Yummy

What is it about certain foods that just make you crave it? My friends, Diane and Kaitlin, brought lunch for me yesterday from Paradise Bakery - roasted garlic tomato soup and a Greek salad (with extra olives). It was divine and I savored every bite. I even managed to get the entire meal down over about an hours time. I kept thinking I would put it away until later - but just couldn't bear to do it. Of course, I wasn't a lick hungry for supper - but who cares - that was hospital food.
Friends Jeff and Lori stopped by last night while Mark was here, so we had a nice visit. Jeff said a beautiful prayer before they left. You all cannot imagine how cradled I feel knowing that so many prayers are going up on my behalf.
My breathing is a bit worse today and my blood pressure up. I am sure the fluid is on the increase, so I am anxious to get this done! The anesthesiologist checked in with me this morning, and said the surgery is scheduled for 7:30 tomorrow morning. They will come get me between 5:00 and 6:30. Total operating time should be 15 minutes - much shorter than the pre-op time. I will post as soon as I am out of my post op haze. Thanks again for all your prayers.
