Battery Change

Tim is finally getting his pacemaker battery changed this morning. He is quite proud of the fact that it lasted for nine years, longer than any other man's pacemaker battery.

I guess it is a guy thing.

He is also excited to be getting a cutting-edge, newer high-tech version. Also, a guy thing.

A most considerate friend is driving him to the hospital, so I don't have to haul the kids out of bed at 5:00am. I feel a little guilty not to be waiting in the waiting room for him, but Annie is sick, so I don't have a babysitter.

I don't want to infect any of the grandparents with a fever/cough thing right now.

It's a lot different from when he originally had the pacemaker put in nine years ago. We had just lost a friend to cancer, and I was sure he was going to die and leave me a widow with three kids under the age of five and no job.

When the nurse came to tell me he was out of surgery and everything went fine, I was stunned.

This time around, we have been through so many surgeries, even my normally pessimistic mind can't work up too much worry.

I also have learned a lot about putting it all in God's hands and not taking it upon myself to worry.

So I am off to sleep for now...:)
