On Ice... Rest in the nest!

ON ICE

not this kind

not this kind
yep....this is it!
knee surgery on 11/30
and I am NOT a stay at home girl! So I am making plans on what will occupy my time for at least 2 weeks away from my job in the Health Room at school and then light duty when I return. You see I won't be allowed to run with a wheelchair, perform CPR, blah, blah, blah. I know I've told you I love my job...so this is a set back but only temporary.
I've never had any kind of bone or joint repairs. Lucky. Blessed. Tonsils and Adenoids, 2 C- sections, Hysterectomy, 1 Kidney removed but this is more intimidating because it might keep me down! So I've planned ahead...(if pain isn't involved of course, lol) to make cards for Christmas, to donate to local places for fundraisers, to learn some simple beading techniques, watch a few dvds I have wanted to see, and not gain 89 lbs.!!!
so a pedicure is a priority while I can bend my knee
crafts have been purchased at Michael's (with many a coupon I might add)
I've made a list of dvds I would like to see (some I've seen but that never bothers me)
my Kindle is loaded
I'm ready to be as good as new.
If any of you know of someone in the military that would like to have cards sent to them,
it would be an honor to make cards and personalize them for someone special.

Feeling peaceful and blessed...

Life is good for me these days... I made it through Kidney removal surgery on 6/2 surrounded by loved ones and recovered rapidly and dashed off to Riviera Maya with family... whooeee - I love the sun and family more. Rested, healed my body and soul. Spent time with my
hubby, my sons and their girlfriends.
Learned to settle myself in prayer,
be thankful more often and say so,
laugh at the silliest moments, tell the folks I love them that I do, go the extra mile and enjoy every moment - that breeze on my face, the rustle of leaves, the "I love you Mom."....How blessed can I be?
