September 30: A Little Procedure

After my morning ultrasound that showed fluid under the red area, I got an unannounced visit from two members of the surgical team. Kinda freaked me until I learned what they were going to do would be done with me in my bed. How bad could that be? Not something I would want to do every weekend, but not as bad as I feared. So it’s all drained and cleansed and packed (after “witch” my oxy kicked in) … and with a stronger, more targeted antibiotic, I expect the healing to go smoothly. My shower was put off until tomorrow. My daughter brought me food and massaged my shoulders. Not sure how much longer I will be here. I turned on the television for the first time to watch the house vote on the budget. Not yet up to writing my PaganPages articles, but did turn to my Womanrunes (The Sun and Moon, “witch” among other things represents healing laughter) and the Everyday Witch Oracle (dig deep). Going off to find videos or shows to make me laugh my way to healing.

First, though, I want to thank all of you who have been sending love, healing, and love. It REALLY does make a difference. I am grateful.
