Saturday

Yea finally a day to sleep in a little and not have a million things to do (only a couple hundred) :) We had pancakes for breakfast today! Found a whole grain pancake mix at Whole Foods that did not have nasty stuff in it and it actually tastes really good. Ric was craving pancakes so was glad I found it for him. Ah the little things that bring us joy! Finally got myself organized and set up a full weeks menu so that I'm not trying to wing it every day. Winging it is not my style but it has been a teaching moment - I did it and I survived it but in order to save my sanity I must be organized. Also then my poor husband does not get the same thing every other day. Been finding some good recipes - thanks to all my friends who have assisted in that! Mom came over for a couple days to help us with things and that was certainly a blessing. Tomorrow Ric will be off the supplements for 5 days which means not having to wake up at 1:30am to take the enzymes so I know he will enjoy that. But since he's been doing that for the last 10 days I am sure that his body will wake him up anyway. We put in almost a full week of work - was off on Monday - not full days yet but about 5-6 hrs at the office. He really enjoys being back at work. It has been 8 weeks since "C" day and 7 weeks since surgery. Ric looks better every day and is getting stronger every day. Still trying to put on some weight but it's a bit difficult when the majority of your diet is vegetables and fruits. With his appetite increasing hopefully that will start happening - he would feel more comfortable with about 5-7 lbs back on. Please keep the prayers coming especially regarding continued healing and some weight gain!
