Before her surgery on the 5th we had to cram some fun time in. Like having dinner on Balboa Island, and then taking the ferry back...
say cheese...
okay say cheese...
c'mon you sillies, say cheese...
CHEESE!
-----------------------------------------------------------------We celebrated July 4th with a picnic in the park, grilling, playing games, playing ball, watching the kids, water balloons...
Happy Belated 4th of July!The very next day Michelle had her surgery. She is doing really good, not to say it was a breeze. It wasn't.
Her recovery has been painful, but she no longer has the 2 tubes dangling out of her with the bags that needed to be emptied twice a day. We really should have given them some cute names but we just called them bag 1 and bag 2...not very humorous!
Maybe a good thing since it hurt her to laugh.

I am not having to help her up to a sitting position, which hurt so bad she would cry (and me too).
She is no longer walking bent over looking like an old lady.
She can raise her arm straight ahead and is doing her excercises with less pain.
She can shower.
She is hardly taking any pain meds.
She is no longer sleeping in a sitting position.
She is driving short distances.
She is back in the kitchen helping me cook.
She is back to planning activities for the kids.
You've come a long way baby, you've come a long way!
"Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and His strength, seek His face always. Remember the wonders He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He pronounced." 1 Chronicles 16:8-13
Next post... breakfast in bed : )
Praying now for a full, speedy recovery for Michelle.

That's awesome that Michelle has definitely come a long way. What fun pics. Love the "say cheese" pics - they made me laugh! And your 4th of July looked fun. I can't imagine wearing a sweater on 4th of July. I wish! It's been so hot here, you're not missing much. Love & Prayers ~ Veronica
