The other side of the pillow

It's been 2 weeks since Chris's elbow surgery. When he first came home, he had instructions to keep it elevated, so he propped it up with a pillow. Now I understand how he felt all those many months I needed to have a pillow jammed between us in the bed...it takes up a bunch of space and it's pretty annoying! :-P

Having Chris's elbow out of commission means that I've been doing the lion's share of taking care of Cameron. I'm the one who has to pick him up out of the crib, put him down in the crib, put him in the car seat, carry the car seat to the car, lift the car seat out of the car, etc. I'm not bitter about it; it's just what needs to be done while Chris recovers. But boy, since doing all this work has coincided with me going back to work at the office, I'm one tired mama.

Chris has picked Cam up a few times (which is actually against doctor's orders), but he still has a lot of healing to do. The doctor says he needs to get full range of motion back in his elbow before he lifts anything. Hopefully some PT appointments will help whip him back into shape!
