A brighter day

May 26

My body is healing really quickly. For the first time I was able to hug Ellen without a pillow. I am able to lie on either side without pain. I was able for the first time to concentrate enough to do online bill pay and a number of mundane tasks.

My lungs felt better today and I could breathe more deeply. All this good news must be balanced with the fact that I got out of the operating room 18 days ago. I am still in a tender place.
