Hello all! Well, I am here at Winnie Palmer Hospital

(just yesterday we were at Chuck E. Cheese celbrating Dylan's 3rd Birthday!!! God bless him!!! He is such a joy and keeps me going!!!-will post pics and blog about this later!)

(beautiful it was almost like staying at The Hilton - LOL)

(this is a picture of my bathroom - check out the swans)

they have a concierge where they can come and give you a pedicure, massage, manicure. I have a beautiful room with a view (no more womb with a view though-LOL meds are talking now) I could see downtown and the citrus bowl!!!

I had the complete hysterectomy yesterday morning at 10:30 a.m. surgery lasted around 3 hours, my surgeon is wonderful Dr. Jessica Vaught

Well I will blog later not feeling to well having a reaction to something my face and lips are red, burning and swollen possible a delayed reaction from the anesthesia so they are keeping me to observe me a lil' longer... I will take some pics soon when I feel better... (UPDATED SEE PICS ABOVE)... love you all

A poem for today

Myself - me. I am still me minus a part of me that I have shared with myself for 40 years now. Yes, these things will one day be replaced by me and like all things in life will at times be forgotten by me. However, this part of me I have carried over from birth, to childhood, to my current adulthood. And I am faced with the fact that they are now gone however I must remind myself, not completely. I am here, still whole, I am still me - I am still myself.
