thanks all of u! 24 hrs later, the surgery went well. they said there could be a chance of nerve damage, but all looks good. someone was mentioning how close it was to an artery. I'm on a joyful, tired, cloud right now. So happy she's home. although, she has started with a lowgrade fever, I"m hoping the antibiotics r going to catch up. I have to monitor her tonight and call doc tomorrow if it gets higher.
3 pastors and a friend visited the hospital and hundreds of people were praying for her! Amazing. I'm so grateful.
as far as the pool, I can barely think about it right now but I kinda have to to some degree cuz I have a major goal to keep it going so that we can fill that hole with water before my kids fall in the hole! don't know why the retainer wall guys got it mixed up every time but the made the wall a bit longer than was on plan. a foot on one side and 2 feet on the other I think. I never wanted the wall and it seemed to my designer friend that if we did a beige block wall like the color of the block wall that is behind it, it might sort of blend in and go away between that and the plants i'm going to plant there. I guess we really need it so if I don't like it that much it is what it is. I can't imagine i'd have the guy fix it to the length on plan. it's not going to make a huge difference in the scheme of my 40 foot pool. I will still have lots of space to plant and who knows, maybe it'll give it some cool dimension. I don't know. pic is dark by the time we got home but hopefully folks can get an idea at where we're at.
freaked out by the tile when they started laying it but I always thought I would. if u see back to my initial dream pool idea i'm going after, though, I think i'm happy with the cobalt blue. I just always kept coming back to it. lots of plants will help and my rebar fence will hopefully add some spice, although it is a fence... I think it also looks a bit better in real life than the pic. there's still a lot to do in the yard, but I told the pb what happened to my daughter and that i'd like clean up asap and prob due to them thinking I might try and sue them or something, the jumped on it and cleaned up pretty well, although they prob left a big pile of cement and trash that was left and we might talk with them about that cuz it's a 3 x 2' blop of cement and plastic handles they probably buried less than 1' under ground. sometimes I don't know how much I should make a big deal over things like this. they also left a bit more dirt than was in the backyard and they didn't really take it all out.
im having a hard time staying awake and too lazy to proofread and see if I typed something strange cuz i'm literally falling asleep sitting up. i'll post this and look at repurcusions tomorrow.
thx again for prayer!!!
