Good day yesterday-thanks to my "driver" Janie, I was able to shuffle around Target for a little while. It felt soo good to get out and be with people, plus, I love me some Target. I'm feeling really good post surgery. No pain at all; in fact, since I've been home, I've taken one 5mg pain pill, and I split that in half; 1/2 when I got home, the other 1/2 when I went to bed that night. I hate the side effects of narcotics, so if I can get by without them, why bother?

So, I have my PT Scan on Monday at 2:00 at the Oncologists office. I must admit, I'm a little nervous that this evil thing has spread further, but at the same time, I feel God's presence so strongly, that I know that even if it has spread, he will care for me. On Wednesday of next week, I meet with the Oncologist for the first time. She came into my hospital room post surgery, but I was so out of it, she was just a blur. I do know that she told me family that my cancer is definitely treatable and possibly curable, so that's good news. Let's just pray that this is still the case after the PT on Monday.

I'm excited about a little trip to the mall tonight for a pedi. I can't bend that far for that long with a big incision right in the middle of my belly, so my sweet husband agreed that we could go do that later.

The incision is healing well, so the leak that I sprung on Wednesday was no big deal. I need my digestive system to regain some sort of normalcy, please. I've had a few bouts with wicked acid refulx and the old bowels are quite right (sorry, TMI). I wonder how long it will take for my belly to get right with a foot less colon? The surgeon says that just because I feel good, doesn't mean that I'm healed inside. What's taking so long?? I'm impatient, I need to wait, but it's hard.

Enough ramblings for now. Can't wait to go to church tomorrow, it's been three weeks since I've been and I miss everyone. We were on vacation for two of those weeks, and I was just home from the hopsital last week, and too tired and weak to go. Our good friend, Jason Collins is preaching tomorrow. He's in Seminary in Wisconsin, but home for the summer. It'll be great hearing his message. I'll post again Monday after the PT and then again after the meeting with the Oncologist on Wednesday. Keep up all of the prayers-I feel them. Love to all.
