Post Op
As the global financial markets were turned upside down yesterday, I was tuned out. This afternoon, I returned home after a brief hospital stay.
The benefits of having a daughter-doctor are enormous. Nicole, a pediatrician at our local hospital, arranged the best physician to perform the surgery that I underwent yesterday.
The procedure, which was nothing too serious, had been planned for awhile and was necessary after giving birth to my kids so many years ago. And it was a small price to pay for my three shining diamonds: Nicole, Howard, and Michael.
It all started yesterday morning at 7:00 a.m. By 10:30, I was on the road to recovery. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my daughter was working in the same hospital. She visited me throughout my stay. My sons, Howard and Michael, and my husband Saeed were there to show their support as well.
I left the hospital today. Saeed picked me up around 4:00 p.m. Yesterday, he brought me a red rose from our backyard. At the time it was a modest bud, not ready to reveal itself to the world. By the time I left, it unveiled its fully blossomed beauty. What a wonderful representation of my successful hospital stay.
Will I be able to sit still?
I’ll be recovering for the next few days. As my family and friends know, I thrive on goal accomplishment, serving others, and maintaining a full calendar. This will be a test of my ability to relax. And I’d better do so because it’s doctor’s orders.
I’m not allowed to lift anything heavier than my cell phone (I'll confess that it's been a trusted hospital accessory as I stay abreast of business back at the office), and I must avoid bending.
Some Rest & Relaxation Before the Hospital Stay
Before I went the hospital on Monday, Saeed and I took a trip to Vancouver. It was a perfect way to prepare myself emotionally and physically for the medical procedure. Although the operation was far from life and death, I don’t know anyone who enjoys surgery, not matter how minor.
Blogging will be a welcome outlet for me since I won’t be able to run around making business happen. Speaking of which, I closed another escrow prior to my surgery and another sale will wrap up shortly.
Next time, I’ll share more about my trip to Vancouver—Life threw a lesson at me while I was in Canada. And I’ll provide my observations regarding the current upheaval of our nation’s economy.
For now, I'd like to extend my immense gratitude to all my friends and family for their thoughts and prayers. ♦Digg it ♦del.icio.us ♦Add to Technorati Faves
