Just when you think more blessings can't possibly come...they do! We got the call today from Dr. Pensak's office stating that my tumor was confirmed to be an acoustic neuroma and completely benign! Praise GOD! We have always felt pretty confident about that but it sure was nice to hear for sure.
The day has been good...I got lots of rest and everyone else did all of my work. That is really new for me but I'm trying to follow rules and allow everyone to help. I am so grateful to have them all helping out because I surely wouldn't be able to do it with them.
So many of you have reached out on my blog and I know I haven't responded to each of you but I've read each and every one of your post. I thank you all so much!!!! The encouragement, support and prayers really keeps me focused and going strong! You all are awesome!
Until tomorrow...good night!

Jenny makes this homemaker thing look easier than it actually is.
ReplyDeleteI started the laundry today. For those that don’t know, Jenny is very protective of her washer and dryer (she even put a laundry “cheat sheet” of instructions above the appliances in the event I were to even think of using them). That’s why I got really nervous when the first load I attempted I received an error code (D4). It appears I broke her washing machine on my very first attempted load. Luckily, I had kept the manuals that provide help in troubleshooting various error codes. It turns out “D4” is a common code for our model. It’s highly technical but luckily I have the technological background to troubleshoot such an issue. It means “DOOR OPEN” (actually D=door open, 4= wait 4 your wife).
Later in the day I had three loads completed, was on my fourth and feeling pretty good. The kids arrived home from school and started on their snacks. Jenny usually makes the boys move right on to their homework and goes through the school backpacks with each of them. I thought, “This is easy, homework can wait. Let’s play in the snow first”. Off we went to play for an hour or so. Upon returning, we ate a great dinner and it was time for their homework. Soon it became apparent to me why Jenny goes through the school bags immediately. It appears Nolan, my second oldest, decided to bring home a “pet” snow ball hidden in his bag. I’m sure she was beautiful in a more solid state. We’ve since named her “puddles”.
The later it gets in the evening, the more reality is setting in. The four now clean loads of laundry, at some point, need to be put away. I guess I just assumed it would take care of itself. After all it had in the past. Whenever I needed a shirt or pants, there they were. I never thought about the work it takes to get them there. She sure does make it look easy. It’s not.
I have to go. Socks don’t match themselves.

Dan - you are halirious! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJen - so glad to hear the news! A big big AMEN on that one.
Keep resting & letting everyone help. I know it's hard, but it is important. It's a lesson - cause someday you might be the one helping someone else and they may be having a hard time letting you.
So kick back & heal! God Bless!

Jenny,
ReplyDeleteThank God for the good news about the tumor! You just keep following the doctor's orders and rest while you can...things will go back to "normal" soon enough.
Dan...I think you missed your calling...you've kept me in stitches reading your posts. Thank you! Laughter is the best medicine...say hi to Puddles for me ~ and good luck with the socks...they can really be elusive sometimes.
Hi Jen, So thankful you dodged the Big bullet that your tumor was benign. Be sure and take those naps. It is amazing how much your body needs them to heal.

Jen ~ That is wonderful news. Praise God.
ReplyDeleteDan ~ You have definately missed your calling! So glad you were able to figure out the error code and find Puddles - though it sounds as though you were a wee bit late to rescue him. But, thankfully, Jen is first in line! You two are really touching lives and bring a smile to mine each time I read your blog. God Bless!
Keep resting! And as tempting as it is to get up and do the laundry, just let Dan continue to feel our pain:)lol
