So glad to hear you are taking baby steps kicking that pain.  You know my prayers are with you, even if I am not on here for awhile.

Found out I have a lymphoma tumor in the parotid gland yesterday.  Please pray that the bone marrow shows nothing abnormal.   I am so exhausted the last 10 days, all I do is sleep, sleep and sleep.  I have no ambition to clean, cook or do laundry, care for my plants outside.  Good thing hubby is picking up my slack.  My daughters think I am getting depressed, I don't know any more.  I just want to get testing done, waiting done and treatment started [even if I loose all my hair]
Tomorrow I am going to get my hair done and have highlights put in, I feel a little drab!!  And I figure if I do loose hair I might as well have it done before and enjoy it.  I really took over you post,  sorry!!     :-[  ;) ;)

You have become such a dear friend to me I needed to tell all to you sassy girl!!  Got to go to do you guessed it SLEEP!
May our wonderful amazing Lord hold us in His arms as we rest to night.  May He also grant us more miracles than we deserve.

Oh...sweetie, you are very dear to me also...I am praying not just for a greater outcome for you, but for your peace of mind and your much needed rest at this time to.  I tend to stay awake most of the time. 

It is 12:28 pm here and I sit in another hotel room in Houston.  WE have had a much needed day away and went with my sister-in-law and her hubby.  He had a back consult appt, so e combined our trip.  I have two appointments tomorrow.

One with the surgeon, to have hopefully removed the stitch from the drain and the second with the pulmonary.  Well the 2.5 hour ride was a tad more painful than I thought it would be...but okay!  Went out to eat.

Then after 6 days of no drainage, I am sitting here and feel all this wet...Lung fluid is pouring  out of the wound.  I have nothing besides a towel that I have tied around my waist and to wait for tomorrow.. I brought NO dressings or bandages with me.   So, I am now what to do....

Sending prayers for both of us!!   Hold my hand with me and we will get thru this together, with the help of our many friends here!!!    ~sass~
