Good Morning everyone! DH surgery went very well yesterday - it was a long long day but Luci had her auto-feeder and I was even able to come back home during the procedure to check on her and have breakfast.

Modern medicine is a miracle - he's got a brand new hip and a quite an incision on his hip - but already he seems to be having less hip pain than before the replacement. Now it's just a matter of the incision pain which hopefully we can manage with pain meds, ice packs and rest.

I however have to run up and down the stairs a lot - even though I've been trying to prepare things to have upstairs to make it easier for us both - there's still so much that just needs to be done as needed - mostly delivering food and ice packs...and now I'm doing all the other stuff that he usually helps with - and Luci will hopefully behave herself today - looks like she's back in the lagoon this morning and wants to do a little more surfing...let's see how long that lasts.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes, prayers and kind thoughts! We do appreciate it :bighug::bighug:

It'll be a busy day and I've taken the day as a 'vacation day' - some people just don't know how to relax! So I'm off to get started on the long to-do list.

Have a great day everyone! I hope your kitties surf safely!
 
Glad to hear that DH's surgery went smoothly. Hoping for a speedy recovery!
Looks like you will have your hands full between DH and Luci. Are you still WFH?

Hi Sue, so happy things are going well so far. I’ve never seen you not busy but now your workload has doubled. I hope you find the time to sit back for a few moments and hopefully re-energize.:rolleyes: Prayers for Bill’s pain level to improve daily. Prayers for you that you don’t just drop from exhaustion, I would like to have even just half of your energy. Bill is lucky to have you by his side. Take care of yourself. Luci behave for you mama. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Yes, I still work from home - but I've taken a couple of vacation days this week - I'm the caretaker and coach now for DH and Luci...and I'm exhausted! He had a pretty good day until around dinner time and now he's hurting...so dinner with a side of pain meds - hopefully will allow him to get some sleep and reduce the pain. It's usually that way - a day or two after surgery is the worst. I don't think tomorrow is going to be much of a day for him.

But this is a manageable thing...we've just got to take it one day at a time...stay organized and just do what we need to do.

Thank you for your kind comments!

Thanks Adrienne, but I'm not feeling very energetic today - I think yesterday I was on some kind of adrenaline overload with all the running around and back and forth with the hospital and Luci...I was so tired last night and now again today - just trying to stay on top of what needs to be done ... I had a chance to catch a nap this afternoon ...I'm not typically a day-time napper but I was so exhausted I couldn't go another step. And of course Luci is showing us her best surfing styles today...at least she didn't do that yesterday!

Hope you all are doing well...take care and have a good evening :bighug::bighug:
 
Hugs to you Sue :bighug: I was caretaker in the spring to a family member who had surgery (toe surgery - those little toesies can cause some pain :eek:) and it was exhausting. Take some time for you too whenever you can :bighug: Hoping Luci behaves (and DH too ;)).
