I just want to say "hi" to all the new people as well as to all my "old" friends here. I just have not felt like posting, unfortunately. Sometimes the recovery is a bit rocky, and invariably I would think that we all wonder with these new pain symptoms whether the rest of our lives will feel this way. That ugly short guy with his stilettos has really been doing a number on my right shoulder the past few days, and my right arm has been pretty numb today... something new.... and scary. I'm not sure if it's time to call the doc and panic, but tomorrow is a Friday, obviously one of the scariest days of the week to someone who is ill or in pain! lol At least the Perc is finally helping. I put off having a whole one all day long.
I finally got to our HS to help out in the College Room- volunteering I have done for 5 years but where I have spent precious little time in 2003. I've written (and re-written...)the scholarship booklet the past 4 years. One of my co-workers drove me, and we are planning how to get off to a quick start next fall when classes begin again. I have the most seniority and experience, and I have to figure how to get it all down on paper and/or do some big training next fall, especially if I want to "retire". Already big plans are taking shape for this June and for 2004.
We have a graduation in the family on Saturday, and as a special treat, my husband will be able to be on stage and may be able to shake his (son's) hand after he's presented with his diploma. How many people can do that for their kids at graduation? It'll be a surprise for our son! My family is arriving tomorrow night for the weekend.
Our other guests are leaving tomorrow afternoon after a 10 day visit.... I'll tell you, never again will I allow so many guests (two sets) after major surgery. It's too hard to take, even if I'm not doing the work. I don't like being treated like a hotel; and I have to admit to feeling resentful and feeling used. Hmpf!
Some day soon I hope to be a contributing, productive member here again. But for now, I'm going to bed before the Percoset wears off. Take care, .... I miss you all, and I wish you pain free days and nights.

Having a better evening.... Hi to all, old and new 
!!! That's no small thing. I'm assuming he's graduating HS. Any plans for college?
My hubby works nights and son is at school during the day. I just have to tell you this funny girl. My hubby went to get his hair cut by his sister. They asked how he was he said well lets see my mother in law has been over almost everday has fixed us numerous meals along with my sister-n-law he said "You 2 havent done anything to help out!" hehehe I was proud of him. Why is it when others have surgery I am good about cleaning for them or fixing a meal. I am so thankful for my family they are always so goos about helping others. Well winged hope to see you post again soon!
