So DH is supposed to be resting.  We all got up early to day our 14yods to his volunteer job, then took the younger ones to the park.  I think he did more lifting than he should have.  I needed a potty break, so we went to a nearby McD's, got a couple drinks, and let the kids play in the playplace.  Then ran to Jewel (he and kids stayed in the car), then to pick up the young volunteer.  We had packed a picnic lunch, but realized the lunchmeat was spoiled, so stopped and picked up McD's before heading to my uncle's to swim.  It was raining wh en we got there, but soon cleared up and we enjoyed the day.  Still, I think he did too much playing with the kids.

After swimming, we came home, I started pizza crust in the bread maker and ran some errands.  Our 14yods was to mow the church lawn on the tractor, but when I returned from my errands I discovered DH on the mower.  (ugh)  By the time we finished dinner, we were all so exhausted we each picked a spot on the floor or a couch, one of us fell asleep, the boys put on a movie, and DH and I just collapsed.

Needless to say, it was not an incredibly restful day for him, and I'm a bit alarmed as he now has joint pain in his right knee.  I'm concerned, as it's the same side they inserted the scope, and am wondering if it's something we need to call the doctor about.  I know he will muddle through as we have concert tickets for tomorrow and he would do just about anything not to miss it.

I tried to get him to ask for help with the church cleaning, but he insists he can do it.  I'm not so sure now.  There is still quite a bit to do, and I've told our 14yods he needs to get up early and get an hour plus done before the day's meetings start in the morning.

I am even more convinced now that we are making the right decision in moving.  I'm thinking I still haven't elaborated on that one.  I need to do that.  But honestly, I'm too tired now.

If you've been praying, we are so grateful, and ask that you continue to remember him in your prayers, as they will be periodically monitoring his heart to check for improvement or decline in its function.

Blessings,
