from WA is home safe and sound...recovery is going well...but

(don't cha just hate BUTS!) she has caught a touch of the

flu....achy, fever...she did touch base with Dee about it. Making

sure it wasn't an infection or connected to the frankenboobie

repair. I'm betting she caught a bug during her flight home.

Ok from here on get your bottom back on list and let us know

how your doing!! It sure was nice getting to see You again...and I

wanted to tell you...your just getting prettier everytime I see

you! Tom must be doing something right.

I talked to Woodlake tonight...I was on the cell phone and

there was alot of " noise " during the connection. What I could make

out was.....they are going to do a barium swallow on her and see how

the stomach is healing/or not healing. There was something that Dr.

Z thought was a very good sign and made him happy???? Couldn't Catch

what it was.....She is expecting to still be in the hospital at the

time of the next support meeting and plans to come. She is feeling

better with the exception of Breathing. Her diaphram is acting

weird and only one side expands at a time...switching sides with

each breath. ????don't know what that's about, but her breathing

was a bit labored. Last....right now her biggest fear is needing

another invasive procedure. That scares her....I certainly can

understand that!!!

I asked her if there was anything someone could bring her to make

her stay easier...books, magazines, puzzles, deck of cards......she

said her mom was keeping her supplied with " keep busy " stuff. She

then said a BLT sandwich would be nice...I said " sure just get Dr. Z

to say OK and I'll be right down there with one " She said she

didn't think he would give permission...so I told her I could bring

a BLT and eat it in front of her...you know anything for a

friend!!! She said " NO THANK YOU! " Well I tried....

Lets hope she gets good news when they get around to doing the

Barium swallow.

Oh and Cindee....Jody told her you were back in the hospital so

asked about you.
