I can't even believe it! I should be making all my gift deliveries today, but find my self sitting by the space heater, watching Oprah's "Favorite Things" show instead!
Christmas day this year will be one for the record books and one I hope to never repeat!! I'm scheduled for my liver resection on Wednesday, 12/21 @7am and anticipating a 4-6 day hospital stay. Under the best of circumstances, I may be able to go home on Christmas Day.
Regardless, there will be much to celebrate.My mom is flying in from Hawaii & 2 of my sisters from California to be with me. I'm usually the one that makes the treck to the West Coast from Atlanta, so this year I feel spoiled that my family is braving the chaos of holiday travel. This year, we will be connected, more than ever in prayer & strong faith on Christmas Day.
Certainly I would prefer a beach in Hawaii to a hospital room in Atlanta, but this year I'm getting the greatest gift...can it be called a gift when they're taking away 65% of my liver? All I know is they're leaving NED behind & that truly is a GIFT...
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, or as we say in Hawaii,
Mele Kalikimaka!

Keeping the Faith~
