Asking for help.....

Surgery day is here and I am filled with anxiety. Being an orthopaedic nurse for several years, I was always on the other side caring for my patients and reassuring them everything will be ok. Now it is my turn to release my fears and realize I need to reach out to my family and friends for support during this long recovery. This is all new for me since I am the "care-taker" and very seldom ask for help but I know in order to heal properly I need to just be the "Patient". 
I am so thank for my mom who has jumped in and taking over care of Lexi and my home. I am excited my shoulder is being repaired and can't want for a wonderful summer. 


Moms- remember we all need help and support at some point...you just have to ask. :)
