Bee is for BLESSED ...: Going home!

After my surgery, I spent the next three days recovering in my room at Huntington Hospital. I have to say, it's the best.hospital.ever. I love all the people who work there, the facility and even the room service food is not that bad. Mike stayed with me the entire time ... I told him he could go to Sunbeam and be with Zoe but he insisted on toughing it out on the cot next to my bed. I have the best husband ever! I wasnt' much company though ... I was drugged up a lot and kept sleeping. He, on the other hand, watched movies on Netflix on his computer and did some reading. We got daily visits from Zoe and my family. Monsignor Kevin even stopped by and brought dinner (I couldn't eat it though since I was still vomiting from the anesthesia). I did, however, have communion (all the food my body needs to heal). It was great having so many visitors and flowers and well wishes. A girl really couldn't ask for more! It was really strange to not be around Zoe ... I missed her like crazy! Tita Bot was great a reporting to me all of her activities ... apparently, Zoe had a great time without me! No more separation anxiety! She was fine with me not being around and not sleeping with me at night. Again, I am a firm believer that Zoe knew I had to be away from her ... she's a smart girl and was able to adjust to the situation and make the most out of it. Can you say resilient?!

I was discharged on July 16 and couldn't wait to go to Sunbeam to be with Zoe. Mike took Monday off so we were going to stay there the entire weekend so I can recover a little more before heading back to Oxnard. Zoe was pretty excited to see me and it took everything I had not to pick her up and hold her. I had to make sure I took care of my wound so that I could recover properly and get back to my normal life.

Here's some pics Tita Bot/Wowa took documenting their time together while mommy was in the hospital:
