Just checkin'' in...

I just thought I'd check in with my dear cyber family...

My parents have been here since early Tuesday... it's been a bit rough.  My mom tries really hard to be respectful of boundaries... she really does try hard to help.  Dad on the other hand drives me crazy.  He is ... well.. never mind.  I love him but sometimes he's just not very nice.

S had his surgery Thursday and is doing quite well.  He no longer has the symptoms that brought him to surgery, now he has to nurse his incision.  I am working at keeping him on pain meds regularly... I think that a person who isn't  in pain heals faster... that's what I'm going for!!  I just know that a well medicated man is way less grumpy! LOL

It's been a long hard weekend... even though we haven't really done anything... just healing the injured... cooking for the crew... laundry as needed... a little shopping to walk my ole man.  The weather has been blustery but warm, it's so nice to have to doors open and let the kids play... running in and out... putting laughter in a room where there was none prior to their entering.   Mom and I have enjoyed visiting... S kinda gimps in and out of different rooms trying to find comfort and feel included in life.  Bless his heart... he is getting better... slowly but surly!!

Yesterday we were at the farm and home store... walking the man... just browsing at guy stuff.  I got a few steps ahead of him and all of a sudden...WHAP... a sting on my behind sent wonderful shivers up my spine... I turned around and there stands my S holding a riding crop, with a huge grin on his face.  To add to the story... he was standing next to my mom!!   He had a very ornery smile on his face.... one I haven't had the privilege of seeing for quite some time.  Made me giddy!!


Anyway... I gotta go.... the crew is coming and the few minutes of down time is gone.  Pray for continued healing for S... Parents are leaving tomorrow, back to work, kids back to school... I'm ready for things to get back to normal... 

I've missed you all!!!xxx

  2. A riding crop in front of your mom - I'd say that shows excellent signs of a man well on his way to being completely healed! Good for both of you.

  4. So glad to hear S is on the mend. You didn't say and inquiring minds would like to know(ok I want to know), did you perhaps purchase the crop? Just wondering. Many prayers for continued healing coming your way.

  11. Sounds like he is indeed starting to feel better already! lol I wonder, what was the look on your mom's face? I hope S heals up quickly and well and I'm glad you're having a good visit with your parents. ;)

  12. @ Ronnie... thank you!! ((hugs))

    @ Grace... You know, mom didn't think much about it, she thought it was pretty funny! My mom has honestly lived such a sheltered life... she knew he was flirting, but didn't think anything else! LOL

  14. Very daring of him! Maybe he'll go back when he's feeling better and buy the crop as a Christmas present for you.
