TGIF 3 weeks and 2 days past surgery

Hello Friends,

Hope all is well with your and yours....sorry I was in a whiny mood yesterday but am better today. Slept really good (percoset is a great drug). Is a beautiful day today in Charlotte.

Yesterday I recieved a package in the mail....my blue ribbon pins and a roll of embroidered blue ribbons. My friend Ginger in Ohio sent me a cap with a blue ribbon embroidered on it and when I get around to it am gonna get a new picture on here.

By the way, I can tell many of you have been praying for me to feel better emotionally. I woke this morning with a new attitude and willingness to "stretch" out a bit even with my little friend...so, THANK YOU. Was told there might be some emotional stuff to deal with so I think it is safe to say I got to that point, good news is, I am cruising right on past it now!

No big plans for the weekend, B cancelled her trip to Florida to see her family. I encouraged her to go, that I would be OK but she wouldn't feel right leaving and if I got into trouble with a blockage or something....well, you know. I am thinking there is some christmas tree decorating in my future over the next coupla days? I can do anything from eye level to knee level...the rest is out of my reach limits!

I honestly dont have any real news. Things are staying pretty consistent right now. My bladder is healing and there has not been any blood in my urine for 4 days now. At the entry point (try to word it delicately) of my catheter there is some blood and minor irritation. A couple of "daubs" of some lidocaine gel usually does the trick. Hand is still bad but have an appointment with the ortho doc on Monday.

Time to go for now I reckon. As you continue to pray for me and my family, please lift up ALL those who are sick and hurting today, the homeless and helpless. Thank you all for caring and sharing and loving me.
I love you too !

" Thank You Lord for Your blessings on me"

I love sayings/quotes and this one seemed to be fitting. "Everything is okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end." Things may not have gone just like you wanted but everything is going to be okay. When it is all okay then you will have reached the end of your "journey through prostate cancer" and will journey into a new chapter of your life. You and "B" are both in my heart and prayers - I love you both.
