Surgery is over, I'm home and feel great (thank you dilaudid). Andrew Criser,my friend and anesthesiologist offered my "joy juice" before they wheeled me to the OR. Next thing I knew it was 4:00 and it was all over. Didn't feel a thing!
I love Ian. He is wonderful. I came up to the room tonight and on my pillow was an iPad. It,s killing me that he got me one. About a month ago I started researching them to get him one for his birthday. I did all of my online research at work so he wouldn't know and asked several friends all a out them. Anyway, I guess a couple of weeks ago he emailed everyone asking to leave voicemail messages and to send music that he downloaded for me onto the iPad that he got me first! We think so much alike...sometimes! So thank you everyone for your messages, your music, your texts, your calls.
My friend Shellee gave me a book by Jeffrey R. Holland and when I flipped it open last night I read this: "When we speak of those who are instruments in the hands of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some we walk and talk with- here, now, everyday.". I have so many angels in my life. Thank you everyone for your words of encouragement, your prayers, your positive thoughts, and believing in me.
We will get tumor results in a week or two... Until then...anyone want to go for a run?
Hello friends. Our hope is that this blog will function as a two-way communication line--for us to keep you updated on how things are going with Shari saving second base ;o), and for you to have a convenient way to send her words of encouragement. Thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteP.S. Are you doing Tai Chi in that picture? What the?
ReplyDeleteIn the picture, if you look just by her right knee, you'll see a blurry little object, which is basically the Chinese version of a hacky sack. Shari was kickin' sack with some retirees at a public park in Beijing.
ReplyDeleteShari, We're so glad the surgery went well and that your feeling pretty good. The Oregon Kellems' are always thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteShari,
ReplyDeleteThank God for his Angels that are among us. You and your family are in my prayers. When one member of the Carruth Family needs encouragement, strength, comfort or security. We all become strong together and we all know PRAYER IS THE ANSWER - When we are weak HE IS STRONG! Love Bev Dalton
So glad to hear you're doing great!
