I've been thinking ....I know...you can smell the burning! (everyone's a comedian!) Something happened in the hospital that I've been wondering about writing here....and now, I think I will.
The morning after my surgery, there was a really sweet medical assistant who came in after they disconnected the catheter and took the tens stockings off my legs and helped me clean up. There is nothing that feels better than to wash up after you've been lying in bed for 24 hours. She was the sweetest thing, and really worked hard to make me comfortable.
Anyways...this gal washed the betadine off me....yes, my rear end! And then helped me wash my face and get into my own gown instead of the hospital gown. Later on that day when I got to go home, she helped me get dressed and wheeled me downstairs where my husband was pulling the car up front. So, she helped me out of the wheel chair, and put me into the front seat of the car. And just before she closed the door, she said.........
"GOODBYE ANGEL!"
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it? Anyways, if she IS someone from here....I'd just like to say "thank you".

It's the hour of change,
The hour of you and me.
The time that we met
And chatted so frequently.
I look at the clock now and then.
And I wonder if you're there.
As I lay my head on my pillow,
I hope you know I care.

One Special Wish

Remember when you were a and you'd get to break the wishbone? And if you got the long piece....your wish would come true? There were five of us grandkids in my family vying for the wishbone. Today, I have no clue what criteria my grandmother used to decide which two of us got to try to break the wishbone. I just remember that she was always fair about it. And I remember that she believed in allowing to have the "magic" of wishing in their life. It's a part of being able to dream. And dreams are often the beginning of change. Wandering through the blogs today has left me feeling kind of melancholy. I'm a "fixer"...and there are alot of things here I'd love to "fix" for people.
I've seen your smile.
I've dried your tears.
I've listened to your heartaches.
And I've shared with you my fears.
Somehow I want to touch you.
The way you've all touched me.
I want to feel your heart beat.
I love you, can't you see?
So, today.....I'd like to grant you a wish. You can only have one this time. Everyone has a wish in their life....I know that I do. So, stop, and think.
If I could grant you one wish today......what would it be?

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you! Whether you are a Mom....or celebrating your mom! Don't feel bad that you forgot to buy a card or send flowers. Pick up the phone and call your mom and tell here how much she means to you! I guarantee......she'll never forget it!
I know there will be some inspirational reading on here today....here are a few that I've read already that have touched my heart.

I Guess You Had To Be There!

Last night was a rough night at my house. I do not usually sleep on my back...and so I am now dealing with a sore back from spending so much time on it. Also, the grandkids ended up here yesterday.....and although I stayed in bed like a good girl for the most part...I did get lots of hugs...and moved around more than I should have. And my poor hubby was exhausted after running after them all afternoon.
So, we climbed into bed about 9 and watched a movie together. Hubby hooked his C-PAP machine up and went to sleep. I kind of moved around trying to get comfortable and watched Nick at Nite. About 3am, the was insistent that she needed to go outside. I considered taking her out myself....after all, I wasn't asleep. But I knew I'd catch it if my husband woke up and realized that I was outside. So, I woke him up...and he was groggy from the sleeping aid he took...but he got up and trudged outside dutifully.
Then at 6:30...the dog...in the middle of the bed started making those gross doggy puking noises and I yelled for my husband.....who jumped up stark naked, still hooked to the C-PAP and tried to get the over to the tile floor. The hose to his machine only stretched so far...and then the machine fell over...my hubby's ass was in the air...and the kind of got tossed down the hall.
Now...I know it wasn't very gracious of me...but it struck me funny...and I couldn't help laughing at the sight in front of me. I got up and got a towel and helped clean up the water from the C-PAP....and all the while I kept giggling. All I could see was that startled dog....sleepy husband...and bare ass!
I wish you could have been here!

If you haven't already been there and left a guess......FantasyLover_05 on [post 344524] has decided to raffle himself off. I am officially the "keeper of the number". I have been emailed the official winning number before the game began. And when I reveal the winner....I will print the original email with the date to add as proof that the number was chosen before the post was added.
So...get over there and leave your best guess! Nothing I like better than to announce a winner of anything....much less your choice of a prize involving FantasyLover_05
GOOD LUCK!!!

Snoozing and Cruising

Yesterday, I was so happy to be home and to be back in blogland! I actually felt really great! But, guess what.....I overdid it! I stayed in bed mostly...but I think I sat up for too long. Last night...I was feeling the pain. And one of my incisions opened up. So...I had to call the doctor late at night and wake my up to take me to the ER. But the doc said just to get some butterfly bandages and close it up and call him in the morning. (HEY! Even the bandages are called "butterfly"! lol)
So, today, I am feeling a little more tired and in a little more pain than yesterday. And I'm waiting to see if I have to go in to see the doctor this morning. I'm still going to be here in blogland....and I'm enjoying reading your blogs! But forgive me if I don't leave as many comments for a few days. When the drugs kick in....the words I'm typing makes no sense at all. So, bear with me my friends! I'm sure I'll feel like my old self in no time at all! I love you guys!!!!!

Kindly Remove Your Shoes

I'm Back!
In my house we all remove our shoes when we come in the door. Partly because I prefer to be barefoot....and partly from living in Japan for 6 years....where everyone, guests and all remove their shoes coming in the door.
In the bible we are told of a time when all were asked to remove their shoes because they were standing on Holy Ground. You may call me sac-religious if you want to.....but I feel like I'm on holy ground here in blogland. All of you are so wonderful and precious to me. All of your prayers were felt by me. All of the butterflies created a gentle breeze surrounding me. And all of your support was what got me through.
I know many of you prayed for the team of professionals that would be caring for me through the surgery...and they were wonderful. The anesthesiologist believed my fears...and reassured me that they would take care of me. The nurse anesthetist that would be by my side throughout the surgery had a surgical cap with butterflies on it....and told me she hated that sinking feeling going to sleep too. At that point....as she injected the first drugs into my IV.....I thought of all of you holding my hands....and I remember nothing else until someone was telling me that I was in recovery. I thought they were joking as I tried so hard to focus my eyes......and I really WAS in recover. So, I felt absolutely nothing.
I'm home now....tired, in some pain, but very happy! And very blessed to have all of you as friends. Thank you again.....blogland for helping me through this....and I think that you have all set up a standard of love and caring that will change this place forever.
So, if you're going to crawl into bed with me here while I recover......kindly remove your shoes!!

I just wanted to write one last post before I go for my surgery. The most important thing I want to say is.....
THANK YOU ALL!!!
I'm terrified.....but I am also calm. And that is because I know that all around the world YOU are praying and sending good healing thoughts my way. The part that scares me the most is the anesthesia....so, I'm going to picture you there holding my hand....stroking my hair....and I'm going to feel the brush of Angel and Butterfly wings. And because of you....I'm going to remember to breath deeply and BELIEVE!!!!!
I have to be at the hospital at 6am. The surgery is at 7:30....and should last about 3 hours. My husband is going to call a couple of people from here in blogland and let them know as soon as he can....and they will add a post to let you all know. So...look for a post on [blog Flyaway1012] ... she will be the first to know. [blog Unlistedone] and Fantasylover_05 will also get the word.
Thank you all again for walking with me...for all the hugs....and especially for the prayers. Blogland is some special place to be!

I can't keep my eyes off the clock today. I keep thinking....
24 hours from now I'll be at the hospital
24 hours from now I'll be going into the OR
24 hours from right now(which is 8:15 here) they should be cutting into me.
I don't want to live my last day before surgery thinking like this. But I can't stop. And I can't have sex. And I'm drinking 64oz of Propel with Miralax in it....so, soon I should be in the bathroom alot.
So...I'm going to finish cleaning my bedroom. And I'm going to call some friends. And I'm going to spend some time just lying in my husbands arms. I'm going to admire my beautiful feet and toes....I got a pedicure yesterday with my daughters. And I'm going to go later and get some hugs from my grandsons.
And I'm going to keep coming back here to get hugs from all of you! My Angels!

You know, [blog unlistedone] wrote about Angels....and what if we were actually angels sent here to do something. Well, you are ALL my angels. Do you know that?
You see, we can all be angels to one another. We can choose to hear that still small stirring inside. The little whisper inside that says.....
Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea. The world will be a much better place if we do this. And somewhere....wherever they are....the Angels will dance.
Angel Wings
The tender touch of Angel wings
Brush softly past your face.
Summoned by softly spoken prayers
To stand here in this place.
Called to keep and guard you
To touch your heart with love.
Sent as special messengers
From heaven up above.
They cover you with tenderness,
They watch your slumbering face.
They call you into peaceful rest
As they stand here in this place.
So, if you feel a tender touch
A breeze about your face,
Just know I prayed for angels
To keep you in this place.
Thank you all for being my Angels!
