Last Monday, I had surgery, but in some ways, it was rather like a spa --
-- They give you as many heated blankets as you want; you just have to ask
-- They put these awesome leg massagers on you before surgery. Like, seriously, they are the best things ever! Wondering what it would take to get some...?
-- They gave me some kind of thing in my IV drip that the nurse said was equivalent to a glass of Merlot. Sweet! Nice and relaxing.
-- I would probably have remembered more, but whatever they gave me in my IV during the surgery was stronger than a glass of Merlot... let's just put it that way.
Once I got home, though, the real mini-vacation started!
-- My room is full of flowers, interspersed with cards of those who love me.
-- My email inbox was also filled with love and prayers by so many who have impacted my life in incredible ways.
-- I get breakfast, lunch, and dinner in bed everyday.
-- I have ample time to pray, read my Bible, and some other great books that I have been meaning to get to.
-- I have also had plenty of time to crush through some free audiobooks on my phone.
-- Some of my dearest friends (many of whom live at a considerable distance) have come in to visit me.
-- Oh, also, WAY better than pre-heated blankets at the spa, I actually have an electric blanket!!! GAHHH!!! The best!
-- I have tons of beautiful music to listen to, and can just sit an enjoy it, when I don't have the strength to do anything else. :-) (Guys, the new Cinderella soundtrack. Just wow.)
-- Unlimited Ginger Ale for when I'm feeling queasy. :-)
There's probably lots more that I could say, but I don't want to make you all jealous... ;-)
