End of Summer

I can't believe we are here already. Summer break ends today. The kids are ready for school, even if they won't admit it. 

The boys used their money from SDCC to buy a Nintendo Switch. Not bad for a weekends work. I have to say the switch has been fun; Mario is the best game.

 Emery and Jacks played hide and seek the other day. I tried to hide Jacks, but he isn't quite so it didn't work. 

I had surgery this past week. My left pinky and ring finger have been hurting and going numb. It's been happening for a while but did not think much about it until I started days when another nurse told me about why she had surgery All of her symptoms I had. I sent in to the doctor she suggested. He had me do  a few things, which took pain away but not the numbing. After a little wait, I had surgery. I was nervous to be put fully out and for the nerve block. Neither ended up being too bad. Versed is an amazing medicine. It was weird watch them on an ultrasound put the needle in and numb the whole arm. I couldn't move it for about 24 hours. A fully dead arm is hard to deal with. I forgot a few times and it just hit random things. You don't know how much you use both hands until you can't. If you know me you know I don't relax well. That has finally bit me in the butt. I wanted to do easy things with  the kids since I was working all summer. We made suckers, played boards games all afternoon and had a snack and TV show binge. We started Regular Show over and made lunch and snacks to have while we watched TV.  In between our projects, I slept a ton. The pain meds make me really tired, foggy and numb, which I hate. I was not very smart yesterday though. We went to Boise to shop for school and I thought I should be over needing pain meds. Boy I was wrong and felt it when we got home. 

I had a sweet bruise or something on my arm after surgery. It didn't hurt, just looked bad. 

 I can't pour with 2 hands, let alone one.

I remember bits and pieces from surgery. When I was taken back I got really nervous. They said they were going to give me meds so I relax. They put an oxygen mask on, which I'm claustrophobic with things like that, so I was glad the meds kicked it. The nurse took the mask off for a second and the CRNA asked if I had a beach picked out to go to. I said I don't like sand and then I was back in my pre op room saying my throat hurt. I don't remember asking for a popsicle, but I got 2! The only videos Brad took were these, and trust me a popsicle is very hard to eat. I remember looking at it and it was close but then I couldn't taste it. I'm guessing that's what I'm doing with my tongue.
