Back to normal, hopefully!

I have been really sick for the last 2 weeks. I was tired, weak, dizzy and had a pulse of 30-40. Long story short, I ended up having surgery for my heart issue. I spent a week in the hospital trying to figure out the best plan to get me better. I am so glad that I went through with the surgery to fix my slow heart rate.

I was quite chatty during the procedure. I remember that I kept lifting my head up and trying to see what the doctor was doing! I was told to lay down and to hold still because sitting up would cause me to bleed- the dr was in a main artery in my leg. They gave me 5x the amount of medication usually needed to sedate someone my size and I was finally out! I vaguely remember waking up in recovery and telling my sister that she sucks at life... oops! The nurses told me the next day that I was funny and that they couldn't believe I said that to my sister! I really am thankful that my sister drove 200 miles in all to sit at the hospital with me. Just for the record- she doesn't suck at life!

Also, I just wanted to point out that Mike is a saint. He has been at home with my kids for 9 days in a row, without any help. He even said that it was a "low stress job"... I disagree. I am grateful that he has been so great and hasn't complained once! My boys and I are very lucky that Mike was there to take care of them while I was so sick!

I hope that this is the last time I'll have to have heart issues. So far, my heart is beating perfectly and everything is back to normal! Well, I can't lift my kids for 1 or 2 weeks, but besides that everything is back to normal!

First off, you don't really have a heart, so I'm still unsure of how you had heart surgery. Secondly, I am still offended by your hurtful words. I'm a gentle soul after all. The only thing that will make me feel better is pink frosted cookies. And lots of them.
