Didn't make it to the opening of my own party last Saturday.  Today I received this picture from Joanne taken while I sat in the ER wondering about life.   I think people had a good time and the show was successful.  I haven't seen it  yet.  

Today was an entire day at home.  It feels like it's been months, not days. Trying to navigate the medical world just gets more difficult.  The hospital doctor did not make the referral to VNA and now I need it.  Little things like that.  But basically, I'm golden because I am so well loved.   Denise brought me flowers and made me a little dinner.  T. brought me some food, Jo brought me privacy and we were taught how to clean the wound site.   The journey towards recovery has begun
