A few more lessons I have learned

Lets do another top 10.....things I have noticed since Hubby had his surgery!

10. I now get to take and then bring the garbage cans back in from the road (that use to be his job) not a fan of it.
9.  He kind of makes me nervous when he drives one handed (no scarier then the teenager talking on a cell phone I guess :)
8.  I have been spoiled--He always shoveled the snow, now that is my job too.
7. He only wears button up shirts now (for obvious reasons) I kind of miss the polo shirts.
6. He can't be my running partner for at least 3 months(once again I have been spoiled, he always stays at my pace and lets me lead the way)
5. I use to love getting the mail, now medical bills seem to fill the box
4. Ice packs are amazing pain killers
3. Some times he takes his brace off to relax his arm and he reminds me of an injured bird
2. When I make sticky buns (the kind you have to turn over onto a plate after they have cooked) his job was to flip them onto the plate, I had to do it today, and spilled half of the sauce on the stove :(
1. He now sleeps on the recliner (the angle helps his shoulder feel better) after 14 yrs of marriage I had no idea how warm he kept the bed.....I FREEZE AT NIGHT!

OK I am done ranting and raving....I have so many things to be thankful for, but there are days or weeks when you just need to get it all out in the open. Things are going to get better and all of this has helped me realize how lucky I am to have had a healthy hubby for so many years. Once again, I have learned my lesson and there is no need to repeat this :)

Oh, I would struggle so badly if Heath were out of commission. Best of luck to you both and I will pray for a speedy recovery!
