Cleaning Up

Today I am starting to get life back to "normal". I am putting the Christmas stuff away and then if I have time I'm going to take the tree down. This season I'm just not into it.....usually the tree and decorations are up the day after Thanksgiving and not taken down till Jan 2nd, but not this year. I got the stockings and (thanks to Avrianna and my aunt) the tree up this year just in the nick of time and I'm already looking forward to taking it down. Don't get me wrong this Christmas was awesome with not having to go ANYWHERE, just hanging out with Dan and the kids, and playing with all the toys (it was so great I do believe it's going to be a new tradition around here, sorry famiy). But my mind set really wasn't into the Holiday in general. I had a bunch of munchie food ready so when people stopped by then I was ready for some entertaining. Most everyone stopped by to see the kids and say their Merry Christmas's so that was great. We just didn't go from place to place seeing the same people over and over....they came to us. We had our first Wii party last night with my sister's family...it was GREAT! Fun times had by all. I am so soar now though I've used muscles that I forgot I had. We got the Wii Fit too so I've been doing Yoga, balance games, and Aerobics so that should help in me getting back in shape (at home instead of having to go out). Boy was that a sock to the system.....she (wii) is so brutal.....I'm overweight and not really good at the training yet and she lets you know it....even makes your lil Mii person fat too, LOL. I'm so mad at her it is giving me the incentive to Kick it's BUTT, heehee. I would hate to see what she would have said a month and 10lbs ago...she probably would have just bursting out laughing when I got on it.
Danny is doing better but still requires his pain meds. Yesterday he had another blow out for me, LOL. So I am praying that this incision doesn't get infected. I swear the more I try to keep it clean the more HE thinks he needs to keep it dirty, what a BOY!!
Well just figured out my home phone line isn't working.....but the computer is??? That is weird but will need to call the phone company to see what the deal is. It is super duper foggy here and even raining? Only in Wisconsin can we get a record 39.7" of snow fall in December and then the last few days of December it rains. Well now Dan won't have to put the extension on the snow blower, as the snow banks were getting so tall the snow blower shoot wasn't able to get over them causing everything to hit the banks and blow right back at Dan, LOL. Alot of the snow is melting, YAY! I just hope the temp doesn't drop and this all freeze or it could get dangerous out! Take care

Birthday Boy! ~ 2nd post

Here is my Birthday boy!! He is kind of out of it today as the increase in meds have made him sleepy, but I'd rather have him comfy and recovering then crying and so rigid....especially on his Big Day. This is the most low key birthday for Danny but he seems to be enjoying!! Happy Birthday to my special lil man, Love you buddy. Next year I will make it up to you and throw the Biggest Bash everOf course Nanny came over to celebrate her lil boy's birthday and she brought Whitney and Tyler too. I was nice to see them! Thanks for the gifts ~ Danny will love wearing his t-shirts and looking at his snowman light. Nanny set him up right with bath stuff, pill crushers & splitters, warm fuzzy slippers, and a cool light board that plays with the beat of the music.

I was able to get the starry (sp?) strips off of his upper incision that runs along tummy (right under the ITB puck) over to his outer hip area...they were looking gross. The incision is looking great!! He has another incision about the same size that runs from the end of the outer hip down his thigh to about mid thigh. You can kind of see the tape under his leg. I didn't take those off as he had enough trama with the one today......He HATES tape!!!!! :(

Doesn't it look good!!!!! Yay :) I put some bacitracin ointment on it so it stays moist and has a protection barrier in the event he gets it "dirty". LOL Take care!
