2 weeks and 3 days since surgery

I am doing a lot better now but I am worried about the way I was stapled on my stomach. I just doesn't look right. If it doesn't look right by the time I go back in 6 months I am going to ask him what he is gonna do about it. If this was you would you want it to look right? I is abnormal looking and makes me look like I have a gut. Yuck!! I admit that I am not fit but come on. I am a little over weight for my height and bone structure. I am 42 though. I know that is no excuse but I guess it is if you are disabled like me. The Peripheral Neuropathy has been acting up ever since I got home from having surgery. I think it is just because I have been in bed so much. The first week after surgery I was suppose to take 1 to 3 naps a day. Well I didn't take any and I think it has finally caught up to me. I slept a lot yesterday. I have another question. I had a major surgery with 1 cut on my abdomin that is 5" long going vertical and another that is 3" long horizontally. Should I be able to do laundry or dishes? Well I think my family thinks that I am wonder woman. I am still very sore and they think I should be able to help out. I admit that I can fold some clothes but I can't lift the laundry basket. It hurts to bend down and we have the kind of dishwasher that has 2 drawers. You have to bend way over to get dishes out and put them in. I do love my dishwasher though. It is one of the things I got to pick out when we built our house. I picked out the Kitchen Aid dishwasher. I love it!!

I do have a wonderful family though. Jimmy has been doing so much lately. He cooks dinner, washes clothes does dishes, mows our 10 acres and tends to me when I am sick. I have to admit that I have a wonderful husband. He works very hard for our family. He never takes vacation days anymore. I am gonna insist very soon that he take some days off because it is not good for anyone to get stressed out. A little stress is normal but I know he has to feel overwhelmed with everything he has had to do lately. London does help out but she has been gone on a youth trip for a week. She is coming home today. Yeah!! I have missed my baby girl. I know she is 17 but she is still my baby girl. I am so proud of my son. He is going to AUM and studying to be a nurse. He just got a job with Baptist Medical Center in the ER. I am so happy for him because for one thing it is extremely hard to get on with them and he wants to be an ER nurse so this job has put him right where he will need to be when he graduates. Nursing school is really hard these days. I have to admit that he is smarter than me to be able to learn everything he has already learned. He will talk to me in medical terms and I will just look at him and say "I didn't understand a word you said." haha!!!

I have way too many medical problems right now but I hope that one day I can go back to work and just do a job that is easy to me like being a part-time bank teller. I was a bank teller when I started working in banking at the age of 18. I loved it. Years later I was working as a Customer Sales Representative but I was more like an Assistant Branch Manager. If we were short a teller then I would fill in and do my own job. If the Head teller was out then I did her job plus ran a teller window and did my own job. When the Branch Manager was out then I was Acting Branch Manager. I did more than my fair share of work but I have to admit that it was worth it to have the office I had. I had a corner office with windows all around me. It was really nice. I miss those days when I worked my butt off. I was always very busy but loved it. Now for the biggie! I was robbed twice within 3 months. It was scary but I did good. I remained calm. The first time it was 2 white guys with sun glasses on. They had robbed before. No question about that. The second time was a black man and he was on drugs. It was obvious. I got a little cocky this time and when he asked for all my money I gave him ONLY the bait money. It was only about $300.00. He yelled at me and cussed at me but I told him that was all I had. He got frustrated an left but as he was going out the door he told me he was gonna come back and kill me. I knew he would never be back so I was not frieghtend. I don't know why but I handled both robberies really well and didn't have any problems afterward. The FBI asked me if I was wearing a sign that said "Rob Me" because I was the one robbed twice in 3 months. But after that my good friend Ashley that worked in the branch too got robbed. That was only about 3 months after I got robbed the last time so our branch was robbed 3 times in months. What is the likelyhood of that happening? It was scary but we never got robbed again. I didn't think I would ever get robbed because that happens to "other people". You know how everything happens to "other people." Well we are all other people. So you really can't say "that will never happen to me". Well I have just gone on a talking spree. I am going to go now. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Sorry if I misspelled or something doesn't make since. I typed this fast and didn't proof read before posting. Off I go!!!!
