For one Jared had bi-lateral knee surgery last Monday 11/08...That was fun to say the least. The surgery itself was 2 1/2 hours long and we were at the hospital for over 9 hours. I was exhausted.(Jared might have been a little too) The nurses made Jared "walk" before he could go home. I was thinking OMG are they serious, you know he just had Bi-lateral surgery right...meaning BOTH knees. Apparently that doesn't matter he still had to walk to get out of the hospital so he basically tried to run just to go home.
Our first night home was as if I had just given birth to a new born. I was exhausted and the "baby" cried ALLLLLLLL night long. I didn't sleep more than 20 minutes before Mr Watson was needing me for something else. In his defense the pain pills they gave him don't work for him and make him hyper so he couldn't sleep. Poor guy. He is doing a little better now after a week. He is up and walking a little bit. (with crutches of course) Which by the way his crutches are the same height as ME. Today was his first physical therapy appt and everything seems to be going good.
Well all that and it was only MONDAY...sooooooo on Wednesday we had our best friends Roger and Michelle come in town from Virginia. Roger just got home from a deployment last Friday 11/05 so the boys were very excited to see each other. Since Jared was a little under the weather we enjoyed a lot of time at the house :( (Just what they flew across the country to do) We did manage to get him out of the house for food. Not a real tough thing to bribe him with :) We of course had to have Mexican when we have company in town. San Diego is the best place to get it.
Friday night was our Marine Corp Ball (our 6th one together) For those of you who don't know...They have this once a year to celebrate the Marine Corp Birthday. Its a nice ceremony, dinner, drinks and dancing. Well as you can imagine there was NO dancing. We barely made it past the ceremony and Jared was ready for bed. He isn't quite ready for a night full of partying yet!!! But he sure did look handsome in his dress blues even with crutches :)
Saturday Chase had his 2nd soccer game and he is already doing very well. He loves playing goalie. It is funny to watch this age play because they are like a bee swarm. They all follow the ball and move all around the field this way. I started playing at 5 and its funny to think this is what my parents had to come and watch on Saturday mornings.
Our friends left yesterday and went back home :( We miss them already.
But Jared's aunt came in town today to help take care of the big baby and we are all very excited! Hopefully I can get some cleaning done since we have another "mom" at the house to wait on the whiner hand and foot :)
Our most exciting news this week is that Chase lost his 2 front teeth :) I dont have any pics of it, but I'll take some this week. He has been waiting forever for these little guys to fall out. He couldnt be more excited!! They fell out like a day apart. It was funny...so now his favorite song is "All I want for Christmas is..." He also has a third tooth that is loose that he has been working on for about 3 days now. So hopefully that one will come out soon too. The tooth fairy is going to go broke soon at my house, but we are very happy to get rid of his bad baby teeth and get some new ones in that he can take care of the right way!!!!!
Anyway like I said at the beginning...very busy week at our house and I have a feeling things will be much easier this week now that Mimi Marg is here to help :)
