Pizza cravings

On Friday, the day of surgery, I had to do the typical fast starting midnight. I didn't check in until 11am and was waiting for a long time in pre op with Jim.
We were talking about what I would like to eat after surgery. I decided a nice veggie pizza with feta cheese. Jim added anchovies to it then for good measure, I topped it off with jalipinos.
At 3:30 pm they wheeled me into the o.r. and at 4:30pm I was in recovery.
Since my body does not respond well to knives, what should have been a recovery time of 1 1/2 - 2 hours, turned into over 4 hrs.
When they wheeled me out to Jim's car, I happened to pass by a pizza delivery guy. I told him I would take the pizza. He looked at me confused. So I told him again I would take it. He finally caught the joke and just laughed... without giving me the pizza.
Don't worry, the next day Jim drove around a bit and got me a pepperoni piza... no feta, anchovies or Jalipinos, but there was plenty of goat cheese at the rectory.  Ahhhhh, that was the best pizza EVER.

Counting down to follow up visit

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  It has really helped.  One of the things I observed when I started concelebrating Masses was how patient you all are with me.  So many of you expressed your prayers and concern for me and simply want me to get better and to do whatever it takes to get well again.  Thank you so much for this!  I could not have possibly dreamed of asking for more. So physically what has life been like lately.  Well, one word: pain.  Yesterday I ran errands up in Tallahassee and paid a price for it.  A good amount of bleeding and a ton of pain when I got back home.  I think what adds to the suffering is the fatigue of hurting like this.  But oh well. I am getting more excited about heading to my follow up appointment.  Jim and I know what to expect and how things are, so in a way it will be a lot easier.  I hope and pray they will do the surgery next week that will solve everything...

recovery from big day

Wednesday evening I celebrated Mass at St. Elizabeth.  It was good to do, but it was way more painful than I thought it would be.  I was hoping it wouldn't be so bad so I could take over the weekday Masses at both places again, but unfortunately, that will have to wait.  I am planning on concelebrating Masses at both parishes this weekend.  Hopefully that will be more manageable. So yesterday I slept most of the day and I feel very tired and weak today.  It isn't fun feeling like this especially since it is so beautiful outside.  I would love to be on a tractor right now or tending a burn pile... anything productive outside would be a dream. It is so frustrating, but then I looked at my calendar and realized that it was only 2 weeks since my surgery.  It feels so much longer, probably because of the flu.  Ahhhhh, patience. I am so grateful that everyone else seems to understand my situation better than I do.  I feel so guilty at times f...
