Workouts, Hospital, and Work...Oh My!

Whoa what a week it has been so far! I started out my week with the beginning of a new school year. I have been working like crazy in my classroom to get it ready for the school year and it has come along great. The classroom was 95% ready when school started on Monday. I'm finishing up a few things then I hope it's done, but all you other teachers out there know that a teacher's work is never done. The first day of school went great, we have been blessed with a wonderful class. Monday also marked Day 1 of my 8 week training for a 5K i'm running in October. Now running is not my idea of fun, give me basketball or volleyball to play and I could play all day but just running I really have to motivate myself. The training program I'm doing is a great one and I'm really excited to push myself and accomplish this goal! On Wednesday my wonderful Momma had hip replacement surgery, so I spent all day at the hospital with my Dad. When I say all day I really mean ALL day, we had to be there at 4 am and we left at 5pm. Needless to say we were exhausted when we came home. They did my Mom's surgery outpatient! (I'll give you a minute to pick your jaw up off the floor, I know it took me a good minute to get over my shock!) Her surgeon was amazing, he performed the surgery in only 45 minutes! (again take a moment to get over the shock) I was amazed that they could do a full hip replacement surgery outpatient and in only 45 minutes. My mom was in recovery for a while because her blood pressure was fluctuating too much, so we couldn't see her right away which was hard for me and my Dad. Once she got into a room she ate some lunch which made her happy and then they got her up and walking with a walker and a cane so they could send her home. I'm am still amazed that she was up and walking with a walker the SAME day she had her surgery. My Mom was sent home the same day and we got home about 6pm last night. She is doing great with a little pain and is pretty tired, which is to be expected. God has truly blessed her with amazing,caring doctors and nurses. I know God was with her and my family through all of this and He will continue to be with us through her recovery! I want to thanks all of you who did and are praying for her! God is so good.

This is me and my beautiful Momma after her surgery! This was right after I got to see her for the first time since right before her surgery! I was so excited that I got to see her again and that she was feeling pretty good. Hope y'all have an awesome day!
