Happy Birthday!!!

Today I am 35 years old!! Wow!! It may seem old..but really..I am still young!!LOL Ha! Ha!!
I had a busy day!! I took the kids to school and then my mom took me to eat at Bob Evans. I also had two doctor's appointments!! Our Homecoming Revival started tonight and then we got treated to McDonald's afterward by a family from church!
The greatest thing that happened today was I got rid of my last drain from surgery!! I had five after surgery and got rid of four of them after one week!! The last one I had for four weeks and two days!! I am so glad it is gone!! If you have ever had a drain after surgery, you know what I am talking about! I have to say, I was becoming quite creative with trying to conceal it in my clothes!!:)
I went and seen my co-workers today as well, since I was in the hospital for one of my doctor's visits!! I have been off work now for about seven weeks due to my gallbladder surgery and then my reconstruction surgery! It was the hospital's birthday today, too!! 100 years old!! (See, I am young!!):) They were having cake all over the hospital to celebrate! But, for their birthday, they have Joint Commission visiting for the week!!!:-/ Not a very good present I would say!! I am sooo glad I am not there!! For those of you who don't know, Joint Commission or JACHO conducts periodic unannounced surveys of Medical Centers. They give accreditation and certification that is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards. It can be quite stressful at the hospital while this is all going on!! People looking over your shoulder and asking a million questions! It was nice to see a few of my co-workers though and they were quite relaxed when I got there because they had already been through a round with the JACHO people and felt as if it had went well!! Which is a good thing!!:)
So, I made it through the day and I am quite tired so..................I think I better get to bed!!
