr said if she continues to progress.. she might get to go straight home! What a great surprise! Now there is a lot of pain.. and she is on a bit of pain medication (morphine) so.. we'll see... one day at a time!

It's been great having my family and friends with me.. I am getting to know my uncle a lot more.. whom I just adore.. and my Auntie.. it's been awesome having her here too... We have done a LOT of laughing.. and reminicing.. which is good! Peter spent the day with me in the hospital.. and came to visit today too.. which is a GREAT show of support.. He actually made dinner for my whole family tonite at his place.. I made yummy risotto and he grilled.. yum!

All in all.. a very good past few days.. i'd say the only 2 things that are stinky is i'm SO tired.. on the go go go go.... i am ready for a LONG nap!!! And.. i have strayed from my no grain TREMENDOUSLY the past few days.. eating cookies (i haven't had a cookie since last april) and whatever comes in front of my face... I saw some really bad pictures of me today.. ugh.. i NEED to get back on the wagon again.. my sister is looking SO good!! oh man... i need to try to catch up...

alright.. i can barely keep my eyes open.. check my flickr.. i got some GREAT pics!!!
more later my lovebugs.
