Still kicking

Here I sit in my bed at Redlands Community Hospital on the other side of my surgery. I can't beieve how little pain I'm experiencing given the size of the incision. Everything went well EXCEPT Dr. Rau told Brad the lymph nodes he removed looked like Hodgkin's nodes, not scar tissue or inflammation from an infection. Definitely NOT what we were hoping to hear. No comes the long wait - until we get the pathology report. Sigh. On the bright side, as I said, the pain is minimal and I was able to walk around the floor twice with Brad and I can get in and out of bed on my own. Because I'm doing so well Dr. Rau bumped me up to solid food. Yeah, no broth and jello. :) Renee and Brad have. Other brought me the most lovely flowers and my BFF Carole will be here around noon for a visit. Its wonderful to have so many great friends. In addition to visits from Carole, Bud and Renee I have heard from Lori Arnold, Sara Jane Mclennon and Jackie B. Ok, so when will they spring me from this joint??
