Bottoms Up

Besides an unfortunate side effect from the spinal anesthesia called Transient Radicular Irritation (TRI), the surgery went well. Actually I am taking the pain meds more for the anesthesia effects rather than the incision itself. I am finally feeling more like myself and the TRI is wearing off thus sitting and blogging with minimal leg pain. If that is what restless leg syndrome is like, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

The kids have been great. My little turkeys seem to know when mama is out of whack. Much like after my previous surgeries, my usually suppressed neuroses comes out. I get panicky, break out into a cold sweat and nausea and dizziness (and tears) usually follow when I get the least bit overwhelmed. A trip to the library was all I could handle yesterday. Reading prize, new books and we were out. Today I tackled laundry, but the kids and I are still in pajamas. I consider it a small improvement. Cazin and Jujube are sporting not only their reading prize, but Jujube is showing off her new big girl backpack from Lola & Lolo. We are ready for kindergarten camp AND to take advantage of the tax free shopping next weekend. All of the kids are getting so big I can hardly stand it. These days I find myself lingering in front of their baby photos. Time waits for no man...or mama.
