This week is all about what I’m thankful for…
1. Getting through my first surgery with no major problems. I spent 8 days in the hospital that time and 5 days after the second surgery, and I had wonderful nurses with both my stays. Believe me, it makes a difference!
2. I’m thankful for my family and friends who came to see me, called or emailed. Knowing you were thinking and praying for me has been a blessing.
3. I’m extremely thankful for my husband, daughter, son and mom who make sure I am taken care of at all times. Whether it’s just sitting with me or seeing that I make it to my many appointments, they have been awesome!!
4. I’m thankful for a wonderful surgeon who was on the ball and took action when infection set in even if it meant I had to go into surgery again. (I wasn’t very happy the day I got the call, more like shocked but I’m thankful now, 
)
5. I’m thankful for the ET nurses who though I call it my torture sessions, 3 times a week they bring me closer to being whole again and rid of this Wound VAC!!! 
6. I’m thankful for the special time I have had spending with my mom while she has been staying with me. A gal is never too old for her momma and I have loved having mine here.
7. I’m also thankful for all the beautiful flowers and plants I have received!! My sister got me the coolest plant, a Zebra plant…very cool! If there is any perk of having surgery and being in the hospital, it’s getting gorgeous floral arrangements and plants!! 
8. I’m very thankful for a husband who is not only being a nurse, but has taken over all the household duties, and overlooked my uncontrollable emotions, one minute I’m fine the next I’m crying….it’s driving me nuts. The man is a saint!!! I love this man more than words can ever say!
9. OK, this one is a bit selfish, I’m so thankful for my new laptop!!!! Hubby bought it for me knowing I would need it while recuperating. Is he not the best?
10. The sweet watermelon and cantaloupe that hubby has kept in stock for me…..very thankful! 
11. Thankful for the 20 pounds I have lost since my surgery!!! 
12. Thankful for drugs…the legal kind, of course…seriously, I thank God for them right now!!
13. And last, I’m thankful that I can share this beautiful photo with you….

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. I have only had outpatient surgery for teeth and skin, but yours sounds like a bit more life-consuming. Happy TT and thanks for sharing your positive reports!
