Home Sweet Home!

Greetings from Atlanta!

Today it has been 2 weeks since my first surgery! I can’t believe it. I must admit that I was told by many, I read about it, the doctors told me, everything, but nothing can really prepare you for being awake while they are drilling holes in your head!?!?!? I haven’t quite found the word to describe that experience, but I am grateful it is over and done with.

First, I must say THANK YOU! Thank you to Life for the multitude of blessings I constantly receive. Thank you Barb for opening your home to me for me to stay during my surgeries and my recovery. Thank you Sheri for flying up with me and being with me during the first surgery and the few days after! Thank you Tonya for helping me during the weekends. Thanks Margaret for flying up and being with me during my second surgery and those OUCHIE nights! Thanks mom for your love and being with me during this challenging time. Thank you Susan for flying up with me for that first doctor’s appointment. Thanks to everyone for your visits—Mr.Ken, Pete, Scott, Juanathan, Christine, Tonya! Thanks for all the calls, the emails, the cards, the notes, the prayers! I know that operating room was filled with a multitude of Angels watching over me. ¡Gracias mi Abuelita por cuidar sobre mi! Thanks to everyone who has altered his/her schedule to help take care of me---I wouldn’t have been able to make it without you—Bill, Suzanne, Alix, Deb, Margaret, Sheri, Susan, Margie, Renie. Thank you for all of your donations. I will never be able to thank everyone or fully express my gratitude to everyone for everything! Above all, thank you all for your love! Many of you comment on my strength and my courage, but the the one thing that has gotten me through all of this is the unconditional love that I have received from everyone around me and the absolute faith in ALL THAT IS! I know how TRULY RICH I am because my Life is filled with so much love. Every morning, I put myself at service to Life—Thank You!

Today Sheri removed the bandages from the incisions from my chest and on Friday she will remove the staples from my head—there goes my idea of being Frankenstein for Halloween?!?! Humor makes everything that much easier! Next week I head to NY to be “turned on” and for my first programming session. Thank you Miguelito for taking me—I truly appreciate it!

I will post soon!

Thank you again and I adore you all!
Millie
