I was so wired, literally and figuratively, that I wondered if I would be able to sleep. I finally turned off the light after midnight and slept for about three hours. I've been up since about 3:30. So far I've had two popsicles since dinner on Thursday evening and the notation on my whiteboard hasn't changed from "clear" yet. I could use aslice of toast!
Otherwise I'm doing fine. I love hearing the nurses' stories. Jessica moved to Minneapolis at the age of 8 from Idaho, where she was a Mexican migrant worker. Jessica's mother, who speaks little English, has had a hard life. She's also worked several of those physically demanding meatpacking jobs. Jessica graciously spoke Spanish with me and complimented me on my fluency, even though I still had that colorless sound thatt seems to characterize my speech after surgery. I think I'm better this morning and am losing that one-cocktail-too-many vibe.
I no longer have supplemental oxygen and my dressings have been changed. I do feel a little tired but I think that will pass. I'm hoping to check off occupational and physical therapy today. I'm overwhelmed by the positive energy and prayers everyone who has lifted me up these last few days. No one could ask for more!

I’m so glad to read that you are still being you! Chatting it up and caring about everyone! ❤️
My goodness! You are and have always been such a positive person. It is so nice to hear your words as you have graciously gone through such a tremendous ordeal. You are so lucky to have such a good family and friends network for that support. I really hope the doctors give you the best of news! You are such an inspiration and a wonderful person! Please take care and take time to allow the proper recovery. 🙏

Why are you looking so damn good after surgery? Just can't believe all that you're able to do so soon. Keep up the good fight. We're rooting for you.
