Lessons learned

Four long months since I last posted?! Not for lack of events that's for sure! Let's see...best way to sum up recent events...we feel like we are living in our own made-for-TV medical drama. I'll spare you all the details but I thought I'd share some lessons I hope I've learned.

*To never take my health for granted and the little things my body can do without me even thinking about it. How about swallowing your own saliva? We never think about tiny things like that until you see someone you love lose their ability to do this!!

*It may just be a little pain, easily ignored, but if it doesn't go away after weeks, don't keep ignoring it!

*If you are wearing a cast and you're desperate for a shower: wrap it up with heavy duty bags. Do NOT use the cheapskate store brand garbage bags!

*If you do get your cast wet, get it removed ASAP. Even if you only had it put on a day ago and you're embarrassed :)

*Our family and friends have pitched in and supported us so many times the last few months. We are so lucky and I feel like I can never thank them adequately. I hope at least I can be the same kind of friend in return.

*Once again my hubby proves his love by the way he handles all the bumps in our lives. He is so capable and willing to rise to the occasion without complaint! I need to let him know more often how much I appreciate him.

*If you have all the usual pregnancy symptoms, don't assume you're experiencing early menopause. There, I told on myself-go ahead and have your laugh at my expense. :)

*Doctors are not magicians, they do their best, and they pray for you.

At this point I am humbled and in God's hands and sure I have more to learn!
