Feeling Better



Shannon received some good drugs to stop the pain and nausea. She is able to eat now so she's feeling a lot better. The visit with our friends was good. We really appreciate them driving down here to see her. Her roommate checked out today so it looks like she is going to have the room to herself tonight. That should make for some good rest. -Jeff

Hi guys! it's shannon! my first official post surgery post... finally feeling well enough to do so. ;)
The visit from friends today has done a lot to lift my spirits, as did the talk of removing my chest tubes tomorrow. Overall, this surgery really wasn't that bad. The docs were surprised to see me up and talking before leaving the ICU! we were out of there in less than 3 days... which is what they were projecting. i guess that says a lot about the power of intention. they're promising some yummy veggie lasagna for dinner, and we're getting ready to start a movie. i'll try to sign on again soon.. my short (and when i'm lucky long) naps have been far to enjoyable to turn down. ta ta for now! shannon
