I am now home from the hospital and recovering from surgery. Thanks to everyone for the emails and such. I really appreciate all the well wishes. If I haven’t emailed you back yet, please don’t take offense!! I’m on my laptop now, which is a really stripped down version of my overly techie self, so it may take me longer than usual to get back with you.

Really things after surgery are not as bad as I thought they would be. The worst part at this point is that I am literally bored to tears. I’m not a good sit on my butt and vegetate person so it’s hard for me to just “rest” like everyone keeps insisting I do. I know I need to take it easy, but yeesh, it’s really really really hard. Every time Denny catches me up he walks me back someplace to sit down. It pretty sad that I have now resorted to sneaking to the kitchen to get myself a drink, (imagine that, I am capable of pouring myself a drink without adult supervision), or that I get excited when the dog has to pee and Denny isn’t around to let her out.

In an effot to prevent myself from going insane, I emailed Cass today to see if she had any class kits around that I could send Denny in to pick up. That would give me something to do. Ideally I’d like to sit and scrapbook, and Denny did offer to bring stuff up for me, but I can’t see how that would work out too well. Considering all my “stuff” is all over my office he’d never be able to bring up just what I needed. I’m not a planner when I scrapbook, so I grab something, then something else, and I’m at least 5 different embellishment options in before I pick one. The poor man would be running up and down the stairs all day long. Then neither one of us would get anything done.

If anyone has any great ideas for ways to pass the time, beyond reading, (cuz I’m over books already), then send them my way. Denny is getting tired of wiping away my tears of boredom!
