No Hospital today... warning-gross content

I have an infected cyst (yes it is gross) normally smaller than a pea now bigger than a £2 coin or 50cent piece, which is very very painful. I have waited for Mike to come home to have it looked at. Because the last couple of times it has flared up I have been sent to hospital to have it drained. This morning I made my doc appointment fully expect to be making my 4th trip to hospital since Markus was born, but no the doc stuck a needle in it and drained the puss and lots of it too (yes gross). Is it sad that I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to go? I was really looking forward to having a rest.

My Get up and go, got up and went....

I think knowing that Mike is home is a little over 18hrs time has meant that I can start dropping the ball. I'm tired and in Pain, I'm ready to hand it all over to Mike. He said to me on the phone that other day "you know I'll be tired when I get home"....WHAT!!! and I'm not!! I told him that well "I'm going to hospital when you get home" (yes again). It seem that the only way I can get a rest around here is to go to hospital. That will be 4 hospital stays in since Markus was born.

Home

Well I'm home!! I don't know if that is good thing, I few days in bed in hospital sound very appealing right now. I have had a lot more pain and discomfort than I thought, yesterday (thur) was a really bad day, today was better but i feel like my head is in the clouds. I'm sporting 4 little keyhole spots.

Yesterday I was explaining to Lexy what the surgeon did to me, saying that they cut into different spots to put the instruments in... And she said what kind of instruments...trombones, guitars, saxophones...it hurt to laugh at that one. She is taking after her daddy in the humour department.

I just keep reminding myself each day will get better.

A big thanks to all my helper , particularly Myra, Sheila, Liz and Andrea.

And an even bigger thanks to everyone for all the prayer!!

A Wee Break

Well tomorrow I'm off to hospital to have my gallbladder out....good riddance I say i can live without that pain. But getting ready to go has been a military operation, which is just how mike likes to operate. I'm surprised he hasn't asked for it all to be done in a power point or on a spread sheet. The hardest thing will be leaving my boy, I've only ever left Markus for 2 hrs before. But I just have to have faith in Mike that he can cope without me. Myra our pastors wife is going to have Markus for most of the day, and I know that she will cope will having had 5 kids of her own and a trained midwife, but a mother is the one who know their baby best. How they like to go to sleep, be held, what to sing, I need to let go.

Please pray for us all, that I can relax and enjoy the break, and Michael will manage it all well.

BTW... Mike will be Australia for the 24th May till the 1st June. He will be preaching at a church Brisbane yet to be confirmed on the 31st May. Just wish I could go too.
