This day I've walked among the blues. Somewhere between grey and emotion. I've been tagged like a cow readied for the stock yard. I've been waiting one hour already... waiting, simply... waiting. My throat is hoarse from the invasion of a week long sore throat/ cold. The emergency waiting room is cold and I'm tired. They call my number; 53. Finally, I think, I can get this process started. Only I'm told they don't have my ct scan or blood work order yet. I have to wait. Another hour passes when they call my number, "53." This time I'm to follow the blue arrows to the lab where they take two vials of blood. I watch as my pale skin bruises at the fold in my right arm. Soon I'm back in the lobby. I'm being escorted to another room where my ct scans will be administered. By the time I'm finished I look like a drug user with a bad habit for shooting heroin.

Note From the Hospital

Merry Christmas Naquillists. Hope everyone is enjoying their family and friends today. I popped in to say my surgery went well Thursday. They removed 15" of my right colon and said the cancer was the size of a quarter. I slept most of the day Thursday and had a tumultuous night with all the gas pain. Otherwise I've had a smooth recovery.

Friday I was able to start on a liquid diet, take out my catheter and take off the oxygen too. I walked around the fifth floor 10 times and sat in a chair for a bit. I even got to shower. That was very relaxing. I slept much better last night, than the first, too.  I still miss my home bed though.

Today I've been upgraded to some solid foods like oatmeal, toast and yogurt. A few of my favorites but, I haven't been able to eat them as well as I'd like because of all the medicine I've been taking. It makes me really sleepy too.

If I continue doing well I may get to come back home tomorrow. I would love that so everyone keep your fingers crossed. Thanks again for all your kind words, prayers and support through this difficult time. It means so much to me. xoxoxo
