Health Update

So, I actually survived-- and more importantly, Baby survived. We made it through over 4 hours of surgery. And the anesthesia didn't seem to bother me as much this time. The pain was bad, of course, but seemed to subside pretty quickly. I guess the break was worse than the doc could see from x-rays, so I have even more hardware in my arm than expected. I think the total is 3 plates, 17 screws and 4 pins (including previous surgery). You should see the x-rays of my arm-- I look like some robot or something. Oh, and of course I am going to have two VERY large scars on my elbow/arm.

Baby did great! The doctor said they all enjoyed listening to the baby's heartbeat during the surgery-- and I got to wake up to the sound of her little heart!!! Yeah!!! Now, my biggest chore is getting to all of my appointments. I average about 4 appointments a week for the next 7 weeks-- or until the baby comes!!! Finding babysitters and cars to borrow-- what a chore!!! But, I suppose we will make it through. . . eventually!
