Hi everyone! Wow - it's Thursday already. Didn't get much sleep Tuesday as the Vicodin seemed to amp me out. So I stopped taking that yesterday and took my Lunesta last nite - turned in at 9 out at 6:45!!! Yeah - that's a good night's sleep. I am in very little pain right now but seem to have head congestion and sneezing (probably from my dear mom-in-law who played "Dr" with her face mask on so she could be with me -- THANKS Carol (just kidding) )
But I'm doing Zicam and Emer-Gen-C vitamins. Am only taking Advil for pain as needed now. My muscles were aching and my throat sore too - all post surgical reactions - but nothing that sitting in your pajamas for a day (or another day) won't cure.
I cannot tell you how very much I am sure that your thoughts and prayers guided my surgeons hands and all of those who came in contact with me that day during surgery. I had the most wonderful care givers - Linda and Donna in ASU, my surgical nurse Tammy who looked like Callie O'Mallie from Grey's and another Linda in surgery with me and Carlos my anesthesiologist. And Dr. Shaikh once again proved his amazing skills. What a kind, caring and competent doctor he is.
I have two incisions - I had originally thought one - and about 20 staples. We see Dr. Shaikh on the 7th at 1pm for pathology so until then - I won't have any "real" medical news to share with you.
The camp witch sisters where here yesterday to visit me along with our special friend Cat and Annie came too. They brought me tons of yummy things to eat and a pillow for my arm and great conversation. I am so very blessed to have such wonderful friends in my life.
I got an hour before the boys get up - maybe I'll have coffee in the quiet and do some positive reflection. Thanks again - all our friends -- for caring about me.

Okay lets try again. Well Belinda I guess you are back to normal. I didn't sneeze so you must have gotten that from someone who wasn't wearing a mask. I should have worn one of Treasa's scrubs and I would have been unnoticable. My hands have never been so sterile. Keep getting better talk to you later. Loveya Mom
