I boiled my dozen of eggs yesterday, had the dye pack ready to open, and company showed up. Almost three hours later, said company left, and I was exhausted. My eggs remain colorless, and as of this morning, Easter morning, I've made the decision to save my dye for next year and go ahead and make egg salad with my boiled eggs. ☺️. I have had a lot of exhaustion this week, and have spent more time on my bed the last few days than I have in who knows how long. I think the surgery, etc, is finally catching up with me. My friend that helped me get through the surgery and the 2 weeks post surgery, left on Friday to go back to her home. What would we do without friends that step into the trenches with us when our family has aged out? LOL. Eternally grateful to this particular friend. She's now done one extreme open heart surgery with me and was with me over a month for that ordeal, and now the cervical decompression surgery. And then there are the friends and neighbors that have spoiled me rotten the last few weeks here at home. :).
I have recovered from the surgery itself really quickly, and some of the immediate results of getting the bone off of the spinal cord were quite startling. My eyes opened up again, and almost immediately I could breathe again, as well as walk, talk and breathe at the same time. I can't even begin to tell you how much of the life had literally drained out of me prior to this surgery. So many many benefits that I'm so grateful for. There may be residual damage but we won't know what or if for a long time. Unfortunately, I had a couple of episodes with v-tach with my heart while I was in the hospital, and the last week has progressively gotten worse with my heart rates. So I'm sure that I will end up with a heart monitor this coming week, and who knows what will be the next heart issue. To say that I'm hugely disappointed by this heart thing is an understatement. But what can you do? My body decided to do major break downs and so far they are big ones. I can only try to roll with the punches, do what I can to repair what crops up, and try to learn to live with the handicaps that I may have after all of that.
I hope everyone has had a lovely Easter week/Sunday. It's been a beautiful day here, and I've spent part of it outside on the deck with the lovely pansies, and part of it on the bed. LOL

I wish your cmpany had colored the eggs for you. It would have gotten done, and maybe you would not have been so exhausted when they left. Hope the heart settles down, because the other stuff sounds really good.
