PictureSvea's beeswax gifts of love and protection.
       Svea's beeswax gifts of love and protection sit on my windowsill.  An angel, birds, wands, sea star, bunny, apple, and banana watch over me.  Tomorrow, Thursday we head down to Mayo again.  I'll be having my second phase of reconstructive surgery on Friday. This is when I'll get the "real deals", the breast implants.  The saline-filled expanders come out and the silicone implants go in. I hope to be home again Friday night.  I'm not one to stay in the hospital, so I'll be grateful if I can be released home.  I'll be stuck at home for awhile, so come visit if you like.  I won't be able to drive for a few weeks.  I'll be off work for 6 weeks. I can't wait to get back to my pregnant mamas and other clients.  I hope to be well enough to make some long overdue home visits soon.
      I forgot to put my hat on once when I left the house to go grocery shopping earlier this week.  Hatless. First time since September.  I've decided to color my hair because it's coming in so gray and straight. So, tomorrow morning I'll be back to my beloved Sassy Lu Salon for some dark brown.  Then it's on to my fantastic acupuncturist Jennifer Blair at the Penny George Institute for Integrative Medicine. She will place some acupressure bebe's for quick healing and remind me of my guided imagery for safe passage during surgery.
     I've opened up a few slots for meals on the "How Can I Help" page.  I figure we could use a few home cooked meals over the next 2 weeks, then hopefully I'll be back in the saddle again.  (Just please don't mind the messy garage if you come to deliver some food to our refrigerator.)  I love being able to smell and taste again! Thanks in advance for your continued help with food and gifts of time.
     I have good energy.  I'm optimistic.  Prayers, thoughts, candles.....always welcome.  Love to all.
