Not a lot new to report in the past week. Christmas was nice with all our family over, and the bonus was with so many people over I could nap when ever I wanted to (which I did 2x's/day). One thing I didn't mention before was that for the last month or so, since I've been having such trouble sleeping, I've been taking Gravol before I go to bed. I know it's not the smartest thing, but without it I have such bad insomnia that I spend 2-3 hours a night wandering our house. I thought of asking my doctor for sleeping pills, but I'm worried about how addictive they might be.
So the only other thing I think I have to report is that I had a bit of a "poor me" moment the other night. I was tucking our girls into bed and both had asked me to cuddle them for a while. Now since I am unable to lay flat, it's not really possible and I was so frustrated that this lousy thing is stopping me from being the Mom I want to be. Oh well, I just have to keep reminding myself that it's only for 1 month more. Then the irony is that I likely won't be able to do anything but lay down...at least for a while.
So the waiting continues. I did try to call Dr. Chen office today to get my surgery date, but the office is closed until January 4th.

Hi Ing,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to read all your info 1st hand.
Your so honest and straightforward:)
I've been thinking and praying for you and your family this last little while.
I pray that God may give you strength that you may make it through the 'little' moments, since those are the ones that can easily break you. Your girls are so beautiful and they are the ones that will pull you through:)
We also continue to pray for you and all your extended family for the passing of your niece and her fiance. Especially at this time, when everyone else seems to go back to their daily routine; yet for the family and friends they are constantly thinking of them.
We're sorry we missed you when you were in Owen Sound; we were on holidays in Florida at the time.
If you are ever up this way again, let us know! Also, if you ever need a place for your girls I would be more than happy to take them off of your hands for you; especially during and after your operation when you need to take care of yourself first. Don't be afraid to ask:)
Thanx for keeping us up-to-date and we wish you and yours a Blessed New Years!
Lisa (&John&kiddies)
