I'll be brief today.  It's late and I've got to massage my lump still, take some pills, try to relax so I can sleep (ya, right.).  It's been an emotional day today.  The fever came on earlier in the day than normal (this is normal?!).  I guess having Mat go back to work on Monday is getting to me.  He's been such a great support and help.  Can I do it without him?  My left arm is still weak and when I use it too much, it hurts.  I still have a section of my incision that is bulging from the hemotoma and oozing (I'm not sure if that is the right word) stuff.  I don't want to cause any problems by doing too much, i.e. carrying the baby around all day.  I've recruited helpers for most of next week.  But I don't want to be a pain or a problem to my neighbors, family and friends.  Ugh.

Isaac and I went to lunch with my family today.  Mom insists it is a tradition to go on New Years Day.  : )   My parents, Val and Dan, and Kari and family were all there.  I was so hammered when I got home, I took a long nap and woke up with a fever.  Mat's parents fed us dinner tonight and then Mat and I went to see "Where The Wild Things Are".  The book is better than the movie (isn't it always?).  It was kind-of dark and chaotic to me.  But, it was great to get a date with Mat!  I can't remember the last time we went to a movie in a theater.
