here's the latest...

if there's still anyone reading this.... i've been gone a long time. it was a summer of ups and downs, doctor visits and one heated discussion with our insurance company. but after two doctors concurred that a hysterectomy would help with my back/hip/pelvic pain we decided to go for it. i had the surgery about 4 weeks ago. everything went very well. i had two great nurses in the hospital. one is a master gardener. the other has children the same ages as ours. our youngest was amazed that i could talk flowers and find fellow members of the "Mom Mafia" in my pain med induced fog. Guess i'm just amazing like that when it's something i've got a bit of passion for. :)
i am doing well... still on lifting restrictions and still get worn out fast, but i'm getting there. WONDERFUL is too mild a word to use when i think about how my hubby and son have pitched in to take up the slack and look out for me. it has been humbling!
i've been doing a few mild core exercises. now i need to work into the aerobic part of it. my goal is to
1. continue to do the core exercises each day
2. walk 20 minutes on the tread mill each day... nice and slow.

How good to hear from you!

I'm glad that your surgery went well and that recuperation is coming along too. I'm already missing the garden (although there are still things I need to do but it's so cold!)

Take care and glad you liked the scones :)

Thank you for the great comment. Sounds like you are doing well after your surgery. Keep it up and don't over do.
How wonderful to have all the help at home...you are loved!
