Update, Update, back surgery done

Good Morning Family, Friends & Guest,

Back surgery is done.  Thank the Lord.  Yesterday was so very hard on me.  I felt the hand of God on my shoulder and I could see it in my mines I, but I still couldn't shake the fear.  Jose the preacher was here delivering my oxygen and prayed with me and he said.  "If you are going to Pray why worry and if you are going to Worry why Pray!"  Makes perfect sense, but so very hard to do.

I am early calling the surgery a success, I feel like I have been run over by a truck, not to mention the exhastion, but the pain is in a new place and localized to the left side, so I am calling it surgery pain,  I slept most of the night, but did get up at 5:00 for pain medicine and could not return to sleep even with the ativan.  At 6:30 I took my morning meds and Sally and I shared our usual Pop Tart breakfast.  Sadly I have to give her my favorite part (edges) to try to keep the sugar she gets down.  We only like the brown sugar cinnimon Pop Tarts.  Did you know a serving size is 1 pop tart, yet they package them in 2s -tricky.

I have the best husband/care giver in the whole world.  He is patient and kind.  He has chosen to stay home today with me and truly, I am glad to have him.   I had thought of asking him, but didn't.  I can't lift more than 2 lbs and walking is still a real chore.  I am going to ask him to bake the preacher cake as he seems a little bored.  I love him ever so much.

My plan for the day is to rest.  Research Skype and how it works and research a place to stay at Sleeping Bear Dunes at the end of the month.,
