Less than a week
As surgery approaches, I am getting nervous! All my other surgeries that I have had in the past did not have risks like this one does. I have never been nervous about a surgery before, maybe the last one made me scared of them. Anyway, Friday is the day and I will be praying hard that I come out of it okay.

Tense
Tense is the only word I can find to describe the last three weeks. It's interesting, the saying "when mom doesn't feel good, nobody feels good". Let me tell you how true that is. Blake is trying to come home and play with Braden and cook dinner and clean and do laundry, because I just don't feel good most of the time. I do my very best to care for Braden during the day and even he has had to adapt to a different day time routine. Then by the time Blake gets home I feel horrible and the craziness keeps going. We are all running on a low battery now, ah fun times.
Yesterday was crazy with the surgeon appointment and the traveling and setting up surgery and calling my parents to see when they can make it at the very last moment. It is done though, all I have to do is go to the hospital. Then a whole new craziness starts, anyway maybe "crazy" is the word I was looking for. lol
Ok that's all I have

Ok, really
Unfortunately for most of you who read this, you might not care, I am in the middle of medical craziness. Some of my posts will be medical related so I can tell everyone what happens next in my craziness.
Church today was, well, church. Braden does well with church mostly, if the teacher doesn't change every week. He never wants to go but when church is done he's excited to tell us all about it. I think this was my first day in class since the beginning of the year because of all the teacher switching they have been doing in his class. I was excited to get to go to my class finally, and Blake has been going to his all along and letting me do the hallway walking. Not that he didn't offer to do it sometimes. I'm sure everyone goes through this, getting ready for church and trying to get there on time and all the stress that comes with it is horrible. Then church is over and classes went well, you learned some stuff and felt spiritually lifted and you think why is it so hard to get there?!! It frustrating sometimes.
Not too much to talk about today since we went to church and came home. I do have a appointment with the surgeon tomorrow though, so I will let everyone know if I get any information from that. I am trying to think if there is anyone that is going to read this that doesn't know what is happening with all of that. Just in case, I will give a summary. I have been hypothyroid for years and been on meds for it and in 2004 they found a goiter did a biopsy and didn't find cancer so yay! Thought I was off the hook. About three weeks ago my thyroid swelled a lot, I had trouble breathing. So off to the sonogram I went and results are that it's 3.7cm. which is big. Doctor says they remove the thyroid if it gets to 4cm, but mine is close enough and I'm having problems breathing. So, that is where I am. Going to the surgeon and I don't know anything else yet.
Hope this wasn't too boring, it's not really a blog meant to excite. I made it for myself to just write. I will also let you know about some of the fun things the family is doing, so hopefully it won't be all boring. ;)

Just playing around
I decided I would join the bloggers, right now I am trying to figure all this out. There is lots to set up and I think I'm still not done. I tried to put out a poll on my page, I thought that was a pretty cool option. It's not working right now, so maybe later. I will make a real blog a little later today, just checking stuff out!
Also, for those of you who do decide to leave a comment. There was a cool feature where you could change what it says, so at the bottom it doesn't say" comments" it says" pieces of love". That is the comment section, cool huh?
