Back to normal!

Jeremy's surgery and recovery has gone swimmingly well. There have been a few little difficulties here and there, but nothing insurmountable. So we're both back to work in our respective offices today, armed with a list of physical therapy appointments a mile long. This mainly affects me in that for the time being, I'm the only one in our household driving. So I've shifted my work schedule a smidgen to be able to come in late some days and leave early on other days to drive him to his appointments.

One thing this whole process has convinced me? It's gonna be a while before I think about getting back on skates. I stopped reffing for adults about a year ago. I stopped reffing for junior derby a few months back. I'm only doing non-skating officiating now, and I haven't even been to the rink for fun. Ultimately, I stopped because it seemed like skating hurt every time I tried, and also because I was enjoying NSOing a lot. I also am paranoid of getting hurt, and Jeremy's surgery has just reinforced that in my head. And while I'm fully aware that I could suffer a similar injury without having skates on my feet, I figure it's best not to tempt fate.

Still hanging on to my skates for a while longer, just in case I change my mind. But the odds of that keep decreasing...

A possible short break

The hubbie is having surgery tomorrow on his elbow, carpal tunnel, and cubital (sp?) tunnel. The surgeon says that he may need to stay home from work for up to a week. Since I'm going to be taking over the chores he does around the house for that time, and also because he may need other help with making his meals and such, I'm going to be working from home for as long as he's off work. This means I probably won't be posting here a whole lot, since I usually do most of my posts here either when I get to work half an hour early or during my lunch break. There will be End of the Work Week Wisdom, though... possibly more than one, if the hubbie says anything truly ridiculous while on pain meds. :)
