I am a Mom too! I have been reduced to filling ice trays & doing
laundry. If I do too much, it is back to bed for me, although, I am
never carried! LOL My husband does most of the cooking & the kids do the
rest. I also can't do the dishes, any more, I have trouble standing for
very long. My mother in law, who normally does NOTHING for my family is
at least going to cook a couple of meals for them while I am having
surgery & being in the hospital. I even debated about telling her about
it, but I figured she would cook for them while I am out of the picture.
I told her that her son would appreciate it, since after working all day
he wouldn't have to cook when he came home. She just doesn't really
think he does most everything done around the house. Our 2 kids that
are at home are teenagers, they don't do anything they don't have to!
LOL
love
