Today was my one week post-op appointment after my surgery last week. I am still having some pain (okay...quite a bit at times!) and swallowing is not always easy, but for the most part I am starting to feel more like my old self. The Dr.'s PA checked me all out and said that I would remain swollen above the incision for at least a week or two more. He said it looked like it was healing well and I told him that it is starting to itch more each day! He said that I should be able to return to work as planned on the 15th. Of course, he said that I will have to see my regular physician and be checked to see if I will have to start taking thyroid medication. I am hoping that my remaining half will start working so that I will not need to add anymore medications to my drug list!
The Sunday before my surgery our friends, Becky, Sophie & Gary, brought their Chinese beauties (Cami and Zia Joy) over to our house for a belated Easter get together. Sophie is a arts & crafts/cooking diva in my books. The lady can cook! And she brought a real neat craft for the girls to work on. My older girls really love to do craft things and we really had fun using tissue paper pieces, plastic eggs, brushes and Modge Podge to create beautiful decorated eggs.
Then after a several "Ring-a-round-the-rosy" dances with the little girls, we ate some fantastic Mexican casserole that Sophie prepared along with chips and many different salsas to try that Becky brought. Then as I said, Sophie grabbed her "Rescue Pack" and came to my rescue by bringing Yummy chocolate cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting for my birthday princess, Kendalan. (Thanks again so much Sophie!) I think Sophie knew that she was going to be a big help to me because the leftover casserole was wonderful to have for my family to heat and eat the next day since I was still in the hospital!
ZoraLin made a new friend and we tried to get all the princesses to sit still for one good photo op. Aren't they all beautiful?!! Of course, my girls were starting to get tired of the sitting still for photos idea!
These two families have been such great friends since we moved here. We enjoy spending time with them and their adorable kiddos and we hope to spend much more time together and get to watch these two princesses grow up! The Mama's and the babies are so pretty! And the Baba isn't too bad himself!

Well, to be funny about it...your throat reminds me of that game you play with your chins.....
Have you ever seen that? You lay on a bed with your head hanging down & then cover all but your mouth & chin. You draw a face, making your chin the head & your mouth is still...well, the mouth.
It's pretty comical. Glad you are feeling better.
