Jen,
I had similar surgery with a 5-week recovery time. I used the time like an extended retreat–journaling, putting together a puzzle (symbolic of the pieces of my life), writing poems, doing exercises from your book on retreats, and letting people take care of me for once. I wish you a happy, peaceful recovery too.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

i laughed til i cried when i read “do i have to organize this mess” in the middle of everything going on.

and your veins, oy vey!!! some people just don’t know how to shut up and do their job do they. . . . incredible how insensitive staff can be.

yet through it all you find an orderly to laugh with – that’s just you jen. finding the love in your naughty knotty veins.

so glad that bob was there with you and that you can feel how much you are loved – around the globe!

congrats on the microsoft thing too – must be nice to have that behind you.

you’ve done a masterful job of going through this with your heart wide open. awesome witnessing this from the sidelines for me.

Oh Lynne I am so sorry about your Dad. I have certainly been there. It is so amazing, and hard, and heart expanding

Thanks for all your comments – I am so tired of the gas but otherwise, great.
