I'm still chugging along trying to get through this first week at home, I
have to keep telling myself to just relax, that the first week is
always so so hard, that it really is the worst, so I don't try
and over do things.
A lot of just laying down and sleeping.
Mindy was here almost all day long, she did a really great job cleaning my house, it looks wicked nice and clean in here, the teens better keep it this way. LOL
Then she went home and came back with some big huge pans of food.
Her husband Chris made dinner for us, some chicken alfredo, bread sticks, and salad.
It was all so yummy.
He used to work at the Olive Garden, it's their alfredo recipe, so yeah, it's super yummy.
When Chris was here this morning, he took a look at my AC unit, and he's going to come back and fix it for me next weekend.
Box it in to the right size for the AC, clean it up, get it working right again.
It's simply not blowing as cold as it used to, it's not sitting in the housing correctly, and the leaking is because of all of those things plus all box units leak when it gets super humid.
So it will be wicked nice to have it fixed and cool in the house again.
I have a ton of emails and comments in my inbox that I just don't know when I'll be able to get to, if I'll be able to get to them at all, but I wanted you to all know that I have read them and appreciate all of the support and words of encouragement, it's really appreciated.
I did spend the majority of the day laying down and resting, I even slept for awhile, and that is my plan of attack.
My face is still wicked swollen up which makes me feel weird and stuff.
I know the swelling will go down, it's just a matter of time.
For now though, I feel like I either got beat with a baseball bat, or I am a balloon.
People keep telling me it doesn't look so bad, but I've seen my face in the mirror, I know what it looks like.
Doc said it will be ok, it will heal up, but for awhile it's gonna look like total crap.
Ok, time to get back to my couch, watch a little Law and Order repeats and stuff.
Later days.

I will do my best to come over once a week and give it a wipe down. You shouldn't be touching a thing! I still need to vaccuum your family room. You looked so relaxed and peaceful while you slept that I didn't want to take that away from you. I told Chris what you said and he's all smiles! Don't compliment him too much though because I have to live with his big head!
LOL! But it was really super awesome good!
We've been eating fast food take out since Tuesday, subs, pizza, wings, pasta from pizza hut etc, so a home cooked meal was just so good to have, thank you guys so much.
I'm just so tired, that's to be expected, I know this so I'm really trying to just keep still.
I also wasn't feeling great today, my face felt more swelled than it did even yesterday, and it felt sorta warm too.
I'm going to mention it to the nurse when she comes tomorrow morning.
Kat:
I'm so glad that you are back. I've missed reading your daily posts and I wish you a safe and speedy recovery. I just read Mindy's blog and was bawling my eyes out, I had no idea you'd gone thru all of that. I made a donation, it isn't much, but I'm sure every little bit helps.
Take care.
