R&R ~ Resting & Recovering

IMG_4948eMaisie’s been doing really well since her surgery and once she got over the nausea of the anesthesia, got a little sleep and food into her, she really felt fine.  The doctor had prescribed nice pain meds but Maisie thankfully has had no pain at all so other than an antibiotic she hasn’t needed any meds.  She has been just a little bit quieter than normal and each afternoon she’s chosen to nap or lay down for some quiet time but other than that you’d never know that she had surgery.  The most difficult thing for Maisie has been not being allowed to flip upside down as the girl is desperate to be in a handstand and loop around her bar.  Maisie’s counting the days until she’s allowed back in the gym and at this point so am I as she needs some activity. 

A big thank you to everyone for all the good wishes, prayers and thoughts for Maisie.  This Mama is glad that it all went well and that her surgery is over.  It will take a couple of weeks for the swelling to subside and then we’ll see how well the surgery worked.  We’re keeping our fingers crossed that this will be the end of Maisie’s sinus issues.

I really haven’t cooked much lately as Eammon’s been sick and Maisie really hasn’t wanted much so today I’m featuring a recipe that I posted on Cook Lisa Cook last July, Rolo Brownie Bites with Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting.  These are a perfect little two bite treat and always a hit when served.  Just a click on the link or the picture will take you to the recipe.
