Bed Rest Day 3...Knee Surgery Gone Bad

Howdy Family and Friends,
Welcome to day 3 of bed rest at the Busch household! Today my sister came from Kearney to help out with some household chores such as cleaning and laundry that have accumulated over the last week. Little did we know what the day would hold in store.

Rachel showed up at around 9:45 a.m. and just dug right in by helping out with the boys and whipping the kitchen into shape. I maintained my perch on the couch flat on my back, looking outside at a very depressing scene. It had been raining since the middle of the night and the only positive thing that the rain showed me was that there was at least some moisture and green grass starting to appear. Then about noon, snow started to slowly drift from the sky amongst the very heavy rain. Sure enough, slowly but surely, the rain stopped and turned to wet and heavy snow. School was closed at noon and the Busch boys were all at home full of more energy than I have had all week!

Around 2:45 p.m., my sister was making her way back to Kearney only to drive 3 miles outside of town to get stuck. Back she came to our home. The rest of the day for me was spent on the couch and Aunt Rachel able to enjoy her nephews for a few more hours.

Evening came and the snow continued to fall and temps continue to plummet lower and lower. Our neighbor Rob came over to visit and soon enough my eyelids were getting rather heavy and sleep was just around the corner...just another day on bed rest...still swollen and still sore...from my sleepy snowy picture window to yours, have a great day!
