Hospital gowns and oxygen tubes are soooo sexy.
I just had my 4th vein annihilation surgery this week.  They only took care of one vein this time around, although they went through my jugular.  In June of 2011, they embollized my left gonadal veins (which is now just one, as it's supposed to be), but this time they embollized my right gonadal vein.  It was really big, apparently.  I'm hoping this takes care of the pelvic congestion I experience at certain times.  It's been five days since my surgery, but I am really dizzy.  Doctors tell me to drink more fluid.  More and more and more. 

Captain gets home in a few weeks.  It's gone by so fast.  Little Rhoda is 14 weeks old now.  I wish she would stop growing up-- I just love her.  My other kids are being knot heads during my recovery.  Thank goodness Nana is here to help me.  I just love her.

We've stayed healthy and happy during his deployment, but I'm excited to have husband back.  I can't wait for him to meet our little Punkin!  And for us to find a new normal with his return.

I can't even stand it. Thanks for being you for me. xoxo, Melissa
