temporaily out of service

...four weeks ago a long time dream of mine came true and i have been forever changed. while out to dinner the other night, i spilled some salsa on my lap. to the average person this would not be a big deal but for me it was a first. i had a breast reduction, and today is the first day that i would say "good" if you asked me, "how are you?". anyone who knows me, knows how hard it is for me to sit still and not be able to take care of my family. my family has really taken care of me this past month. my sweet husband has been amazing; he listens to me cry out in pain, he cleans my wounds, he cooks, cleans house, he is a great father and never complains about doing all of this while starting construction on his first house. he is the definition of love. my mother-in-law moved to prescott the week before my surgery. she is a blessing to our family-she was here from morning till night several days when andy had to be at the jobsite. she drove the kids to drama club, soccer, the park, etc. my sister, jen, and family came to spend the weekend with us. the dads took the kids fishing and jenny, selflessly, spent her days off work cleaning my house and loving my kids. my children have been worried and yet helpful to me. my recovery has been more difficult than i expected but the results far outweigh the pain. today will be my first day behind the wheel again and back in our normal routine of life.
