A Daughter's Love

Friday, May 20 I had my barnacles removal surgery.  The doctor made a fairly small cut along my hair line & removed the two lumps that had grown on my skull.  Everyone said they really didn't notice them until I pointed them out.  However I noticed them & they bothered me.  So I had them removed.  I went in at 8 am & left at 1 pm.  No excitement to report.  All went well.  Recovery has been easy although my forehead is swollen & I look like a creature from Avatar since today the swelling moved down between my eyebrows. I'm taking tomorrow off from work & I hope the swelling will be gone by Tuesday when I return to work!!

The best part of Friday, Saturday & Sunday has been the love my daughter has shown me.  She was with me the whole time & took very good care of me.  She was the best.  We actually had quite a few laughs along the way which I think helped my spirits.  She was very prompt with making sure I took my post surgery medications & she checked on me every hour while she stayed with me the rest of the day.  She helped me Saturday as well.  The best part of Saturday was she & her family came over.  She & hubby brought & made a great dinner while the kids played.  Grandchildren always raise your spirits.  I could really feel how much she wanted to help me & how much she loves me.  It was funny watching the two of them working in the kitchen together.  It was a hoot, but they did a good job turning out a delicious dinner.  Great team work.  They also brought over Gulliver's Travels with Jack Black.  I hadn't seen it so it was fun to watch.  A really perfect evening.

What a wonderful thing to have happen.  She showed me the best of herself with compassion, caring, & love.  She's been taking college classes to become a nurse & I think she really will make a good one.  She's so smart she could do anything.  Nursing is a great choice for her.  I'm so proud of her.

She's inspired me as well.  I am looking into Strayer University's program for a Business Administration degree with a concentration on Human Resources.  I already have a lot of credits for the degree so maybe I'll be able to get my bachelor's degree a little quicker.  We'll see.  But the bug to get my degree is back. 

This has been a very successful experience all around.  All to help me find out who I wannabe.
