Udpate and Dr. visit

Well,  it has been about a week since I blogged.  I really do think about it but then my book takes hold.  Getting lots of good reading in.  Nothing of literary quality but good summer trash.  Yes, I read the 50 Shades trilogy.  I get lots of free books from Pixelsofink.com.  Each day they send an email with free books from Amazon.  Great way to get freebies.

I am pretty impressed with myself.  I have been doing quite well being quiet.  Of course, I have a wonderful support system and family and friends who truly care!!

 I have been to the pool party - iphone was lifesaver, swim team practices, mock swim meet - must get cowbell!!!, end of year party (whoo hoo) - Owen did catch me talking a bit oops so I typed the rest, last day of school for a bit, post planning at school, and a weekend at the lake - so hard to "watch" ultimate charades of death, especially when I knew the answers - but i was official timer/scorekeeper, wine drinker.  I got a stylus for my ipad and write on Bamboo papers app.  It makes it very easy and user friendly.  I have talked a bit - a sentence here or there (when your 8 yr. old son is near tears because he doesn't understand you words are needed :)  I do know when I have talked to much and put an end to it right there.

Today I went back to the dr. for a check up and to possibly schedule surgery. My left vocal cord looks better than April but still not awesome.  I am on complete voice rest for another week.

We have tentatively scheduled surgery for June 7 or possibly June 12 (Happy Anniversary Owen!!) - yes, I have heard all the must love the quiet jokes!  Hopefully it will go as planned and then I can recover!

Recovery includes:  another week of complete silence, then adding a few minutes every few days. Hopefully by August 6, I will be much better.  Still will need an amplifier. My ENT says every teacher should have one.  He had another patient in today who taught Kindergarten also. UGH!!!

We are so blessed to have a wonderful support system.  We live within 30 minutes of all our in state family members. WE are currently planning trips for the kids.  I will be staying home bound during complete silence after surgery.  I have to take away tempation. Know any good movies - send the names my way!! I know I am going to catch up on Drop Dead Diva - Lifetime rocks.

Must go watch movie with the kids - I will update shortly.  Please leave me comment so I know someone is looking at the blog :)
