Melva was here this week and she was so great to have when I went in for day surgery on Thursday. It has been very nice having someone help me with little things around the house - especially the never ending laundry. Hanna is even letting her hold her for short amounts of time. It's amazing this "stranger anxiety is". And it's not even just strangers...anyone except her Mom.

Everything went well on Thursday and I have no pain. The wait seemed long but Hanna did pretty good. She had some "stranger" moments with lots of hollering. It was usually when a few nurses would come up to her at a time while Melva was holding her and it would be too overwhelming for her. It felt loud and long to me when she cried but maybe her Mom was just being too sensitive.

I had an IV put in which was so annoying. I hate IV needles. Mom and Dad might remember when I was in the hospital when I was 5 years old and the annoying IV that I had in my hand then. I still remember that.

We had company for supper and some more crokinole tonight...and I know I spelled that right. Did you know that in the dictionary its definition is a "board game popular in Canada in which players flick wooden discs". I had no idea that it was a Canadian game. Cool!

Hope everyone had a good week. I know you probably don't want to hear me ramble so I will post a few pictures soon from this week.

Good night!
