Recovery

     I am brought to my room and I have a VERY cute male nurse :) lol that works..... later I get 2 more cute male nurses.... I thank my guardian Angel ha ha ha....  I am still a little foggy the nurse tells me I can have some Ice chips ( this is day 9 of no food and he tells me I can have one and a half cups of ice that is it)  I joke with him that's fine if its over fruit punch.  My family come in the room and I just want to hold their hands and connect with each of them.  I love them so so much!  I am seeing double and I tell my sister Jana " It's a good thing your pretty cuz I can see 2 of you"  Clint and his Family bring me flowers I love them! I am so happy, as strange as that sounds, with everything I am going through and facing, my family and friends and clients show me so much love and support that I am so blessed and happy and strengthened.   The flowers are the 1st of many and I love and appreciate each one that I get.  Dana & Carrie come have lunch with me everyday and I have so many visitors each day.  All of my little nieces and nephews make me get well cards. they bring so much joy to me.   Tony doesn't leave my side the whole time.   The nurses tell me how good the room smells from the flowers and comment on how many visitors I have.  I am so blessed
     I have a few complications,  the epideral is in too far and my legs are completely numb.  I am not able to get out of bed like I'm supposed to.  I have very sharp pains in my bladder.  They have to remove the epideral, they are concerned that I may leak spinal fluid so I have to lie flat while, but thank goodness that doesn't happen.  It took a couple days to figure out the pain meds because I am super sensitive to them.  They want me up for 4 to 6 hours a day which I am determined to do and I do it most days,  but the recovery is harder than I ever thought it would be,  and the pain is intense ,  but as soon as I can feel my legs and I can walk I get up from that point on with no help :)
