The doctor isn't worried...

So I guess I won't be either.  The doctor said that this was the same spot that was the hardest to close, and that we're just going to watch it for another week and see how it goes until I see him again next Wednesday.  The week after that is when he would go in and finish up the work, and he said he would be able to fix the defect then.  He said I could start sipping water today, as planned, and that I was only allowed to look in the back of my throat once a day and that's it.  He wants me to start living life like I'm healing and to keep moving forward.  He is a spiritual man, and said that God wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle, and He's only given me this much because I have so much support around me.  Which is so true.  Even Cody remembered this morning that today was the day I could start drinking water again.  He's so concerned, and hugs me and reassures me all the time.  And I'm glad Kassy can focus on her studies again, at least for awhile, and not worry about me too much (I hope).  I'm even going to take the dog to the groomer today to help get back into the groove of things a little.  Gotta start somewhere, right?

God is love.
