I'm Back

Well I got back a couple of days ago. It was a good trip. It was alot of work as well though. My daughter did great and is recovering very well. She handled the surgery well. I must say that this was a "trip". For the first few days she was in alot of pain which was to be expected. She took her pain medication like clockwork for the first few days and then starting cutting back a bit. She had to wear a sling for the first few weeks and of course she did. One of the purposes of wearing the sling when you are out and about is so that people be careful of you. Usually when you see someone with a sling on then you watch out well in a couple of cases that didn't happen. We went out for dinner, there was 5 of us. Well the owner of the restaurant was going from table to table asking how things were. Well we had Gretchen at the end of the table because for one she is left handed and that way no one would be bumping her while we ate well the owner came to our table and what did he do?!! he patted her on her back on the left side and jostled her I thought she was gonna faint. She goes that's the bad he arm!!! Off he goes and then 10 minutes later comes back and does the same thing. Needless to say we were out of there quickly before anything else happened. My daughter goes, umm hello I am wearing a sling!!! I felt so bad for her. She took her pain medicine for sure then. And also on 2 different days I had to take her to appointments. That was alot of driving for sure. Wore my butt out, lol. We had fun though for sure. On the first appointment we met her sister and friend and the 4 of us had lunch. That was nice and the second appointment was fun too we had lots of time to jam in the car and talk. She starts physical therapy tomorrow I think she said so that is good too.
Also yesterday was my birthday. I had a nice day. Lots of peace and quiet and just vegging at home. Don got me a used laptop for my birthday. It is nice. I wanted one so bad because when we go away I need access to my work in case something happens and the second week of taking care of Gretchen because I didn't have one I had not internet access and couldn't even check my office email so when I got back here I had an ungodly amount of email, lol. I guess Don realized what I was talking about this trip. If he is with me well he has one and I can use his if I need to but he was back here the second week of my trip so it was crazy. Well now I can just take mine with me and if I need to get online all I will need is a hot spot. I am so happy. I am actually using it right now to post. I will probably get rid of my desktop if this works out like I am hoping. I will probably take my desktop to my office pretty soon I will need a second computer at my office.
Well other than that not much happening. I did get some stitching done but not as much as I had hoped to because I had so much going on while taking care of my daughter. One of the hardest things was when we got there we found that the refrigerator had gone out. We had to get that repaired and then the seal on the dishwasher was bad. It was just one thing after another. Oh well such is life I guess. Hope you all have been well and I will post again soon. Love you guys!!
