7 things and post-surgery

I feel like I've been kicked in the back by a large horse. I've never actually been kicked in the back by a horse before but I imagine it feeling rather similar to this. The surgery went well and i have no pain in my leg for the first time in over a year so this is a big step. I haven't seen the incision yet as it's covered by a rather large dressing but that needs to be changed on Monday so I'll see it then. And I'm going to have The Husband take a picture too. I might as well scrapbook a page about this right? :)

Anyway, Wendy over at Celiacs in the House tagged me to come up with 7 random things about myself and I've been thinking about this so here it goes:

1 - I co-own a baby store and information site online. It's based out of Alberta and is a year old now. It's a culmination of BFF-N (my partner in business) and my favourite things for our kids. www.naturalurbanmamas.com

2 - I loathe ironing. I cannot tell you how much I hate this appliance. I have owned 1 iron in my life and it was a gift. I think I've lost it. I'd rather wear wrinkled clothes than iron.

3 - I am just about an accredited La Leche League leader. I have 3 more classes of sorts and my preview and then I'm done. I should be officially accredited in early May.

4 - I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I have a computer science degree that I don't use at all and don't plan to use again. I write here and there for different things and was really loving my job in sales before kids but given that I don't plan on going back to work for a while, I think I have some time.

5 - I am a perpetual worrier. I worry about everything. I worry that I've upset people with my open thoughts. I worry about my kids. I worry about my husband. I worry about people in other parts of the world who might be suffering. I have a difficult time disconnecting myself from things and I'm working on it.

6 - My pain meds make me hallucinate. I've seen a lot of really crazy stuff over the last 24 hours. Most things crawling on my walls. It makes me laugh and certainly makes me aware that I am not yet ready to drive, or go back to my normal life just yet.

7 - I have insane obsessions with kicking the winter dirt off of wheel wells. You know that sludge that builds up behind the tires that's a combination of snow and dirt and ice? I have to kick it off our cars all the time. And I have to seriously resist the urge to kick other people's cars. I have thought of starting a self-help group for people like me but feel it might not be seen as a true issue..

And that's that. :)
