What's your pain level today?
Kyndra's pain level was high today.
She couldn't express it in words but she did a fine job of expressing it nonetheless.
I heard her loud and clear...she didn't feel good.
My patience level was low today.
I'm done being a nurse-maid.
I'm tired of watching her eat only Popsicle and Carnation Instant Breakfast.
We sent her to school even though today was the worst day so far. They said it would be this way on day 3 or 4 and it was, it was by far. I guess the local that they give during a tonsilectomy is very strong and lasts several days...it wears off on day 3 or 4. The teacher in me felt like if she could ride a merry-go-round on Saturday she could sure as heck go to school on Monday. Joe checked on her at lunch and gave her some medicine for the pain. She made it through the first day back and will keep going tomorrow...I just feel guilty for making her do it...for being the enforcer.
It's 8 o'clock, the kids are in bed, I'm right behind them...tomorrow will be a better day.

I'm sorry it was such a yucky day for Kyndra and for you. Hopefully all of this will mean less painful, sickly days in the future. Maybe this is it for the school year. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I am feeling sympathy for both of you. I barely survived my tonsils being out...granted I was 21 and they say it is worse for adults...but I am also NOT a very patient nurse. Sleep tight, sweet dreams.
Oh dear. This is not the good news we wanted to hear. It's no longer a 'piece of cake' evidently. We send our love and hopes that today and each day hereafter gets better for everyone!!
OH Stacy ... I am sending you hugs and prayers right now... I can NOT even imagine!
Hoping today was better!
Much love to all of you!
Maybe you should both stay home tomorrow and nap!
Hoping that today was better and that tomorrow will be even better than today!!
You are one of the best enforcers I know. :)
Hopefully your days have been better!!! Kids usually bounce back pretty quickly! Keep on keepin' on!
Stacey-
I am hoping all the bugs are back to feeling no pain! (Well except the pain of a Monday morning.)
