Well on Monday, I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. The doctor is in Indy so Eric took off and we headed down there. Everything went really well and I wasn't even scared when they put me out. I have had this fear with the past few surgeries and so I just told myself I was not going to get all worked up about it. My surgery started about 12:15pm and we were in the car heading home at 1:30pm! That was quick! Since I couldn't eat before my surgery, I was pretty hungry despite the crackers I had afterwards. So, Eric and I headed to Steak N Shake in Lebanon on the way home. It tasted so good!! I was really not in any pain and I just rested. They put this huge ice pack on my arm to prevent swelling so I kept it on and took my pain medicine. Carrie stopped by after she got off work to check on me. Mom, Megan and the girls came by later on as well. The doctor told me to stay home from work on Tuesday so I did. It was so nice to rest. Kennady stayed all night to "help" me and we just chilled out all day long.

Wednesday I headed back to work in my new position at ICM. I am now a paraprofessional in our large case management department. Large case means we deal with patients who are having transplants or major catastrophic illnesses. I will be sending the reports to the insurance companies as well as many other tasks which I will learn very soon. I like it as I am not on the phones constantly and do things at my own pace.

Friday night we went to Darlington to my cousin, K.C.'s, wedding reception. K.C. and her husband, Chisolm, live in Oklahoma and actually got married there in June. They wanted to have a little get together here as well. Unfortunately, I did not get any pics of the bride and groom so the following 3 pics our from K.C.'s facebook. I am sorry they are small and hard to see...............
Here is Jen, all smiles for the photo.............................
This is K.C.'s aunt on the left and my cousin, also K.C.'s aunt, Lori, on the right. Lori and her family moved to South Carolina last year and so it was really nice to see her. I used to watch her kids when I was younger. Her oldest is 24!! Wow, that makes me feel old!!!
Mom and Jason
Megan and Jason
Kennady was so excited because there is a pond around the conservation club and she got to fish! There was a nice couple there fishing and they let her take a shot.
Here is the first fish she caught!
Emme was hiding from the camera so I didn't get any good pictures of her......doesn't she look so innocent! ha!
Here is the 2nd fish she caught!!
Here it is up close...............this one was bigger than the first............
Saturday I cleaned in the morning and then Kennady came over so she could spend the night. Megan had a batchelorette party in Indy so Kennady wanted to stay with us. We marked all of her school supplies for her as she starts school on TUESDAY! I can't believe school is about to start. And let me tell ya, that girl is soooooooooooo excited! She will be going to a new school and will be riding the bus. She already has her outfit picked out!! We also watched "27 Dresses" and it was a good movie.
Sunday morning rolled around and Kennady helped me fix breakfast. We made Uncle Eric french toast and sausage links. It must of been really good because they each ate 4 pieces!! WOW! I took Kennady home this afternoon and caught up on my soap--The Young and the Restless. I fixed a nice dinner..........fresh green beans with red potatoes, pork chops and cottage cheese. I have leftover for lunch tomorrow!!
Tomorrow will start another week. We have no plans but I am sure that will change as always! ha! Have a great week!!!
