I've had a pretty good day. I sure am emotional these days. I've noticed that it doesn't take much to send me to tears:) Guess I've earned it.

Guess what? I'm getting some fuzz on my head - very little but it is there. Yeah!

I am SO tired of the hospital food (in fact haven't touched much of it in days). Thanks to those of you who bring edible food when you come. I am taking very little pain meds. I still have a couple of pain patches. I occasionally have some phantom pain (pain where the leg was removed). The leg still feels like it's there!

Mom and John are still taking turns staying with me from around 9:00 am until 9:00 pm which is awesome. I've had some frustration with the nursing staff not responding to my needs when I don't have an advocate.

The boys came for a few minutes today and we had a great visit. They may come for a few minutes tomorrow too. They are some incredible kids - please continue to pray for them and their understanding of all the changes in our family life.

I am so thankful for your calls, cards and emails. They are such an encouragement to me. There's quite a long road ahead and you are a vital part of my healing process. God is faithful and He continues to sustain me. He is the strength of my heart (and my body). He continues to reveal His plan for my life.
