Hey everybody! I found an internet kiosk at the hospital so I thought I'd write a quick update.
Thanks everyone for coming to visit- it's incredibly boring in here, I just sit in my room on an IV pretty much, so visitors are welcome!! As Kyle updated, I have to wait to Monday to find out when I'll get in for surgery. The doctors have told me that it may even be a week or so, so if that's the case, I'll probably be sent home, maybe on day passes, or maybe even at night, depending on meds, to wait for the surgery.
I've had some interesting experiences in the hospital, including having a homeless roomie named Billy (shame none of you guys got to meet him, he was a character) and a very spunky 90-year old named Rose who told me her secret is to "use it or lose it".
The nurses are pretty great, and today I got taken off a saline drip, so I'm no longer tied to the IV (which Stu christened "Olga") except for a little bit here and there for meds. I got a daypass for the day tomorrow to go for dinner for Mother's Day, and I may even be able to make it to church, if they let me out early enough!
So, God willing, I'll see some of you guys tomorrow at church!
Again, thanks for all the prayers and visits and gifts, and I'll make sure to update (or at least get Kyle to do so) as news comes!

Good luck with your surgery! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I had 13 cm of intestine removed and was on my feet again after about a week, so you shouldn't be stuck in the hospital for too long. (I know, I know, every day is a day too much, but all things considered ...) On the upside, you'll probably get to spend a couple of days on a morphine drip, and you'll just generally be feeling loads better once it's over.
*hugs*
hmm.... morphine drip... sounds lovely.... but the surgery will suck!
Let me know if you need anything - Kyle is supposed to update me first!!!!!
