Meet Buster: My Big, Fat Tumor

I woke up at 7am this morning in my own bed. I had one of the best, most restful night’s sleep in over a month. What a gift that is. I woke just briefly a few times, once getting up to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, my catheter was dutifully filling up by the side of the bed.

I left the hospital around 5pm yesterday. Kasha went over my new prescription drug needs with Nurse Kathy and discussed nutrition. I have no dietary restrictions really, but I’m making the effort to eat healthy, green and organic. I haven’t had a cigarette since the day I was first admitted to the hospital (June 19th) but I do still think about it. There are some mornings where a coffee and smoke seem like the best thing, but then the nostalgic urge passes and I get on with myself.

Today is Kasha’s and my one month wedding anniversary. Our actual ceremony was supposed to take place tomorrow, July 11th. We still have a box of 60+ expensive wedding invitations to attest to that. I’d like to get them sent out to everyone this weekend, along with an explanation of why we moved the wedding forward and links to our websites (this blog and the wedding photo site).

There are no plans made yet today. No doctor appointments or professional deadlines. I do have a few tasks for my web business I’ll take care of this morning, but otherwise I’m free to do whatever I want today. What a wonderful feeling. It’s a good day.
