Hello, I’m not Fancy

June 26, 2014 · 3 Comments

So I haven’t been able to blog in awhile…consistently for that matter. I wanted to write a note to say hello and share what we have been doing. We are finally on Summer break. no school. no homework. no schedules. no nothing. Whoop! However, this summer has already been labeled “Surgery Summer” in our house. A few weeks ago my son had a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy and I had a week ago today an Anterior Cervical Spinal Discectomy and Fusion. In simple words I had a ruptured disc removed, replaced with a cadaver bone and bone marrow from my hip, my vertebrae fused together with a plate and screws to ultimately fuse the bone and I would be feeling much much better than the last few years! Recovery has it’s challenges like not being mommy for weeks aka the housework, laundry, bath time and everything else. It has gone rather well though and my sweet sweet husband has blown me away with taking on everything. Our friends and family have the sweetest souls making us dinner and helping with our kids when needed. So over the next few weeks and months my neck will fuse and I will be doing amazing.

We will not be able to go on vacation this summer as we originally planned but we are having fun staying home and doing the minimal keepin it real. Lots of late night movies, playing outside, sprinklers, sidewalk chalk, painting, coloring, and anything else we can think of at home. Next month when I am able to do more we are planning on taking the kids to the local museums, a few local farms, and maybe a few drives on the weekend.

I am reading Road Trip by Jen Hatmaker with a group of amazing girls. Hoping to be able to actually make some of the bible study meetings soon. Being restricted with my activities and really not being able to do anything for a while, I have lots of time to spend on social media browsing, oohing over all the DIY Projects I probable wont ever do but wish I can, looking at recipes, reading blogs, and posting photos to Instagram. I’m hoping I can start to blog now more often with my time since I am coherent enough to not seem like I have lost my mind.

Photo: Cervical spinal fusion was a success! This is my friend for a while but I'm Recovering at home. Thank you God and all the prayers from family and friends! They helped more than you know and God heard! Every obstacle we faced the days before surgery was overcome with God's grace and all of you that have prayed, called, and text today. Thank you my sweet and amazing friends and family! Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus for me, especially my husband!

 

So as I was reading some lovely blogs that I follow today I saw this and I was laughing so hard! I love the song I’m so Fancy by Iggy and this hilarious version I’m not Fancy from The Girls with Glasses is so me and I am sure a lot of my friends!! So here ya go sweet mommas. {I’m secretly jealous that I didn’t think of this} Keep it real being Not Fancy and Rockin the Mommyhood! Peace!

      Love that song too! Yes I have to wear that for a while until I get a good range of motion back in my neck. We were going to Colorado and planning to hike and other fun stuff like that but didn’t want to take the risk of re-injuring my neck this summer. I have a plate and 4 screws in my vertebrae on my c5 c6 disk that is fusing the bone to help fix what was wrong. Thanks for asking! Sorry for the long response! Have a blessed day!

Chalkola + Birthday

Riding horses, horse and rainbow cake, family time, pizza, and this adorable Chalkola Chalkboard. I am not an artist but the Chalkola brand chalk […]

His Love

This world is full of sorrow and suffering and death. But thankfully, this world isn’t it for us. Because of God’s greatest gift of salvation, we have the hope of the world to come, where there is no suffering and peace surpasses everything.  The storms that are raging and crashing all around us….will stop. That sickness […]
