Goofy Shawn

As everyone can tell we had a blast! Shawn kept us all laughing the whole time. As always loved making his faces, even in the pictures. They would not have depicted the real us if he hadn't.

I'm Home I'm home

So I got home wed. They had to keep me an extra day due to my lungs collapsing and the meds they gave me made me really sick. Throwing up and having a cut open throat do not mix very well. My lungs are getting stronger everyday. I have also decided that pain meds are not for me. While I was in the hospital the nurse came in every hour to give me my shot of dilated (spelling?) its a strong pain med. I did not like the feeling of being druged to the point i was not awake most of the day. Dont get me wrong i was in a ton of pain but there are other ways to over come that.

On a better note:
Shawn being the man he is visited me every single day.
Friday: After Shawn left from visiting me my mom said she was going to the store. I decided that I should go with her and practice walking and being around people. Bad idea. I was stared at and one lady even said "I cant believe she did that to herself." I hate that I live in a world of judgemental people. I was walking slower then normal and one lady cut arond and then cut infront of me and stopped. I was feeling really weak and very uncomfortable. So we finished geting the stuff I needed for the week and went home.

Saturday:
Shawn and I went to my aunts house and we went over house stuff. We left and went back to Shawns and I rested for a few hours being startled awake and having a coughing attack. But it got better. Shawn,Scotty, Christie and I went to dinner at a new italian place by my house for dinner. Our hostest decided to put us at a table in the middle of other tables. It was a bit uncomfortable, I thought people were going to run into me or something. The food not great, I love olive garden way better. But it was a good night and I was glad to be out and feeling better.

Sunday:
My goal today was to bare my testimony so that I could try to walk up the stairs to the mic. I didnt fall!!! We stayed all three hours and even for break the fast. I'm in a lot of pain but with prayer and faith that the Lord will bring me many great blessings for attending church even in the pain I'm in I had to stay. I'm so thankful to be here and thankful for everyone that is helping me recover!

The day of surgery

So on the day of surgery Mom, Marian and I drove to the hospital. We got there early, i hate being late! My surgery was scheduled for 12 and I had to be there at 9:30. I felt like I had to sit around forever. Finally after having to pee in a cup... pregency test.... hahahah told them it was not necessary! They finally took me to the "pre-op" room where the drug man comes in and puts my IV in and he did an amazing job. I have hard veins to find and usually they have to dig. This man was so good. Then the surgon comes in and talked to me and made sure I know what I was there for.

I then called Shawn knowing that my time was coming very soon. I told him that I loved him and that I'd love to see him as soon as I was done. All that while I was crying. As soon as I hung up they took me. Mom was crying and it was crazy. I remember being wheeled down the cold white halls passing OR-3 OR-7 OR-13 and then they put me in OR-18. There were two men in there joking and laughing as I was coming in and a nurse opening the surgical pacs. Then it was lights out for me, I dont remember a thing after that.

I dont even remember wakingup in recovery or anything. I dont remember the surgon asking me to talk to make sure he had not cut my vocal cords. The only thing I remember is waking up in my room and seeing mom and marian walk in. Right behind them was SHAWN!!! Just how I wanted it. The only thing I remember from the rest of that day was shawn sat by my bed side holding my hand for hours.

to be cont.....
