One Month!!!

Just to think it was one month ago today that I was just waking up from surgery with a new kidney in my body.  Laying in a hospital bed in pain and trying to recover.  Had my staples out- funny story but not to post-  just know I had to drink wine to calm my anxiety before so you can imagine how I was in the Doctors office.  At least Sara and Mom were there to watch...LOL.

This month how times have changed.  Thursday was the last day of school at 12:45PM and we went to a pool party after which many screaming kids.  It was the girls best friends bday party.  So much fun and we stayed until 8pm and then the girls had their friends spend the night.  Didn't finish the night until 1:00AM so it was a very long day but a lot of fun.

Friday the girls got ready to go to Wisconsin to see Deacon's family and Friday Night I went with Mom to the Summerlin Room and did a little gambling.  I never gamble so it was fun to just get out and spend some time.  Then I met Rumi at Hooters on the Patio- it was such a lovely night we sat until there probably a lot later then we should have.

5:00AM Saturday Morning drove Deacon and the Girls to the Airport- boy was I tired!!!  But had to work a bit and get ready for Saturday night and Rumi's Birthday Dinner.  Took her to Mon Ami Gabi- once again on the patio we had so much fun.  Nice Wine and dinner and the weather was just perfect.  After we went to meet friends at Blue Martini- (Not my favorite FYI)  and then went to Yardhouse once again to the wee hours of the morning.  But we were out on the patio with friends and something about the wonderful weather makes you want to enjoy the cool night air and not sleep.

Sunday morning we got up- way too early!!  Rumi and myself went to meet the girls at the M Pool which was a lot of fun.  Although I had to SPF with 100- kinda funny and not soak in the sun it was still really nice.
My scar shows a bit in my bikini- but not shocking so I can handle this.  Stayed all day and then went to Hot and Juicy for Dinner- so much fun- our table was such a mess.  Who would have thought 8 girls could make such a mess.

So as I sit back and reflect on my weekend and how tired I am I realize how thankful I am to have my life back.  I am probably going a bit crazy with being busy and making plans but the girls are gone until next weekend and in 9 years I have never had time without them so I am really enjoying the ME time.

Busy week of work and still sorting through the Doctors bills and insurance and forms but it is a project I want to have done this week.  I haven't even checked the mail this weekend because I just wanted 3 days without having to go through all the medical stuff and just ignore it.  I am still going to stay active all week and enjoy my time.  I am also going to start getting in shape again- although I cant exercise in my stomach I can start to try and tone the rest of my body.  I can only say having anemia severely for a year has eaten away at a lot of my muscle and I need to regain my shape.

Tomorrow I see my kidney doctor and get my first refill on my prescriptions.  I am curious to see how much this is gonna set me back :)  Hope my numbers are still good and the kidney is working well!!
