so many classic picture opportunities.... so sad I didn't have the camera.

Ok folks, I've asked you to use your imaginations before and now I must call upon you again to use those beautiful imaginations one more time:

1. Me walking around Harmons last night in scrunched up to my knees sweat pants, with a lovely catheter hanging at my side, mumbling to Adam and Tristan like " wow, that is an amazing product, we better get it" about things like mini automatic wisks and neo-to-go, etc-.

2. The millions of times I have forgotten that I have a catheter in and have it hooked to a non moving object as I get up and move really fast only to be reminded, in the most painful and humiliating ways, that I still must carry my urine around on my leg.

3. The dinner of redvines, mini snickers, swedish fish and peanut butter m-n-m's tossed together in one of the largest bowls we have in our house, that I ate while watching a TLC show about women who didn't know they where pregnant until they had the baby. Man, Adam said I was really upset about the show, and he had to turn it off and pry my candy away from me like I was a kid.

4. Tristan can crawl EVERYWHERE now. He even goes up stairs. He pulls himself into standing positions whenever possible, especially when he sees mommies special bag with the yellow stuff in it.

5. Tristan found a red peanut butter m-n-m this morning on the floor and we didn't notice until it was too late. New thing I learned from this: if they are being too quiet, they are doing something you don't want them to be doing. But, he looked SO DAMN CUTE covered in all the red from the candy. Ahhhhhhhh I love that boy!

6. Sam, our cat, has decided that he will now be an outside cat. Adam is allowing it. I will NOT let my cat (Frodo) go outside un-attended. When Sam gets done with whatever he was doing outside he honestly scratches on the front door, asking to be let back in.

7. Apparently, I woke in the night and went around the house looking for Sam, Adam was following me around, absolutely worried that I had gone nuts. I found Sam curled up on a blanket near the front door. I then told Adam to go to bed and I would take care of Sam for him. Then I stayed up until 3:45 AM holding the cat. That has got to be one of the weirdest things I have ever done!

Okay, now that you have imagined so many lovely pictures that coulda, woulda, shoulda I will give you an update on how we are all doing, post surgery:

I found out yesterday that the GYN did not do anything inside me that would prevent me from having another child, but that chances are we will not be able to due to anatomical things. I have to go to the Urologist tomorrow and remove my catheter. (I'm kinda sad about that, I absolutely love peeing wherever and whenever I please.) He will see if he can fix my bladder/urethra issues. I still have a lot of things to do post surgery to prevent the Endo from coming back. The doc said there were some parts that he just could not remove. Lupron is our best bet, then be on the pill continuously, no sugar pills. (that means NO periods) If those things don't work for me, then I will have a total hysterectomy.

Believe it or not, I am pretty happy today. I got to feed Tristan, carry him on my shoulders, sleep in, my cars A/C is getting fixed for free and I have an excuse to wear hideous and comfortable clothes for a few more days. I honestly feel better than before the surgery, besides the swelling and the incision sites. Happy Happy Joy Joy
