A week ago I had a much needed hysterectomy.  I thought that it was over the top to have surgery with three young boys at home.  I was pleasantly surprised by how much people were willing to bless myself and my family.  I had a Laproscopic supracervical hysterectomy and was home the same day.  My parents came to town to help with the boys.  My husband and parents would not allow me to do anything and waited on me hand and foot.  My dad went back home and left my Mom for the week and my friends and church family have brought us dinner each night and we are scheduled to have someone bring us something through the end of next week.  What a blessing to not have to worry about what is for dinner. 

I battle feeling guilty that people are having to take care of me.  I feel like I am halting my Mom's life for the time being and my friends who are dropping off dinner each night have their own families to take care of and feed.  The angel that dropped off our meal yesterday evening had her six children in tow while she brought us the most wonderful baked chicken and vegetables that I have ever eaten.  She certainly has her hands full and yet she took the time to bless our family.  It makes my eyes well with tears when I think of how much my friends love and bless me.

I would love to be that person that truly enjoys this time and can kick back and relax and let others do the job I normally do.  I guess that is what it is really all about, it is my job and I feel like a slacker if I am not doing it.  I am going to enjoy the next few days and let people pamper me.  I am married to the most incredible guy in this world and he would do anything for me.  I think I am going to try to act like someone who deserves to be pampered even if I do not feel like I deserve it!
