I know I haven't posted in awhile. I wish I could say that it was because I was so busy with fun activities with the family or something great like that. Even better, that I hadn't been posting because I was in the hospital with the surgery already. But no. It's just that I've been feeling pretty crappy lately.
I hope this doesn't end up coming off like some kind of whine fest (free tastes at every whinery!!). As much as I started this blog to keep everyone informed, it's also a bit therapeutic. Even though there are only a couple of people listening; hi Ashley; somehow yelling into the abyss of cyberspace feels good. Ok, disclaimer over.
I have been having issues with keeping the wonderfully delicate balance of fluid intake/output regulated correctly. We recently had to add an even stronger diuretic into my medicinal mix. Fun, fun.
I love that such a large part of my life now centers on how much I can pee in a day. Things have been reduced to a measurement of what-goes-in vs. what-comes-out. It's all starting to get depressing in the utter monotony. Sometimes I feel like I'm going a little crazy with it all.
It's hard being sick, for everyone. The kids want to do things and go places and I never seem to feel like it. Even when I do, I always peter out way too fast. I feel like they're getting screwed out of their summer.
Khristina doesn't have it any easier. She's the one who ends up having to take care of the entertainment and getting things done. I'm no good for giving her any kind of break lately. She's taking up all the slack, literally and in the end all she's left with is a husband who either wants to sleep or...... well sleep.
I feel like I could stay in bed 95% of the time. I've always liked to sleep late, but lately I just want to sleep all the time. Of course, when I do lay down it starts to get uncomfortable (see the earlier part of this about the fluid retention). Kinda screwed either way.
Told ya this was gonna be pitiful. Sorry. Maybe next time I should wait for a slightly better day.....

(looking shadily around) So, I know this guy and can hook you up with Lasix on the D.L. ... Oh, wait. That's you!
Hope you start feeling better soon!
Mr.Shawn,
I am sorry that you are going through such a hard time. But you and the rest of the family will get through it. You are all such a strong group of people. But! On the weekends or on the days off from work, I can take the kids out of the house and go do something with them? if you trust me enough to drive them somewhere? Give K a break and maybe some alone time for the two of you while the kids are still being entertained. Win win? I think so.
Just let me know! Hang in there!
..."Even though there are only a couple of people listening"... There are more of us listening than you know. My prayers are with you, asking for white light of healing spirit to be with you all the time now...Hang in there!! Holla if you want to vent...
Hey Shawn..Don't worry about sounding whiney, ya'll are going through so much that you have to get it out, otherwise you would explode. I know that it's hard on everyone, but everyone loves you, so what they do for you is out of nothing but that love. I can take the kids out sometime with mine, if ya'll want or need me to..I don't mind at all. Hang in there and let me know if there's anything I can do for you...I can even bring the cheese for the next whine tasting :)
