Okay, I’ve been MIA for a few days, but I have good excuses. The Man had surgery on Thursday (he’s recovering fine) and my doctor upped me to Vicodin. I still hurt, but lack the energy to whine about it, which is probably a net improvement. In celebration of that small gain, have an open trackback post! And a snapshot of how blessed I really am:
10k gold men’s wedding ring, purchased at Walmart in 1992 when we were barely scraping by financially – $40.
Price adjusted for inflation – $55.86
Having that ring be the first thing my husband asked for in the surgical recovery room – PRICELESS
I am the luckiest woman alive.

I was the same way the day after I had to have emergency surgery last April. Along with my engagement and wedding ring, my husband has given me rings for each of our 3 kids, a promise ring and one for our first valentines. Hope both of you feel better soon!
I hope you both feel better soon, as well! And you are definitely blessed.
What a blessing! Here’s to hoping you feel better soon!
My husband refused to wear a ring, so you are bless
I pray he has a speedy recovery.
The Vicodin works well… I have a friend who broke his back 16 years ago on his way home from a S. Dakota deer hunt (major automobile rollover and through the windshield). He uses it on bad days, but it is very addictive in large dosages.
Best to you for a speedy improvement.
The Vicodin does work pretty well – I actually slept decently last night, usually pain keeps me up. When I asked my doc about getting addicted he said, “Doesn’t matter, you’ll be on it the rest of your life anyway.” ?! I can’t accept that. But I’ll let it ride for now. Now if my hair would just stop falling out, I’d be all set.
