Feeling Thankful

I'm feeling thankful for the little things today.

*I had a scheduled surgery on Monday and although they had to remove the entire organ which my cyst was on, it was benign. (Because of the age of some of my readers I won't go into detail about the actual surgery but read between the lines or feel free to email me if you are curious.)

*The doctor isn't worried. The matching organ appears to be completely healthy and I should recover normally.

*The surgery went well. I'm home now and feeling okay. Pretty groggy today, but I'm alright.

*Kelli and Drew came up on Monday and stayed until Wednesday morning. I'm stubbornly independent, so I probably didn't let her do as much for me as I could have, but it was really nice to have them here. Thank you Kelli! I really appreciated the help and the company!

*I also appreciated all the calls and flowers that I received when I was in the hospital.

*My family is coming up in a couple days and I'll get to spend a few weeks with them! I haven't had the chance to do that in years. I'm very grateful for that even if it is a health issue that gives me that chance.
*After Kelli left yesterday, Kara came and spent the day with me.


*I also will be going to spend the next couple days with my grandparents. It's overwhelming to know how many people are willing to help me out.

As my family is coming up and I have the time off of work to recover, I will not be on this blog too often. Expect me back in the first few weeks of August!
