Daddio: I'm Tired of Blogging About Surgery

I really am.  Long story short-- I feel completely better, the doctor thinks I've beat the infection but (as you would expect) there's still a chance it might come back in the next week.  I don't have the motivation to worry about it anymore, so I'm not going to.  I feel better and the doctor says I don't have an infection, so guess what?  I think I'm all better!  Of course, once I get that all clear from the doctor in two and a half weeks, I'll post that up too and hopefully we can put an end to this whole chapter of our lives.

In happier news, we had a normal weekend this weekend (or at least something that constitutes "normal" for a family of ten).  I made Jen come up with a list of stuff that I could get done around the house and on Sunday I finished the whole list.  I assembled some shelves, put in a new toilet paper holder in the kids bathroom, fixed something on our main fridge, fixed the fondue fork I dropped in the lint collector of our dryer (don't ask), and a bunch of other small stuff that's been building up.  It felt good to get back into the swing of things and get some stuff done.  I think (fingerscrossedfingerscrossedfingerscrossed) that we've finally turned a corner on this whole hernia/infection thing.
