The Gift of Life is Amazing!! - November 11, 2010

Early morning greetings,


It is 6:35 am and I am sitting up watching and visiting, what a glorious day. The most uncomfortable part of the procedure so far was waking up with the breathing tube and being very alert for another 5 1/2 hours, it was terribly uncomfortable. I finally went of the ventilator at 2;30 pm, giving much relief. My first time sitting up in the chair occurred 14 hrs after surgery, its just amazing. My care has been top notch, I have had very little pain, only 3mg of pain meds. It has been wonderful having family and freinds around to help support me, Gracie is a great little jr. nurse. Peyton is excited to come see his mother, I miss him so much.

My heart sinks everytime I think of the victim and their family that suffered a loss to give me the gift of life.

I want my family to know I wont be home to host xmas, seems like a weak excuse but I am gonna have to pass on hosting this year. The plan today is to start walking and by the middle of the day get released from intensive care. I just want to thank all of you for your emails, texts, concerining my surgery, but most of all, all of your thoughts and prayers. A special thanks to Kayla for covering my jewelry shows, and the Kizer family for taking in Peyton and a dog. I have more hope than fear now.

Love to you all,

Trish
