Morning

I feel so much better. Still a little pain around my ribs but I can deal. It feels nice to be getting back to normal. My stomach is almost flat again and my older clothes are fitting me once again. I have to see my doctor for a checkup on aug.1. Hopefully, I will get released and back to work. I don't have many details about the operation except that she removed a massive 15-20 lb tumor that had broken off a smaller piece.... hence the visit to ER . Guess she will explain more details at the checkup. I had to stay in the hospital longer than expected for blood transfusions. I had problems with extreme vomitting and that was horrible. I have never had so many IVs and blood test in my life !!!

Jessica was my rock. She stood right beside me and was more than I could have hoped for. Shannon and Tina were so helpful also. They watched Sierra & Robert and my kitties. I needed my kids and they were there for me. Don't know what I would have done without them.

Y has stuck beside me also. She is a great friend to me. She is afraid that I will stop eating again so she takes me out to eat almost every night. I don't like to eat but I enjoy Y's company so I go. She stopped by a few nights and cooked dinner here for me also. I eat one good meal a day.

I am very lucky to still be here and I have a new outlook on everything and what is important in my life.

Strange as it may sound to some. I saw Salem 3 times while I was in the hospital. It was so awesome to see him but I wanted to hold him but I couldn't. The hospital room and walls & hallway were all white and sometimes I could see a fuzzy black cat walk by my door and guard the door way. I know that he was there with me. Goddess, I still miss him so much !!!!

Eragon, Hocus Pocus and Samhain... really missed me. Shannon told me that at times Eragon was so sad... he would watch as he came in the apartment.. sit by the door to see if I followed.. and when he didn't see me... his blue eyes would fill up with tears like he was crying. Eragon has stayed beside me in bed while I rest. Hocus Pocus follows me every where I go and guards me. When I get up to move around Now.. I have 3 cats right beside me. Samhain... well he is a sweet boy... he is trying to connect with me but Hocus will not really allow him to get close to me for long. As soon as he notices Samhain getting attention... he runs over and chases him off of me.

I am starting to feel weak so... off I go
