Recovery and Laughter





































I am recovering well from my surgery with a couple of speed bumps that are frustrating. After the surgery one of my vocal chords was paralyzed and I also have trouble swallowing. My voice is getting a little better, but it is a very slow process. The swallowing issue is hard for me to deal with. I love to eat and now I have to be very careful with what I consume. One thing that I've found easy to eat is pie. I've included a picture of a butterscotch pie I made the other night. I had a big craving and had to make it happen.














One thing that has helped in my recovery is Mary Ann. If it weren't for her I don't know what I would have done. I don't know how I will ever be able to repay her or let her know how much her presence has meant to me. I am sure the pictures I want to include probably aren't the right way to show this, but they are great pictures.

The Scar

Here is a picture of my scar 5 days after the operation. They got a lot of the tumor out but it was intwined in a lot of nerves so they couldn't get it all. It looks as if I will have some more decisions down the road. Right now I am just enjoying being at home and sleeping A LOT!!!
Thanks for everyones cards and support!
