Gall Bladder Date

-

Tomorrow, Cathy is going to have surgery to remove her gall bladder. The doctor says it will be a relatively "minor" procedure -- three small incisions, a couple of snips, and she'll be good to go.

Well, it might be "minor" for him, but it's Major for us (A good definition of Major Surgery is any cutting they do on YOU!)

There is one fringe benefit, however. We are planning to head up to Duluth this evening for a romantic overnight date. We plan to dine at Red Lobster (thanks to our friend, Mark and Lori) and lodge at Hawthorne Inn and Suites on the harbor (thanks to their special "gall bladder removal" rates.)

If all goes well, we will have her home by tomorrow evening -- though they say recovery will take a while. I'm planning on staying home to take care of her, and teach the kids the rest of the week.

Over the next couple of days, we'd really appreciate it if you sent up a prayer.

    Mark,
    Sam just came back from taking your Mom to breakfast. She told him about Cathy's surgery. We are holding all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

    Had mine out. I thought the surgery was a piece of cake, seeing as I was asleep for it, ;-) BUT, the recovery was slower than I had anticipated.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
