Kevin’s 5th Surgery.

Kevin had another surgery on Thursday.  We knew it was coming, he had an obvious Umbilical Hernia (Hernia through his belly button, which was part of Octobers scar tissue), The surgery turned out to be more extensive than planned, instead of one hernia, he turned out to have two, and a weak spot.  So it was a bit more intrusive than planned, but it was a very good thing that we got it taken care of now.  He’s only got a two inch incision, so that’s good news.  He however is in a lot of pain and needs a lot of rest and pain meds.

On the home front, things are going slowly.  We have carpet and paint colors picked, we finished the carpet planning on our way home from Kevin’s 24 hour post op.  He did fine and felt up to it.  I’m excited to see it come together.  The mudding of the dry wall goes slow.  We should have painted by now, but the dry wall mudder keeps coming up with reasons to drag things out.  If he doesn’t wrap up by Monday I think I’ll be making a phone call or two.  Once that’s done it shouldn’t be too long until the paint and carpet are done.  Then we can finally move back into the half of our home that isn’t really usable right now.

The content part of the recovery is going slowly.  I haven’t even begun to go shopping, or know much from the insurance in that regard.  We do however have a lot of stuff that was saved, that will be able to move back out to the rooms, so it’s not like they’ll be empty or unusable, and will free up the usable spaces of our home because right now they’re crowded with the stuff that’s supposed to be elsewhere.

Overall we’re doing alright.  We’re all pretty tired, but getting along.
