Monday, November 20 - I was really super nervous about being awake for this cyst removal so I had mom come over early this morning, we did her nails, and then she took me to my appointment. It was actually really quick and pretty painless! I was awake and just laying on a chair (like a dentist chair) and they had my arm draped over a side table. They put it through a sterile sheet, sterilized my arm, then cut into it. I felt the pulling and tugging but it didn't hurt and it only took about 10 minutes. I felt bad making mom come for this. I would have been fine to drive myself home after but we went to the Cheesecake Factory and shared a salad so that was a win! She also brought dinner out so Nick put that together later tonight and I was able to rest and relax all evening. My family really is the best!
Tuesday, November 21 - Ricki's grade had the Mountain Man unit in Social Studies and today it ended with a rendezvous. They played games and had a old fashioned party! I went to lunch with Meg, Marisa, and Jenni but my hand is really pretty sore so after being out for a few hours, I was ready to go home and nap. Sweet Marisa showed up at our door at 5:00 with dinner! It was a total surprise but I was very relieved. I am in more pain than I had anticipated so not having to stress about dinner was magnificent! I am so blessed by these angels!
Wednesday, November 22 - My knuckles are so very swollen! I really can't move my fingers much...they just don't work. I can tell that my fingers are bruised but the whole back of my hand feels bruised. I can't take the bandages off yet to look but I'll be interested to see what it looks like under the wrap. This has been a bit more painful than I remember with my left hand. It's also hard trying to get anything done with only my left hand.
Thursday, November 23 - Happy Thanksgiving!! We had a pretty lazy morning. Simon and Nick prepped the rolls for dinner since I'm still not functioning with my hand. We watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade then Simon went downstairs with Zack to play some throwback Nintendo games. Dinner this year was at the Pearson's and although I failed to get any good pictures, I did capture this moment. Nick was showing us how you can put whipping cream on the back of your hand, pop it up, and catch it in your mouth. He did it once without fail but then when he went to show more kids, he popped it up and it plopped right on the ceiling! We were all dying of laughter! He's such a funny guy! It was a fun and memorable day!
Friday, November 24 - We slept in a little this morning then Kendra and I took off to do some Black Friday shopping. We went to a few stores in Mountain View Village then met up with mom, Jenni, Halle, and Brielle at Walmart. We didn't do much shopping. I enjoy doing most of my shopping online. :) I am able to be without the wrapping on my wrist now and I was correct, my hand is very bruised!
Saturday, November 25 - We spent a lot of time putting Christmas up today. We went to dinner as a family to Chili's and then we headed to Zack's indoor soccer game. We lost, darn it. But it was fun to be there with Grandma Sandi, Ryan, Ashley, and the kids. :)
Sunday, November 26 - Ricki wanted cute Christmas nails so this is what we came up with. Welcome Christmas season!
