I had surgery today. When I went to the hospital to check in I felt so incredibly blessed once again. My friend Shayna, who lives in Denver, sent some ginger drops (to help with my nausea) with her mom to give to me. Her mom works in admissions and she happened to be the one to check me in. She gets up for a minute and brings back this bag for me. I was just so overwhelmed that so many people are thinking and praying for me!
Surgery went just fine today. I am not in much pain at all and I am glad for that. I felt like I knew 90% of the hospital staff that took care of me today so that was neat. It is like one big happy family. I met some new people too. One of my nurses heard my husband was a youth pastor and asked what church he was with. When I told her she got all excited and said that she and her husband were just talking about trying Grace. Again, it was so neat to see God orchestrating all of this. Maybe my personal invitation will be another reason to give Grace a try.
Another one of my nurses said she had visited Grace before and had really enjoyed it and when I was leaving she said she might stop back by again. She also said she would be praying for me. :-) God is so good!
I had told Jason a few days back that I felt like God was placing so many new people in my life to share God's love with and today was no exception.
There have been so many funny things that have happened lately, I have been forgetting to share. Here are a few:
1.) I took each of the little boys in with me to my doctor's appointments yesterday, one on the way and one leaving, so that they could see where mom was going when she had her appointments. Basically so they would know that I was in good hands and that they didn't need to be scared. Well, they have a water machine there and Creide wanted a drink. Of course it did that bubble thing and he says, "It's going to eat me!"
2.) Today Creide comes in carrying his cat and said, "She's under arrest."
3.) After my surgery today my surgeon comes into my recovery room to check on me and he has something in his hand. I said, "Is that ice cream?" He kind of dropped his head and said, "No, it's pudding." He then goes on to say, "You weren't suppose to see that." You see, I had not had anything to eat since midnight last night and it was now 3:30pm.
4.) Creide asked me if he could have one of my Ginger Ale's. I said no because I was saving those for when my tummy was messed up. He said, "Mom, I have a dollar here with your name on it if you will give me one." He reaches in his little pocket and pulls out a dollar! It was so funny.
5.) I am in surgery today and of course I am just laying there. They must have thought I was asleep because they started talking about lunch. Of course I can't leave this one alone so I pipe up, "Are you seriously going to talk about food right now when I haven't eaten for hours."
6.) As they were preparing me for surgery I instructed them that I did not want to hear anyone say "oops" or make any references to the "five second rule" while I was in there. They said they did not have the "five second rule" in surgery only a "two second rule." That made me feel so much better.
