~~~~ANGEL REPORT #3~~~~Carolyn is on the other side! She had her surgery today and is doing great! I just returned from the hospital where she was resting in her private room and she was in some pain. She has morphine pump and has already had some ice chips. She sat up in a recliner for 2 hours! I am so proud of her. She had two hernia repairs too --one she knew about that was incisional from gall bladder removal years ago and another small umbilical one that she didn't know she had. She is rather grumpy but suddenly when the room was all quiet her sweet singsong voice chirped up "I'm on the other si-id...I'm on the other si-id!" It was really funny and made us all laugh. Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I am going to print her card tomorrow morning to take to her....please leave her a note as she loves to read from you all. I have a special thank you to a very kind lady, SHARON BISHOP. I want to describe a scene for you and I hope this blesses you. My husband, Carolyn, her husband, and I were all in the pre-op waiting area where you get your robe on and iv started, etc. Carolyn was really scared and kind of shaky. I had printed out all the message board to read while waiting for her surgery and I saw your poem of Psalms. Oh my gosh, I was so touched. I immediately held Carolyn's hand and read it to her. Tears were rolling down her cheeks and she said "save that for me. I want to keep that". It was such a joy to share those inspired wonderful words. Thank you so much and may God bless you. You are a wonderful soul! Your words followed her when she left to go to surgery in the next few minutes. What a joyful experience to have friends and supporters like you folks. God surely has blessed us. Thank you.
