Two weeks.....

So it's been exactly two weeks since my surgery... and while I've been frustrated with how slow I've been recovering and how much pain I've been in, all in all I suppose I'm doing ok at least according to my Doctor. 
I admit I'm terribly impatient, I did expect to bounce back faster than this and actually have some time off to enjoy myself and relax a bit and get some things done that need done.  But two weeks is only two weeks.... and being that we just got the pain under control I may cut myself a little slack.
I thought about posting a pic of my incision but I can't really take a pic of it myself and it's kinda gross... it's about a 7" incision on my lower back that goes from about my waist to the top of my tailbone.  I really didn't think it would be that big... but am glad in a way that it was, at least I know they knew what they were looking at instead of trying to do it blind like they did with my gallbladder.
The Dr said all went well with the surgery except that it took about 2 hrs longer than scheduled due to something with the hardware not fitting properly and them having to fix that and the other in part to me being a bleeder, again... but this time they were able to give me my own blood back because I warned them that I was a bleeder before hand. 
I spent Wednesday through Saturday in the hospital, they almost made me wait until Sunday to be released, but that was Mother's day and I wanted to be out and with the kids.
The boys have been really helpful considering how incapacitated I've been.  While they are growing tired of helping me I think this has been good for them to have to contribute. 
We got moved out and into our temporary living 'quarters'.... I'm waiting for my stipend to start looking for a new place.  I'm afraid that I won't be able to afford anything here in the valley, being that I really don't want to live in an apartment complex again, I may not have a choice though.... it's 6's, rent a house in Ogden or Clearfield and commute from there or find someplace in Herriman, have them go to my friends for daycare and commute to downtown from there..... no easy fixes here... sigh....
Shae leaves for Kentucky on June 10th.  There are some days I don't want him to go and other days when I can't wait.  He's a good kid and really has been a rock, but I think he's at the end of his rope with the twins and life being such chaos.  He blames the twins and me for everything going wrong in life, the fact he has to change schools again.... I feel bad.  He really was doing well at his school and was or is pretty popular.  Poor kid will be in 8th grade next year and has been to 5 going on 6 schools... that's just not right.  I haven't given the kids a stable foundation.  I think that's what I'm looking for with this move, somewhere people won't be up in our business, where the mob-mentality won't rule, and we can stay for awhile, living on my income and still being comfortable.
Tall order huh? 
Well I need to start on my homework, I haven't been on top of that either, where I thought I would be since I was at home and not having to work, I couldn't stand sitting for the length of time it took to type up a paper... so I have some catching up to do now that my legs and back are feeling better, Thank God for prednisone and pain killers, I may actually get some stuff done.
