Hey my food storage friends!

I have a little story time today. 18 months ago I was playing in a co-ed hockey tournament and took a hard fall hitting my shoulder on the ice. After three months of thinking it would "get better" I finally went to the doctor to discover it was broken. I went through a long recovery, physical therapy, and even a cortisone injection after developing a frozen shoulder. 

Thinking I was healed I resumed my regular physical activity (yes including hockey). Then this summer I kept feeling like my shoulder would hurt every time I would play a game or do anything active so I went back to the doc, got an MRI and found out I had three pretty severe rotator cuff tears and need surgery. Being an active and very busy mama this was devastating news. I put it off as long as I could due to work obligations and kids' schedules but now the time has finally come.

A week from today I will be having surgery and will have to stay in a sling for 6-8 weeks unable to use my dominant hand at all. I am pretty worried about it and want to be as prepared as I can. So here is where you come in. 

Please give me all your freezer meal ideas and surgery recovery tips for a busy mom. I went through this with my son's ACL surgery but I'm not used to being the one who is the patient. I'm not very good at sitting still so this will be a challenge.  Pray for me! 🙏

And on that note, I also promised to give a last reminder about all the Black Friday sales since they are ending today on CYBER MONDAY!  Here is the round-up. I hope you find something to help you build your food storage.

There are two home freeze-driers on the market right now and both are having great sales this weekend. I have been doing a lot of research and have used the Harvest Right for a few years but am taking advantage of the Prep4Life sale and going to pick up a CUBE to test out and compare. 

If you take the plunge this year, let me know which one you decide to go with! I'm curious to hear what others are choosing.
