"This juice is even better than Grandma Janet's."



That was the first thing Violet said after they brought her into the room from recovery. Her voice was hoarse and scratchy from being intubated. She was pretty out of it for a while and didn't smile right away. She had two root canals with crowns, two fillings, and four sealants. She has not had any soreness and returned to her normal self after a trip to McDonald's.

The kids and I came to our hometown yesterday. Nate is staying in home for his post-op followup and won't be up until Tuesday afternoon. He is doing better and having less pain. At his followup he will find out exactly how much movement he is permitted and what recovery/therapy will look like.

I am hoping to do some Christmas baking today and get a little shopping done (I went Christmas shopping for the 1st time yesterday in between nursing).

That's hilarious! Hope all is well and that you are getting some rest.

Is that literal juice or figurative juice? If she's referring to the anesthetic when she says juice, I want to know what kind of juice Grandma Janet is serving!

I need some Christmas pics. I bet Edison has grown so much.
