I’ve Seen Her With My Own Eyes

A week of blogs about one friend is a lot, but tonight will close out the week with all the good news people have been asking for.

I made dinner for Jan, Rex, their daughter Kim and grand daughter Morgan who are in from Texas to help out. I texted Jan when I had ll the food made and it took a bit for her to get back to me. She was having her second nap of the day. Since she slept in her rented recliner I felt like she deserved two naps.

I let myself in the front door because thankfully their big dog crocket was with their son David. Jan was up and dressed looking like she does on any regular day. She hugged me without pain before I hugged everyone else.

After a detailed description of how well she was feeling she showed me one of her drains that was clearly working. If I didn’t know she had undergone surgery 27 hours before I never would have guessed.

Due to Jan’s poor reception to regular anesthesia she had nerve blocks, which might still be working at the time of my visit as she said her pain level was a two. Such great news.

We had a really good visit, sitting out in the sun talking with Kim and Rex. I suddenly realized I had been their too long for a food drop off visit. I hope I did not wear Jan out, but she did not appear tired. It was also getting close to dinner time and she was happy I had brought Salmon as it appears many other people had mentioned bringing the same chicken dish. Note to self, don’t bring chicken to a meal train as that is what everyone else is bringing.

I hope Jan continues to feel as good as she does today. She was quite miraculous, but then again she is that way normally.
