Okay..let me recap a few weeks...Bryce had his 6th birthday and wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese (germ-o-rama for moms!!!)and bring his buddy Max. I lucked out yet again and did not have to do a party!! The kids got out of school on May 30th..so Taylor will be starting 5th grade and Bryce 1st in August...I cannot begin to say how excited I am for all day school for both of my kids!!!! We hit the Strawberry Days parade with my bro and sis in-law and my nephews and had a great time hangin with family. We took the kids to the carnival that afternoon and they had fun on the rides. I enjoyed the people watching...where do these people all come from that go to carnivals and amusement parks...and where are all their teeth??
I am healed about 98% back to normal...still sore in my muscles from where they cut but have healed up well. We are hangin by the pool, kids are riding bikes and enjoying walks in the evenings...Marc is busy and working hard and we love when he comes home after work to just hang out and relax. Life is good.....

The haunting in my life that is High School Musical 3
Well the other day I get 3 e-mails and 4 text messages to my phone that extras are needed for High School Musical 3 for 3 days....Due to my recovery last week I didn't get the e-mail's soon enough to reply....But by the wicked smirk I got from Taylor when I told her about it I could tell she thought it was the coolest thing ever!! So then I got one last text on Fri.(yesterday) saying they still needed people and to show up at East High and she was like "Mom go!!!" but we had lunch plans with my good girlfriends at Pizza Factory in like 20 min. and I was looking forward to that more! Plus I guess I am still in denile about age...I was asked to dress like I was attending a high school graduation....So even though I am old enough to have a child old enough to graduate in real life (there was even 1 girl that was a grandma at my 20 year H.S. reunion)I still refuse to accept it!!!!!!!!! But seeing in my daughters eyes how cool it was that I could be there..well that was so funny and worth it!
I am feeling good..the only discomfort I have from my surgery is my ribs are a little tender but I can't complain! I went back to the gym yesterday and felt good to be back! It is amazing how 4 days can make such a big difference. Thanks again to all of you for the treats and meals and kind words...And a big I owe you forever to Lisa and Brent for giving Bryce his first non-family sleep over! After hearing the story that is Bryce "at his best" I owe you guys for the rest of my life!!!!!! So Lisa if ya ever need a kidney...I got ya covered sista!!!!!

Who needs a Lung??? Apparently I do!!
Well let me tell you all of my newest adventure! As many of you know I had a collapsed lung last May and was in ICU for 4 days witha chest tube. Well Sunday I went to have a chest x-ray done because I was having similar symptoms...but also sypmtoms that could be hyper-thyroidism as well. So we decided to rule out the lung. Guess what??? Rule it right back in! Yup..you guessed it...collapsed again. So I ended up in ER and they went over and did another x-ray and scheduled me with a cardiovasular surgeon first thing next morning and I was out of there for the night. I meet with Dr. Thorn and he says that since this has happened already once the chances are it will keep happening again. So he suggests surgery and let's Marc and I have a few min. to talk. So I ask the Dr. what he would do if it were his wife and he says surgery. But I already knew in my heart this needed to be done. This whole past year I have felt something off in my body and alot with my breathing.. At this point I am crying..but not because I am scared of the pain...but because I DO NOT want to throw up after surgery! So I get scheduled for 6 a.m. the next day. I get the okay to hit the gym one more time (bi's,tri's,shoulders and ab's and calves cuz I will be out of commission for a while)paint my toe nails (I figured I am going to be looking at them for awhile so they better look good)and pack a bag. Well surgery the next day comes and my good husband is by my side taking care of me. I am glad to say there was NO vomiting but a few close calls. I have never taken pain med's other that Motrin 800's for any "elective surgery" in the past so I have no experience with them. And they are what made me nausiated...but Zofram was my wonder drug that took the sick feeling away. So they went in with a scope and collapsed my lung completly (it was 30% down)and looked around and found the problem and stapled it and then added a talc type powder to scar up my lung and hopefully fixed the problem. I came out with 2 chest tubes and 3 incisions...15 years ago they would have opened my chest up. Ouch! So I was out of the hospital 2 days later...all the while Marc by my side. He slept in a recliner each night..Grandma took Bryce and Taylor was at her friends...We have had yummy dinners brought in each night and I had friends visit me in the hospital. So the worst part now is I cough.. which is normal but hurts like a MoFo!!!! I am bruised and swollen on my right side but I have been living out my inner fluzy wearing a tank top with no bra(and I will say it..is fun with fake big boobs!) because of being so swollen! So to all of you with your calls and flowers and text messages and visits and meals....Thank you SOOOOOOO much! I will be forever greatful for all your love...and I love you all!!!!
