On the road to recovery

Last Monday I had dental surgery.  I had some cracked teeth that needed repair and one to be pulled as it abcessed before the surgery.  Since local anethetics don't work I had to go to the hospital to get knocked right out.  The surgery itself went fine but my jaw remained dislocated for several days.  It remains painful at times still. 

I think the biggest surprise since Monday is how much better I am feeling.  I guess that the infection must have been much worse than I though.  I was pretty much non-functional the week before surgery with pain and fatigue but now I realize that I had been sick for much longer.  I finally feel alert again.  This should serve as a reminder not to put off looking after me again because it impacts everyone.

Over the next few weeks the boys may be wishing that I still felt under the weather as I work to get us back on track and organized for a busy summer.
