Dear Dad,
Thank you, thank you so very much for the warm greetings that arrived today. Beautiful roses, a sweet teddy bear and a small box of chocolates.(-which I am saving) It absolutely made my day so much better. I believe that the only flowers I have received that were roses in the last 10 years were from you, and I adore getting flowers. I wish I could send a hug long distance, but since I cannot, I have taken a few pictures to show you how beautiful the roses look, and that I divided them and placed them throughout the apartment!
(Since I am not sure if you ever read my blog or not I will likely post these pictures on Facebook as well.)
Getting ready for a nap, a recent habit due to the surgery, but one that You perfected long before me. I believe I over did it Monday/Tuesday and I fell asleep several times during a movie I had been waiting to see for a long time, lol. (Thor) Melinda had to shoo me off to bed, where I stayed for 8 hours only waking up for pain pills at 0330 a.m.
So today I am listening to my body and resting more than I did. I just wanted to be mobile again, I have memories of my previous surgery and being trapped in bed/upstairs for several weeks to fall back on. Granted these incisions are smaller, and there are 4 of them, but I believe they will heal with little scaring. Bending is an issue just yet, so I getting those deep knee bends in. and being fussed at by Melinda.
For the curious I have also included some slightly gross pictures..if you have ever wondered what a gallbladder looks like, and what stones look like, they will be on the bottom of the page. If you are squeamish just don't look at the bottom of the page, lol.
I believe I shall name the bear you sent "Giles", a right proper Brit name, and a family name to boot. (also one I never pronounce correctly..hahah!) Thanks Dad..big hugs...you are one in a million, and please, do not fret. It does not matter that you cannot fight my battles for me, I am a grown woman, and we are both in similar boats. But it does mean so very much that you wish you could. I appreciate that more than I can ever express. Love you Daddy.

The 'Yucky' stuff--the small white things in the photo to the right are stones, and there were a lot of them. The brown is bile released after the gallbladder was cut open.

Yeppers! The doc let me have the pics so I could give them to you! Wish I knew what happened to mine that I had in a little jar of Formalin!

And, yes, you did over do it yesterday, but are back to a restful track today and hopefully tomorrow. Walking in moderation.
Thanks for the wonderful cooking you are doing for me :) I do so appreciate it! My tummy is staying happy.
Now, we need to get you a purse that does not weigh a ton while it is empty!
Love, Mel
Hey!! I have to put the kitchen sink somewhere, and it fits in the purse..lmao!
Glad you are enjoying the eats, I miss cooking for someone who appreciates it, and it's no fun cooking for one.
Having you here has made a bad time a wonderful time, thank you so very much for being my friend. Hugs!
