Reflections

Hello friends and family,

   It's been a week since I've sad goodbye to 9 inches of my intestines! And I appear to be all the much better for it!! It's been great to be home these last few days. It's amazing how much you can appreciate the little things of your own space until you spend some time away. The feeling is similar to going on a week vacation , but when you come home to your own bed and sheets-- you feel so happy and content. All the traveling across the globe can't take away the happiness felt from placing your feet into the clean sheets you placed on the bed before you left. Any, I digress from the reason for this blog post.

I wanted to write to you all and tell you how grateful I am for all of you. I am thankful for your willing to read my story and therefore become part of my story. By reading, my sending your thoughts, prayers and good will my way, you impacted my illness and hospital stay. I truly believe that the surgery procedure went to well due to all of your good thought and prayers. Compared to my usual nervous self, I really was not an anxious person in the hospital. I wasn't worried and I slept really unusually well.

So, thank you for caring for me from afar. I so appreciate it.
