Feeling a little better

Yesterday was my birthday. I turned 28. I can't believe I am almost 30. I had a lot of phone calls and text messages from friends and family wishing me a happy birthday. A few people came by. My mom came and stayed the afternoon with me and Colin. She brought me a cheesecake which was delicious. My mother-in-law came around 6 and took Colin to her house for a while to play and my good friend Deanne from work came by with supper, balloons and sweets from stroussners. I was in a lot of pain yesterday. I called Chris several times crying asking him if this surgery was the right thing to do. I hate having to take so much pain medicine and on top of that I can't do anything for Colin. I feel useless. Chris has been working major overtime at work and is exhausted. I feel so bad for him that he isn't getting any rest. On top of all of this, my brother is going through a really hard time right now. He isn't himself and I'm worried about him. Please keep him on your prayer list. Today has been a little better with the pain. I do feel nauseated today though. My friend Candi came over and stayed when Chris went to work. She is such a good friend to me and Colin adores her. She played with Colin in the floor for hours...he was on cloud nine. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful and commited husband, a calm and patient one year old, caring and willing family, and amazing friends that would do anything for me.
