Slowly But Surely

I have been lacking in my updates here but for good reason! I had my surgery almost 5 weeks ago and have since been to the E.R. and admitted back into the hospital twice since then due to surgery complications. Whoooo boy! I am in some pain but I am feeling better these days.
I am still not able to pick my son up or lift much of anything but I'm back to the basic household duties.

I have so many ideas in the works and I'm raring to get going on them but I just don't know where I will find the time.
The web design company that my husband and I operate has been quite successful lately and I devote a lot of time to maintaining our business. We are a small operation and we don't really advertise, we work mainly on word of mouth. But I have designed business cards, letterhead, brochures and postcards to take us to the next level. It has all paid off and we landed a large contract that we just finished up.
Yearly invoices, monthly maintenance, bookeeping and account managing really takes up a large portion of my time.

I'm wondering if my other projects will come to fruition and how I will find the time.

I've gotta tell ya, time may not always be on my side but I'm so happy to be a wife and mama. I'm busier now than I ever was when I worked outside the home. I'm busier and happier

Home Briefly

I made it through my surgery, the surgery itself went very well but my healing has been slightly difficult thus far. It is currently almost 4 in the morning and I've been up for almost 2 hours. Sleeping at night is difficult and I can only sleep in one position on my back which is terribly uncomfortable. Most nights I cannot sleep but in two hour increments.

I came home 3 days after my surgery only to end up back in the ER 4 hours later with severe abdominal pain. After a series of tests and another 5 days in the hospital the doctors still don't know what happened to cause such pain. The only thing they could find was that my livery enzymes and white blood cell count were elevated.

I am so happy to be home but I'm leaving on Monday to finish out my healing with my in-laws who have been caring for my son. I cannot lift my son for the next month or so. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone but for a week at least.

I cannot wait to get back to caring for my family and home!
