5.5 hours and counting…

Until the weekend! Yay! This has been a crazy week because I was at the hospital a lot visiting my mom, and then helping her at home, so it doesn’t really seem like it should be Friday already. But, I’ll take it!

Today, I am going to the spa with my mom. I offered to cancel the appointment, but mom is getting a facial and she thinks that she can handle that, especially since she gets to lie down. She was already much better yesterday and hasn’t taken any painkillers since Wednesday night, so she is making a speedy recovery. The homecare nurse went to see her yesterday and she said that the wounds are healing really nicely. They were able to do the surgery the laproscopic way, so mom only has 4 small incisions, maybe a centimetre across each. She is able to walk around much better, so I’m sure in a few more days, she will be pretty much back to normal. The nurse is going to check on her again tomorrow, at which point she will likely be discharged from Homecare.

Tonight is my wedding shower at my church. It’s for men and women, so CT will be coming too. And I’m hoping my Dad and brother Thom will show up (Alex is camping in Algonquin, so he won’t be coming). I think we’ll have a really nice time catching up with some old friends.

Saturday, is a busy day. I have a bunch of errands to run in the morning, some of which are for my mom since she has to take it easy. CT and I are planning on leaving town around 2 or 3pm since we are going to visit with his parents for a few hours. Then, tomorrow evening, we are going to a wedding for one of CT’s friends. It’s about a half hour out of town. I imagine we’ll be getting home late, especially since the wedding doesn’t even start until 6:30pm.

Then Sunday morning/afternoon is Laura’s half ironman! I am really looking forward to going to cheer her on!!!

So, busy weekend ahead, but it will be lots of fun! Oh, only 8 more days until my dress fitting – wow! I hope that goes well (i.e. I hope I can fit into my dress)!!!!
