Still a small leak. Trying not to cry.

Going to the leak test now. HEAL, BABY, HEAL!!!!!!

Just keep swimming... Dorie of Finding Nemo

The leak in question has healed but another small leak was discovered. Seriously - what the heck?  Wait and see. Wait...

back from surgery

I am back in my room after surgey. I've been up and walking - Yea, Go Me!

Have not heard yet about what the Dr found. Maybe they told me right out of surgery and I cannot remember.

My throat is hoarse and dry. So please don't call right now. I'll turn on chat on facebook. Please just know I am going in and out of a sleepy state.

Loving the prayers!

toes

I count my long, grippy monkey toes as a blessing!

September Already?

Let's start with some cutie pie news......

Red accessories are HOT HOT HOT this Fall for piggies

Fix A Flat

I'm still in the hospital trying to heal this leak. Tomorrow morning at 7am I will have surgery to repair the leak. Finally, a date, a target that I will most likely be able to start sipping water again! Besides the popsicles, tablespoons cream of wheat, and mashed potatoes I had a few days after the major surgery, I have not eaten since Aug 16. Dr. Oz talks about resetting your taste buds in about 21 days. I will be so reset and ready. I miss water. Dude.

During times like these, after days of suffering, weeks of pain, and years of untangling my soul from the toxic exposure of my dad,

my heart seeks refuge in the shadow of a few remarkable, Godly, amazing women.

You give me love, never harsh words.

You lift me in prayer, not manipulation.

You gently take my face in your hands and point it towards my Savior, never leading me into self abuse.

My one true wish is to see myself as God sees me.

Because of you, that is becoming a reality.

Not just a number on the scale but believing I am worthy of self care.

Because I have always seen kindness in your eyes that I don't see when I look at myself.

I am so blessed to get do life with you!

Thank you for all you have done to help me and my family.

What is even more amazing is where we met. The pain of life brought us together.

And in the case of Jackie - the pain of K n' W - lol

Jodi made this amazing journal photobook and gave it to me today.

If you Google 'Supportive Friend' you will find Jodi.

A Fresh Day

So Friday I had a drain put in to clear off whatever my leak was creating. Getting used to such a strange little critter has been strange. Very painful as well.

But this morning the drain is all fresh and I had a shower so I feel pretty good.

Tomorrow I have another leak / swallow tomorrow. I will show how much healing I've made. To drink again would be such a blessing! Maybe like a frozen crystal light slurpee thing? Huh, huh??

My sister stopped by to see me yesterday. We had a fabulous visit.

Jodi also came by with a special little visitor - Billy! He is just preciuos, all brave, so sweet & happy to see me, yet just curiuos little monkey he is!

Bill & Billy are coming today. Yea!!!!!
