Walking, but not talking

Just talked (briefly) to Paula who is up and walking with her IV pole. Our conversation was brief because her throat is sore from the tube inserted during surgery. She feels OK (thanks to that wonderful pain button), and walks to get her strength back, plus it stimulates the lower tract to do something. Until that happens, it's nothing but ice chips.

The surgeon did not remove her right lymph node because it showed up normal, and said they will keep a careful eye on it in the future. She's in a private room, but requests no visitors for a couple of days until her throat heals.

So everything looks good. Keep her in your prayers.

Paula, I'm so thankful things have gone as well as they have. We miss you at the office and think and pray about you constantly. Your cheerful, determined attitude; the love and support of your family and friends; and the goodness of our merciful and loving God will see you through. Keep up the good work! With love from your friends in the BCS, David
