Today I had ventral hernia repair surgery. I was scared. I don't much like being in a hospital ...maybe because of all the horror stories one hears about the things that go wrong. As I was wheeled out of pre-surgery, kissed Doug goodbye, I fought to hold back my tears of fear. But I had a great crew today taking care of me and turns out one of the ER nurses had been to one of our Harvest Parties several years ago (we know her dad). With that connection made, I felt a little more comfortable and out went the lights. Next thing I know, I am staring at the ceiling into hospital lights, post-surgery. I thanked God, the Universe, everyone, for this moment. I was awake, I felt o.k., and I was going to see my precious little boys again. My Mom was in moments later, and I teared up, so comforted by seeing her.
Now a stack of books and magazines, started and long-neglected, will keep me company today and tomorrow (my awesome parents who agreed to keep the boys Friday also). And while I am very dedicated to my Tracy Anderson Method workouts, I am glad to have a break, truth be told. I have put my workout subscription on hold as I won't be able to complete the intense muscular structure workouts for 6 weeks. So I will have to do other things. I also will not be doing any of my normal dairy work for a while. I will not miss bottling milk so much but I do miss the chickens. The cows are now on grass and in the fields by our house, so I can go see them, which will comfort me.
