Ok, not really my surgery in the picture, but you get the idea!
I opted to stay awake for the surgery for my little peanut--hey, it's only 30-40 minutes, right?
I can do that--piece of cake!

Riiiight...
Well, to make a long story short, when they got in there (and after struggling to numb me),
it was much more complicated than the xrays showed and
three screws
turned into
15 screws,
a plate,
and close to two hours in the O.R.
It was not pretty and I'm so glad we went in.
Ok, not glad to have the pain, the puking, the baby worry, etc!
The recovery has been a bit tougher than I thought (seriously--you want to see emotional--it's crazy) so I'm going to lay me down...
But thank heavens for Hal who has to pretty much do everything for me
(ok, so you know how nuts that makes me to need help)
and my sister-in-law who has been my saving grace. She is actually a nurse in the surgery center so she came back during prep to help.
LOVE HER!!!

Aack! You're making me relive my hospital moment. So glad to hear you are in good spirits. Hal is awesome! Stay healthy and STAY PUT until the baby arrives. How many more weeks?
Hal is the man! I'm so glad to hear things went well! You are in our prayers.
Wow you are a brave woman! Glad to hear its over and I hope all goes well with your recovery. I actually tried calling you today having no idea of course you had already had the surgery and are recovering! I'm glad you are somehow able to keep updating your blog. We will be praying for you and your little one.
You're one tought cookie to not go under for the surgery and then have it go soooooo long. It's nice you have angels close by that can help you out, even when you don't want to need help.
Oh, Jess...
BTW, any news on whether this next one will be attending fathers sons campouts or girls camp?
