Dear
Children, the week went fast. We had some rain. I can tell from the tents you
made out of garbage bags in the yard. Dear Hailey, you did so great in the play
at EAC Bugsy and Malone. You had such fun; you love that kind of stuff. Dear Surgery,
for carpal tunnel, I felt way more nervous than I needed to be. I got a huge
headache, really nauseous and my hand almost swelled off but 2 weeks, I’ll be
good to go. Right? I’ve come to realize how much I need my right hand. And the
answer is a lot, I need it a lot. Dear Avary, poor Baby cakes. You’ve been
throwing up and feeling sick for days. Makes me sad. You’ve been sleeping on
the couch because you think the top bunk will make you feel sicker. Dear
Gilbert Temple, after taking the kids on the tour, it was nice to be able to
take 6 of 7 of the kids to the dedication. Even if we did have to make the kids
trade seats probably five times to keep them quiet. All 8yr olds make boat hats
out of a hanky, right? Dear Family, I am so glad that you are coming to see me
this weekend. I could really use some love and cheering up while sitting on my
couch. That’s what you’re supposed to do. K? Dear Will, you stayed up all night
with me when I was so sick after surgery. I’m ready for some normal life for us
now and I’m sure you are too. Thank You Will for helping me. Love You. Dear Self,
ugh. So tired. So overwhelmed. So limited. I still hate needing help. I need a
vacation from pain and illness. Any time now. Although, I am so very grateful
for two hands. Two hands that will hopefully do more than I can ever imagine.
