An Update

I just want to thank those of you that expressed kind thoughts and prayed for me during my recent knee surgery. Slowly, but surely, life is returning to normal. I do not recommend knee surgery when you have a 1 & 3 year old but my family was absolutely wonderful about helping me.

I wrote up several posts before surgery so that I would not have to write while on painkillers. Sitting at the computer has been difficult since my knee had to be elevated. Thankfully, the laptop we are purchasing from a relative arrived last night so I can blog from the couch or even bed!! I'm very excited to be mobile!!

In the next few days, I will catch up on all of my e-mails those of you have sent me. I will also get back to writing posts.

One funny story about my surgery, of course, involves Tyler's peanut allergy. Now that he is nearly 4, he understood that I was going to the hospital and the doctor was doing something involving my knee. When I got home, he asked if I got shots. I told him I had. (Actually, they gave me a shot to numb the area they were giving me the IV...why don't they always do this?!?!) Then, he asked me if I had eaten peanuts. I realized his one hospital experience was for eating peanuts. I tried explaining my situation but it was no use. He became convinced for the first couple of days that I had eaten peanuts.

In the end, I decided it wasn't worth correcting him. I want him to fear eating peanuts and know the consequences if he does. In his little mind, I wonder how my knee works into the whole equation. Who knows!

Thanks again for your kind thoughts and prayers. Soon, I will be back to my regular blogging self!!
