That is another story for another day.
Ya'll. For real. Last week was THE craziest, most hectic week we have had in a long time!
Not even all bad stuff, just insane timing of it all.
It started out with us having to replace the transmission in Benji's truck.
Not fun.
Then on Saturday one of my dearest friends adopted TWINS! It was such an exciting day!
Sunday, after church and lunch with Benji's Sunday School teachers, I ran around trying to get ready for my surgery on Tuesday. I wanted to make a meal for my friend before I went under the knife so I stocked up on groceries, cooked and cleaned my house a little.
That evening Benji kicked off a new program for high school and college kids. I went to that and stayed until I had to meet Benji's mom at our house because she was dropping off the kids.
I got Emery fed and ready for bed then finished cooking meals for the next few days.
Monday I visited my friend and her new babies. My mom came up with my 2 year old nephew to stay with Emery and Jesse during my surgery.
I had surgery to remove my gall bladder on Tuesday. We had to be at the surgery center bright and early at 7am!!
The gall bladder/surgery part went great. The intubation process part went not so great. Not sure if we will ever get the full story of what happened but some how my uvula was stretched and swollen to the length of my tongue and the size of my thumb.
Needless to say that has set me back. My throat is still very sore. It still is painful to swallow. Today was the first day I have been off of pain meds (only because I ran out).
As soon as I was discharged I had to see an ENT about my uvula. I FINALLY got home from my 7 am surgery after 4pm. (Still not sure WHY I was discharged...we have a lot of questions).
Emery had her second ballet class that afternoon and I didn't want her to miss. One of our friends ended up taking her since we were so delayed getting home from surgery.
I didn't get much rest that day or the next day. Partly due to my throat and partly due to Emery and Asher having such a great time!!! Once I found some ear plugs and had a shower I finally crashed for a good while on Wednesday afternoon.
Emery started Awana on Wednesday night. I have been wanting her to start Awana since she was born so I really didn't want her to miss her first night. Benji also had his Wednesday night program kick off for the fall that night. He went into work that day, got home from work around 9pm and Mom and Asher left.
Thursday, thankfully Benji was able to take off work and stay with the kids. I think I slept most of that day. He did have to show the car a few times that day and had a few errands to run. That evening I had a baby shower to attend for one of my friends who is having her 3rd baby. I wouldn't have missed it for anything so Benji dropped me off and I entertained them, I'm sure, with my drug induced state.
Friday, Benji ran some errands with the kids while I got the first real rest of the week. He had to get the car cleaned to show it to a few people. I started calling the Dr's again because I still wasn't able to swallow well and by then I was getting pretty hungry.
I had planned to go to lunch with a few friends to celebrate a birthday that day. Once again in my drug induced stupor I had Benji drop me off and I'm sure I was a sight.
While I was at lunch Benji SOLD THE CAR!! ha! It was and is such a blessing, but it was such crazy timing. I played phone tag with the Dr's all during lunch. I got dropped off at home by one of my friends... Benji showed up just as I was hanging up with the Dr.
Benji had to meet the guy buying the car at 2pm. I figured I was probably going to have to be at the Dr again that afternoon. AND....Benji had to have 200 hot dogs cooked by 530 that evening for the first tail gate/ football game of the high school season. MEERRCCY.
As Benji was signing the title to the car I was calling around town trying to find someone/ anyone to give him a ride home from the bank after selling the car.
NO ONE IN GREENVILLE COULD HELP HIM!!! Really!
I just couldn't bring myself to drive with both kids in the car while on narcotics. If I hadn't of had to drive with the kids in the car I may have done it....
Any way so I stayed with kids, Benji met the guy at the bank, sold the car, walked to our church and finally found someone to drive him home.
I didn't even have time to be sad about the car! haha.
During all that I had an emotionally charged conversation with the final call from the Dr's office of the day.
No Dr's appointment that day, they told me to just eat ice cream until Monday and if I still wasn't better call them back.
Whatevss....
Once Benji found a ride home he had to book it BACK to the church (in his truck this time, not on foot), so that he could get ready for his annual tail gate for the Riverside/Eastside football game.
Which included cooking 200 hot dogs.
He got the hot dogs cooked, got set up for the tail gate and everything went great. He had promised Emery she could come to the football game. Let me tell ya, she loves her some high school sports! He came and got her after the tail gate to enjoy the rest of the game.
I think they got home around 11 that night. Saturday we puttered around the house and RESTED from our crazy week.
Emery was worn slap out this weekend. Yesterday and today she fell asleep on the couch twice. As in twice in one day! That never ever happens.
Today I am finally feeling better. My throat is slowly healing. The pain in my throat has been definitely worse than both my C sections.
Thankfully and most importantly my nausea and stomach issues are gone! Which was the point of the surgery in the first place.
Well, if you are still with me here I consider you a dear friend! ha! I know that was a ton to read.
I have so many blog post floating around in my head. Maybe now I can start to get back on track with the fun post. Post about shoes and recipes and my crazy daughter. :)
