It's hard to believe an entire week has passed since our ordeal began. Today I am grateful for the absolute outpouring of love and support from our friends and family. Last night my sweet friend Sandra made a delicious lasagna and nice fresh salad which was really good since I haven't been getting too many vegetables in. Tonight our friends the Derais' brought over some shrimp alfredo that was TO DIE FOR. Scott is a chef so I was really looking forward to that all day ;) Brian and I love food. Sandra and Emilyn both brought chocolate because my sweetest friends know that during times of stress, or sadness, or joy, or days that end in -y, I am always craving chocolate.
Brian has been in a lot of pain today. He says its a new kind of pain and I think its just because he is feeling more alert and maybe starting to heal. The swelling doesn't look as bad today either. I might still just call the doctor tomorrow to make sure its normal. He is having lots of shooting pain and I hate to watch him hurt like that. A part of me feels so relieved that the surgery is over, but I have this sense of dread looming over me as we await these pathology results.
Brian is cleaning up now and then we are going to settle in for the night I think. I am going to read a UFO magazine that my sister got for me. That will help us to decompress and laugh a little. Brian's sense of humor has been kind of funny lately. He is just being a total goofball. I think it must be the heavy pain meds, but he is cracking me up.
Pray for positive test results soon. My patience is wearing thin.

You are soooo my daughter...chocolate fixes anything! Sorry to hear that Brian is in pain today....make that boy take his pain meds every 4 hours...even if he doesn't want to. Have to stay ahead of that pain. Praying you have a restful evening sweet girl. Love you! Mama
