I'm alive!

Well my gallbladder surgery was yesterday... and it went well! I'm hurting a lot and can't find many comfortable positions... but I'm sure it will get better in a couple of days. Grama and Aunt Gayle surprised me and it was so fun to have them here but far too short! I got gorgeous flowers from both them and from Kas and Rae... it's so lovely to look over and see them. Patrick has been more than amazing... helping me get up from and lay back down on the couch, rearranging pillows for me, getting medicine and drinks... this morning he made me pudding (of which I ate about three spoons full), bought me a shake from Chick-fil-a, and just now made me some mashed potatoes. Last night he even slept on the floor next to me (I slept on the couch) just so he could watch over me. He's such an amazing husband and caretaker... I am blessed for sure!
