My beautiful wife

Yesterday was probably the worst day that we have had so far. First things first, I'm getting really tired of laying in the same position on the couch. I always used to love this when I was a kid, I got to lay on the couch, watch t.v., eat junk food, and never change out of my pajamas but it's starting to get old. Although on the other hand we rented the first two seasons of "Psych" and are in love with it. Second thing is that I've been battling a terrible stomach ache for the past 48 hours, it's without a doubt the worst stomach pain that I've ever felt. I think it's my stomach's way of telling me that my diet of only prescription meds isn't going to suffice. And third the hip pain-- I've been getting up and doing my doctor-approved exercises and stretches three times a day, and the pain is starting to shift from surgical pain to muscle and joint pain. That's a good thing in my mind, it means that the road to recovery is going well but man does it hurt. I think I pushed it yesterday, but I couldn't really help it when your stomach hurts that much you gotta go to the bathroom, there's no way around it. So today I've decided that I'm not moving from the couch before I mess up something in my hip again.

But the most important thing that I'm realizing from this time on the couch is how wonderful my wife is. No one guesses that within your first year of marriage that you'll have to take care of your husband after TWO surgeries. I wouldn't be able to do this without her and she is what's keeping me going. Lets hope that today is going to be better and remember that the best medicine is laughter.
