I can’t believe it’s been almost two days since my last post! I could sit here and apologize profusely but instead I’ll just say that life got in the way.
In case you missed it, Bo and a very sharp knife had an ugly meeting on Saturday while making guacamole at a friends house. The moral of that story was to always use a cutting board and the proper knife.
Yesterday, I was able to be the wife that I strive to be on a daily basis. I was at Bo’s side when he came out of surgery even though I was missing the biggest meeting of the year at work. Yesterday I chose to put family first and nothing has ever felt better.
Even though the surgery was minor, the first kiss after he came out of surgery and awoke from the anesthesia was priceless.
But, the doctor couldn’t finish the repair on Saturday and therefore decided to book a full reconstructive surgery for Thursday morning. Bo spent an hour under general anesthesia while his doctor repaired the severed nerve and thumb damage. Hopefully, within six months, his thumb will be just like new.
Bless his heart, yesterday due to surgery delays he ended up going without almost 22 hours without food. Needless to say, a Delfonte’s hot Italian sandwich was the key to his heart after surgery!
Unfortunately, in the mean time it means he has to wear a brace and can’t bend or get his thumb wet for three weeks. This means he can’t rock the NYRR Sprint Triathlon next weekend which is a shame since he has trained for two months and was super excited. Anyone want his bib?
In between nurse duty, worrying, and work I’ve spent the rest of the time sweating it out at the gym or enjoying the gorgeous New York City weather with morning and afternoon fruit stand walks.
The summer months bring fruit stands that are alive and thriving on every corner in New York City.
Before I head out to catch Harry Potter with our friends, I want to share the winner of this week’s giveaway: Denise!
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you tomorrow morning after the Central Park 4 miler!
Nice pic of the side plank! Looks pretty badass! Hope Bo is feeling better!
Kali: Thanks!! For some reason, I’m super strong in that area.
I didn’t see the band at first in that second gym picture and was like, “how is she FLOATING??” Heh.
Ha…I didn’t see the band either. Even when I tried to find it. Cool pic.
Lauren: Yup the TRX band is there. Trust me, I’m not that good! Thanks 🙂
Kimra: Oh yes, the band was there! I’m not a floating gym fairy! I promise 🙂
Glad Bo made it out of surgery fine and dandy! Wishing him a speedy recovery! Happy weekend!
Jane: Thanks for the good wishes!
so glad bo is all better!
Sana: Thanks!!!
I hope Bo feels better soon!! That sounds like a pretty nasty injury!! I wish we had fruit stands in Dallas! 🙂
Lauren: Thanks! He’s healing quickly and already in far less pain!
Wife of the Year! 🙂 Hope he’s feeling better!
