I've been trying to figure out how to put my thoughts into words over the past few days. 2016 has started by throwing us a curveball. Without going into too much detail, after spending a week in pain and unable to function, my husband ended up having to have surgery. I am so thankful to have him home and recovering and really this blog is a shout out to the man, that I know I've taken for granted from time to time.
Now that my husband is on a weight restriction until further notice, I've come to realize just how much my husband really does for myself and the kids. I've been holding down our fort for the past week and I didn't realize just how much he does. He has a job that requires a lot of his time, yet he still finds time to help me with the kids, take out the trash, fix things around the house, maintain the yard work, etc. Now that I'm doing it all on my own as well as taking care of him as he recovers, I have realized just how lucky that I am to have such a caring, loving husband and father to our children.
I've shed some tears of frustration and apprehension over the past few days as I take on the everyday tasks of raising a family and maintaining our household solo. The apprehension comes along with knowing that a large medical bill is headed our way in the future and wondering how that is going to fit into our budget. We had finally caught up on medical expenses and thought we were moving on. Now we embark on a new financial challenge. I'm hoping our insurance is generous in what it chooses to cover. It's amazing that you can have what is considered some of the best medical insurance around, yet it's still a challenge to handle the remaining balance. I'm sure so many of you can relate.
I am not asking for pity here. As a dear friend of mine stated, I have a "good track record of handling trying times". I know that we will get through this.....together. And the together is the important part. So with that being said, we are moving forward in 2016.
