And a Happy New Year


Merry Christmas!!!
Im sorry I didn’t post anything during the process of this surgery. It was A LOT more painful than I thought it was going to be. But God is good, and we were able to come home for Christmas J

Its a White Christmas!
Our hospital Christmas meal
Merry Christmas!
            So Wednesday through Thursday was kind of a blur… I remember going in to the operating room, I remember getting the epidural, and I remember being in the ER, but I don’t remember a lot after that. The first few days were pretty miserable to be honest. I was in SO MUCH pain, I couldn’t do anything except lay on my back in bed and watch TV. Rolling over hurt, moving hurt, laughing hurt, and when it came time for me to “go for a walk”, I thought I might pass out. The first walk I took was a very slow, painful process, that included many tears, screams, and resistance. My poor parents were very patient with me as I grouched in anger, but it was one of the first steps on our check list of things to do before we were able to leave. The second was eating. At first I was begging for food, but once I was able to eat, my apitite was as small as a hampsters, and it almost made me sick. Day by day I was able to sit up without help and walk a little better, and each day I was slowly coming off all the morphine and pain meds they were giving me through my IV. On Saturday, my familys favorite restaurant La Madeline, gave us Christmas dinner! That was an experience, and it was super yummy! Pumkin pie and everything! It was nice to have something else except hospital foodJ
I miss my hair:(
They think im a fall risk... 
            Needless to say, im still very sore, but its so good to be home for Christmas. My follow up appointment is the 9th, and then we will deternmine when 3rd surgery will be. The disease is FINALLY GONE! PRAISE JESUS!

            -Grow closer to the Lord
            -Stay fit and work out
            -Grow out my hair
            -Make great grades in school
            -Learn to sing better
