Surgery Update and Why I’m Mean

June 29, 2017

I saw Dr. A on Tuesday after a weekend of pain. The pain intensified over the weekend into the week by Tuesday I was like what is going on. The new stitches only in for 7 of the 10 days they needed to be are infected stitches had to be removed so I’m open.   I’ve been on antibiotics for the past 3 days and things are looking better. Saw Dr. A again today he says things are going in the right direction so hang tight. The incision is slowly closing.  I have very sensitive skin and so many allergies to medical products and medication.  I feel for Dr A and his team as the navigate through this mystery of my recovery.  Someone ask me if you knew the day of surgery all this would have happened with this last surgery would you have gone through with it.  The answer is clearly without a doubt YES! I have never looked backwards with any of the surgeries.  Full steam ahead until I reach my final goal.

I’m still not allowed to go back to the gym or work on anything I need to lift.  Poor Greg is having to do a lot of things I normally do for Blue Happy.  His favorite is digging through my storage items for that one piece of wood I think is over in the back left corner.  We did find it by the way and it’s going to be a great piece added to the July 1st sidewalk sale.  This collection is very colorful and artsy and I can’t wait to share it with you on Saturday.  I will be posting pictures mid morning of the sale.

Today seemed like a day that was full of things other than Blue Happy things.  I did get to have lunch with my son and that was a bright spot.  I so enjoy our conversations about art and all the ideas and projects.  He is my artsy child and we connect on that level more than I do with most people.  My daughter had a doctor appointment so I met her there and sat with the kids in the lobby.  Ethan played a game on my phone and we discovered he is smarter than his Lolli when it comes to video games,  Scarlett decided to do this  squealing thing and scare me to death every time she did it.  I did enjoy sitting with them anytime together is a blessing,  Sometime you can’t always plan your day because life just gets in the way.  I’m sure some people in my life are curious as to why I’m so grumpy and will it go away soon.  Maybe! I’ll be honest when I get frustrated with my surroundings I get grumpy followed by mean LaTonya.  I try not to let that happen but I’m not perfect and sometimes it just does.  There are many dents in my halo and trust me it’s dusty.  My sweet bestie Karen is always trying to be the reasoning voice in my ear.  Tonight I just stuck my tongue out at her.  She told me to go to bed and get some rest.  Maybe she is right tomorrow is sure to be a Blue Happy day.
