In Recovery

So finally the surgeon--exhausted--comes out and says it's over, it went well. Relief, happiness, wanting to see him and give him a hug. Finally the recovery room, Purell your hands first (it's comforting that they make everyone clean their hands), gently touch his hand, he's pale and you can see the pain etched on his face. The push button for the pain meds. The tube in his nose. Rest. Get well. Walk again.

For my friend and colleague, Harry: Sent lots of white light and love in your direction yesterday, so I knew it would be fine. Thinking of you and Barbara a lot and already missing you at work. Going to post some links for you to look at when you get bored (and you WILL get bored). Much love, Jenna
