Successful surgery

I decided to create a blog, so that my friends from church, my family, and friends around the country, could all know what is going on with me.Surgery was 730 AM on Monday, and I understand it went very well. They were able to remove the whole cyst, and only a small piece of healthy tissue had to be removed.

I am actually doing quite well right now. I was able to get up in my wheelchair for about 15 minutes this morning. It's funny how such a seemingly little thing can make me feel so much better. I guess that's what I learn when I am in the hospital. Life slows down so much that I take pleasure of the smallest things. Eating solid foods, sitting up briefly in my wheelchair..small signs that things are getting better.

Having my computer in my hospital room is a real blessing. I can reach the 'outside' world in a manner of seconds.

Please forgive typos. I have a monitor attached to a finger, so it is harder to type.

Feel free to post comments to this blog. I hope to continue this daily through the next month or so, as a way of chronicling my progress, and sharing prayer needs and praises.

I hope all is well with you as we celebrate this Christmas season together!

Peace,
Sarah

Not a bad way to communicate, eh? Glad you're feeling better. I'll check your blog from time to time to see how things are going.
Love,
Dad

Hey Sarah, this will be one of my first official blog responses. I think I've posted something on Chris Walker's and maybe one of Kathy's many cousins'. Anyway, glad to see you taking advantage of this. I'm sure you could offer quite an interesting commentary from your position. Look forward to reading more...

Hi, sweetie. Glad to hear it went well and that you are home at your mom's already!

My eye surgery was horrendous. I don't remember it because they gave me some junk called propofol which made me hallucinate like mad. I got disoriented, claustrophobic, didn't want them to drape my face, didn't want shots, didn't want to be anywhere near there, and they had to (gasp) TIE ME DOWN! Come to find out it's the same stuff they use on animals and also on convicts before lethal injection. My eye surgeon said never never never never never let anyone give it to me again. Now I have a huge shiner (5 days later) from where he injected the local around my eye socket. Lovely!

Anyway, your Neopets goodies are accumulating. Hope to see you back there and on the other site soon!

xoxo
Jewels
