Yes, Ben had an extremely successful surgery this morning and we were home just a little after noon.  He was on pain meds, and wanted to do too much as his sister was here, but he seemed to do it all without consequence.

By bedtime, he was far more tired and far more grouchy too.  But we  stocked up on ice cream and such for “fake Thanksgiving” tomorrow, so we assumed things would just be okay.

Of course MY spiking a fever has been an unexpected and unwelcomed surprise.  I immediately distanced myself from him, and am now in bed in sweats and all as I already have the chills going on.  It totally sucks, I assure you.  But in life, it is what it is…..I will deal with it the bet I can and I have Amanda and Steph to step up and make it work.

But for now I am thankful AND I feel like hell.  I am holding onto the good, and I am praying that the bad does not overtake me.

Ben is on his way to better health……me,…….not so much.  But the big point is to be beyond surgery and get HIS problems resolved…..and that is what we did!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
