Pre "S" Day

Leading up to “S” Day

So “S” Day was Friday 3/16/2012 (Surgery Day).  Sorry I’m just now updating my blog, it’s been an interesting couple of days.  First let me start with the week leading up to the ACI, I was a basket case and felt paralyzed with fear of the unknown.  You can read all about the ACI surgery and never truly feel like you have a handle on the events to come.  Now I’ve never been pregnant, but some of my friends said what I was feeling was very similar to nesting.  The need for my house to be very clean and organized was very strong before my surgery.  To the rescue was my mom, mother in law and great friend who came over and helped me clean my house.  Praise the Lord for them, because it helped me get things right in my head before my S Day.  So for all you future ACI patients…clean your house ASAP!  And for everyone else, clean your house anyways!!  Also I have no words to describe how amazing my husband has been through this whole ordeal, so patience and calm.  This is exactly what I need because under stress I’ve been known to be bit high strung. 

Just to update you on my bathroom business (because I know you were dying from anticipation), my MIL (Mother in Law) ended up buying all the riser supplies that were mentioned in the previous post.  I am very grateful for her and her ability to buy those items with pride.  She also bought me the best thing an ACI patient could get, the almighty “LEG LIFTER” (insert chorus of angels singing). I’ll elaborate more on this amazing invention later.
