    So good to hear from you, Red. I'm relieved it went well and that the surgery part is over. I'm praying for good news.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Good healing to you.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Red, glad it all went well. good for you for being a brave soldier. Drink lots and lots of water to help your body flush the anesthetics and pain meds. Heal fast but don't push yourself.

    been through it twice and so glad it went well, I will continue to stomp and wave and sing for good results.

    Red, you're a trooper and you will look beautiful, even more so for being well on the inside.

    Awww, thanks.

    I felt queasy and dizzy after the Vicodin last night, so I took only half of the next one, and then moved on to Tylenol 6 hours later. There is no pain at all in my breast, so I probably don't even need that anymore. I've also stopped icing, which I think helped more than the pain killers. My hand, where the IV went in, is the only thing that's a little uncomfortable, and sleeping wasn't good. It feels too soon to lie on my side, so I tried to stay on my back, which isn't the way I normally sleep. Other than that, I think I'm doing really well.

    DBF will be making dinner tomorrow, and the only thing I might do is an apple crisp. Easy. I'm not going on my normal pre-guest cleaning frenzy. I'm sure they don't care and won't notice anyway. I'm just taking it easy until I can't. I'm already thinking about Saturday's ride. It's supposed to be beautiful here. I think I'll be ready for an easy one, based on how I feel now, but I won't do anything stupid.

    So happy to hear you are doing well! You probably will be able to ride Saturday; just don't push it, if you don't feel like 100%. It's supposed to beautiful this weekend.
    Hey, I was thinking, one of these days we should meet and maybe do a ride on the South Coast; probably next spring!
