Crazy two weeks

Well it has been awhile since i have been in my Blog...life can sure throw you some curves when you are not expecting it. On August 16th Kevin rushed me to the emergency room. I was having pain in my lower right side of my stomach. After hours of testing they determined my appendix was inflamed and i had to have surgery. So twenty minutes later i was under and ready to have it taken out. The surgery was a piece of cake...the recovery on the other hand is another story. My body didn't handle the medicine very well and caused dizziness and headaches that also have led to nausea. This sent me back to the hospital twice with me having chest pains and problems breathing. Not only could i not relax but the pain i was in was uncontrollable. It has been two weeks since my surgery and i am still not fully recovered but the dizziness is slowly going away and my sight is half way back. I can walk and stand up straight which is a blessing. The worst part is not being able to do anything. My kids are back in school and the house is a mess. I hate asking people for help...not one of my strong areas, even though between my friends and co workers they have all asked to help....i tell them no. I have decided i am stubborn. I guess we all go through these fazes in our life to help us figure out we are not all superwomen or men and we all just need to rest and let others help. So, besides resting my kids are back in school......Casey has started his Senior year off well. His last day of work is this Monday at the Storm Stadium...it is the last game of the season. Cassie started her Sophmore year off with tons of homework and Golf Practice every day . She is exhausted already. Gavin started his Seventh Grade year off great. He loves not being the low classman this year and thinks all the sixth graders are tiny. Of course with him being 5'7" all the kids would be small...he is following in my tall footsteps.
