LUMBAR LAMINECTOMY!


Well you have guessed it folks I am going back under the knife. What two surgeries in only three months! Oh yes it is true. I had my appointment on Wednesday and my doctor said that it was either surgery on Cortisone shots in my spine every so often. To which I thought for mmm a second and said no thank you. I have heard those things are horrible absolutely horrible. But anyways I really like my surgeon. I think he knows what he is talking about and doing. He is very nice and is totally willing to explain everything over and over if I want him to. He even said that he has had people back out of this as he was wheeling them into surgery so he said I am not locked in but my only other option is those shots. So anyways the end of this month I am headed in. I am very scared and nervous. But at the same time the thought of having relief from this pain I have been in for the past oh 3 months makes me very excited. Not being able to sit, stand, or lay in a comfortable position without pain shooting through my leg has been very annoying. Also as soon as I finish with this surgery my goal is to switch family doctors because mine has been an absolute nightmare and then try to avoid needing to go to the doctor for a while. I have had my fill. Before my gallbladder the only time I really went to the doctor was with baby related stuff. You kind of need them when you are prego! So I guess just keep me in your thoughts and prayers at the end of the month. I will only have to be in the hospital for few days but then for the two to three weeks after that I can not lift anything at all. Which really stinks with two cutie little boys. But I am trying to be as organized as possible. I am already setting up schedules and lists things like that. Hopefully everything will work out ok. I guess I have three weeks to back out if I want . But we will see what happens.

I have a confession to make. I figured that you, in your COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT way :) would not tell Sis. Decker about your dilemma. So I did. So anyway, you'll have help. Don't be mad. :) I'll call you bc I have some ideas. Please tell me G-man is going to be in the hospital w/ you. That will mean you need someone for a couple complete days, right? I'll call you.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
