Bed rest...Day 2

Howdy Family and Friends,

Bed rest day two is a sort of continuation of bed rest day one. I found out some very interesting news though...never, EVER, underestimate the power of a two year old, a cell phone and his crazy Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Jonathan!

Around the 11 o'clock night hour, my youngest son Isaac decided to play with my cell phone. Since I was a little out of it due to my medication, it wasn't really registering that Isaac was actually calling anyone. I assumed that he was just pretending to talk to people because he would say some words and then say, "Not working" and shut the phone. Little did I know that he was using my speed dial function and calling people!

Dave related to me the following tall tale that I supposedly encountered.
Isaac called Uncle Jonathan on speed dial number 9 and talked to him for 11 minutes but Isaac hung up on him which is where the "Not working" must have come in and proceeded to call Aunt Kathleen who is on speed dial number 8. Once again, "Not working" was what I heard. The phone rang, Isaac answered and I had the hardest time getting the phone from him. Once I finally got it, Isaac started to cry and then Kathleen proceeded to tell me that she was Emergency 911 and asked if I had an emergency. I guess I told her no, and apologized profusely and tried to explain that I just had surgery and then told her that I had taken some pain killers.

The next thing I remember is that she wanted me to pick up some "Flea Yeast". I wrote it down on my computer so I wouldn't forget the next morning. When I woke up and saw the note, for the life of me I couldn't figure out what flea yeast was and finally emailed her. Thank goodness I got that all straight. As I said before, never underestimate the family and the power of pain killing drugs!

As for the rest of Day 2, today was cold and continued to get colder. I was able to get in some reading time while Caleb was at Preschool and Sylva brought her dog Mercy over to visit me this morning for two hours. This afternoon Isaac and I cuddled on the couch and fell asleep until around 3 and Joyce showed up and played Grandma to the boys so I could rest more. Isaac ended up cuddling with her for another 2 and a half hours until Dave came home from work.

I told one friend who called me that I felt like my backside had made a permanent mold into the couch. Not much fun to say the least! I am anxiously waiting for Friday to get here! It's just not coming fast enough for this gal!

From my still swollen and cold picture window to yours, have a great day!
