So I haven't heard from Drew in a long time. I miss him so much...I hate these communication silences.

So today I had one of those moments that remind me I live on an Army post. Joni is terrified of thunder. Well, the artillery is out on the range today...and we can hear and FEEL it at our house. There was a particularly loud boom and Joni came running to me and I said to her.."It's ok, its only the artillery, hon."!!! Where else would a mommy ( Read more... )

So every day I am able to do a little bit more. I still have to be careful though. I forget how little five pounds is when I try to lift things. (I am not supposed to lift more than five lbs.) I still can't drive though, and it is driving me nuts. I am such a control freak!!!! I can't stand to be in a car while anyone else is driving!!! I am ( Read more... )

So I got the drains out on Monday! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy to get rid of those things. They are a necessary evil though. Tonight I get to take a shower for the first time since the surgery! I am so looking forward to that!!!! The girls are looking pretty good. I haven't had any pain meds today...and I stopped taking the Perc. the day ( Read more... )

I am feeling better today. Still sore, but not taking percoset anymore. I don't like that stuff. The tylenol works fine. Got go see the girls for the first time today. They seem so SMALL! It is crazy. I am so glad I did it though. I feel so much better even with the annoying drains in. Next...I can't wait to get a shower again!!!I have to ( Read more... )

I am done with the surgery now. Got home yesterday. Things are going along pretty well right now. It hurts, but that is to be expected. Though I can alread feel the benefits though. I have an easier time breathing (that I noticed as soon as the anisthesia wore off!!!) and the perpetual back pain and tension headaches are GONE!!!! It is ( Read more... )

So my surgery is on Tuesday. I am a bit nervous...this is gonna be a HUGE change for me...Pray for me, for courage, and peace. There are so many things that I am worried about. Like will Drew still find me attractive? He says he will, but you know, I've NEVER been small. I am going to look so different. It's scary.

So last night I had this really crazy dream. Drew was at some school or something. I went to visit him as a suprise. When I got there I found him at the cafeteria in a booth with a guy and a girl. The girl was pretty and she was really talented at drawing. I sat down with them and Drew never looked at me the whole time. He was watching her. ( Read more... )

I am feeling so much better today. A lot more relaxed. First thing this morning my friend called to see if we wanted to go to the beach. So we spent the afternoon with them at the beach! It was nice to get away from here for a while ( Read more... )
