Pinewood Derby 2009

The week before my surgery I went to Konner's very last Pine Wood Derby! It was a lot of fun to see how it was all set up and see all the boys having so much fun!

Here some of the boys waiting around before the start of the derby

All the boys posing for a picture!

Konner being the flag at the end of the race

Konner's car didn't place but he was completely fine with that, in fact all he told my dad while they were making the car was he didn't care if it won he just wanted it to look cool! So Konner was very excited to win this award!



Here is a better picture of Konner's tank car! Isn't it awesome!



And lastly Konner with his car and award at the end of the derby!

Surgery!

Well as you all know I had my surgery on Monday and I am doing so beyond fabulous you would have thought I had it weeks ago! But trust me there is still a lot of healing and waiting left! But I would like to say thank you to everyone who had me in their thoughts and prayers, put me on Temple prayer roles, called, text, came over, and everything else you did for me and my family during this time! I feel truly loved and blessed to have such amazing people and their love and support!!

So with that I bring you pictures my family took the day of my surgery and then a special and kinda gross one they took yesterday!

First here I am sitting after getting all checked in and waiting for the Pre-Op nurse to come and get me and the other patients waiting.



Here I am in Pre-Op just all dressed up with my fabulous surgical hat. This was about five minutes before my parents said good-bye and they rolled me into the ice block of a operating room!

This is what my family does while their are waiting for my surgery to get done with. Konner took this picture and as you can see my dad is asleep with his head under the chair in the green and brown blanket, Karli is center listening to her MP3 player in the orange camo blanket, and my mom is laying in the chairs in the green and blue dot blanket.

This is how Ducky passes the time, with his PSP! Llama has to work that morning so he didn't come with us.



And here I am after surgery up in my room with my awesome nurse Sandy!! She has been my nurse before and she knew just what I need in the pain department and she told the doctor what to write! I think she is a lot of the reason I am doing so well and came home so soon!! And in true Kassi form my trusty surgery good luck charms Carmichael my stuff cat that is over 20 years old on my lap and my blanket that Great-Grandma Hunt made me when I was born is behind my head. I have never had a surgery without them going to the hospital with me and I don't plan on ever changing that!



Here are my poor piggies in the most annoying machine ever! It is a ankle pumper and one of these wraps go on each foot and it switches off pumping up each wrap to help with circulation. I understand how important it is but I hated them being on my feet! But then again I don't like many things on my feet!

Okay before I show you this last picture let me warn you that if you have a weak stomach don't look at it! It is a picture of my surgery site! Consider this your disclaimer!!

This was taken yesterday because my mom thought it was awesome! This is my new scar! Made out of some old scar and new! Yes the yellow, black, blue, purple, and red is bruises! But for those of you out there that work in the medical field doesn't this look just completely awesome! Even my home health/PT lady that was here yesterday and looked at it thought it looked so good for just being done on Monday! And it really doesn't look this bad in real life. The lighting was bad and the camera adds about ten times the gore onto things!


So there you go my surgery up date! Thank you all again for everything you have done and continue to do for me and my family during this time

In the Wagon

The other day I was in the kitchen finishing up making cookies and I was listening to the daycare kids outside. They were arguing over who's turn it was next the wagon with Dylan. So as I was listening I decided something. I went outside and declared that it was my turn in the wagon with Dylan. So I climbed in completely thinking that their was no way they were going to be able to pull or push me in the wagon. Boy was I wrong!

Those kids had a blast and push and pulled Dylan and me all over the backyard and everytime I went to get out they all kept saying just one more circle Kassi! Now they think that it is a great game and they ask me everyday if I want to get in the wagon
