Julie, sounds like you're doing better:) I just caught up with your blog and am glad that your pain fiasco is behind you! I hope you don't have to face anything like that again! Your kids sound great and so sweet:) Looking forward to more updates, keep your chin up!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to hear that you can hold your little one. I am so happy to hear that your crazy pain med. ordeal is over. That was just crazy to read about. I was frustrated with you. I can't believe that they would even say you shouldn't need it anymore. Obviously they have never had major surgery. But they could have at least sympathesized a little bit. I enjoy reading your progress. And that you are doing much better. Enjoy the pampering and help. Katie
