4th of July

Happy Fourth of July to everyone out there. We hope you had a good one. Our's was pretty subdued but that is okay with us. The day after surgery isn't what I thought. I'm having quite a bit of pain & discomfort today. I'm guessing all the good stuff from anesthesia is out of my system so I'm feeling all the work they did. The pain is pretty much localized around my belly button which is where the hernia repair was done. Corey has been wonderful and is doing a good job at taking care of me, the kids, the animals & the house. I'm hoping tomorrow is a better day as far as post-op pain is concerned.

After dinner he took the kids outside and set off some of the fireworks that we had leftover from last year. Some neighbors were doing some on the cul-de-sac so they walked over to enjoy those. I chatted with our corner neighbors and we all got together and set off their fireworks. Just as we finished the official fireworks started in the county park (which is very close to us) and we got to watch them from our front yard.
