the weekend

it's been pretty low-key at the polewski household this weekend. i've been really tired, and pretty sore, so we haven't done much. kj and i went to the farmers market yesterday morning, and last night we did go over to julie and joel's for a little bit, so that was nice :) and we went to church this morning, so i haven't been a *complete* hermit.

there's not much new to report... i have a doctor's appt tomorrow with my plastic surgeon. i'm hoping to get rid of the drain on my right side. i don't think they'll be able to take the drain out of the infected side, yet because there's still a lot of action going on over there. i think when the drains are gone i'll feel a lot better. at least that's my hope. it's really annoying having to shower with them around my neck, and empty them twice each day, and strip them constantly so they don't get clogged. plus they're just gross to look at/think about.

the girls were with my dad and jill this weekend, after spending the week with my mom. they're on their way home right now. i'm excited to see them. but i feel bad, because i really can't do anything but look at them. i can't really play with them, and i can't get izzy in or out of anything. plus the drugs are making me soooooooooooo tired. i don't have the energy to do anything with them. ugh. but i'll be glad to see their smiling faces and get hugs :) and maybe we'll be able to take a walk after dinner.

this week my mom will be doing the nannying thing again. here's hoping it goes better this week (this was also the plan for last week, but i ended up in the hospital instead)! she'll come over in the morning and leave when kj gets home from work. symma has a birthday party to go to on friday, but other than that and a couple of doctor's appts there's not too much on the schedule. i think my mom has a playdate planned for symma on one of the days... and i feel like mom and lindz are taking the girls on a field trip on wednesday somewhere, but i don't remember where...

thanks so much to my visitors- in the hospital and at home :) it's good to see everyone from the outside world! and once again, thanks to amy and lindz for taking care of me in the hospital- and gil, too :) i don't know what i would do without such an amazing circle of people helping us out all of the time. though i must say, i can't wait until i don't need the help anymore!

i've gotten so many nice cards and letters. i really do appreciate them. i have also gotten some very nice gift cards from peggy and mike, and darin and melissa, and julie and joel... thanks so much!!

let's hope i get at least one drain out tomorrow afternoon. keep your fingers crossed :)
