Happy Saturday!

Wow, the last day of June. 


The is a substantial age difference between my husband and I. I met him when I was 20. In the beginning of our relationship I remember him telling me, "The older you get, the faster the time goes." Being so young, I tended to roll my eyes. Now I know, he was so right. We are halfway through 2012, and I am still writing 2011 on things. Mind-blowing.


The post-op went well. The staples came out, and my incision feels so much better! I found out that I had 8 staples in my belly-button! No wonder it was pinchy! Now the incision itches like crazy, and I can scratch it without worrying about pulling out metal. 


I still have no pathology news. The specialist's nurse called yesterday, and the results are not back yet. They will call me when they are. I am glad I don't have to wait until July 11th (my follow-up). 


Yesterday was a good day. After the post-op, we visited some coworkers at a company picnic. It was nice to be outside on a beautiful, sunny day, and it was nice to see my coworkers. I am fortunate to work with a fantastic group of caring people. We stayed about half an hour, I didn't want to over-do it.


After that, my best friend came over and brought us homemade cherry jam and super-crusty/chewy/wonderful sourdough bread. The jam is made from cherries picked from the tree in their backyard. It is the most wonderful jam on the planet, I can eat it out of the jar with a spoon. When I can have fiber, I will be doing so!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! Maybe just a taste... >:-)


Then, for dinner, I had a hamburger patty and mashed potatoes. It tasted so good, I may as well have been eating at The Porthouse (a wonderful steakhouse in Little Canada). One step closer to a real meal!


So, that was my Friday. Today should be quiet, which is ok. It might be a good day to put the patio umbrella up, hang out on the balcony and watch critters all day.


Enjoy your weekend! Please be safe, and mind your pets in the heat.
