I am seven days post-op and recovery is going pretty smoothly. I continually fight with my tendencies to "get things done" in my usual efficient manner. Healing takes time! I am reading that stack of books in the corner, watching the birds at the feeder in the backyard, and learning to knit. (Okay, Faith - I'm stuck, you'll have to come and help me with the next stitch.) Two of my sisters, Nora and Carol, arrived Tuesday evening and have been wonderful company and even better house slaves. (ha-ha) I will have the cleanest house in Girard by the time they leave on Sunday. Of course, Marlin is getting used to the gourmet cooking and will soon be disappointed in the sandwich meals sure to come in the next few weeks. My third sister, Luanne, will come Friday for the day. My brother is my mail carrier and has delivered your cards and notes to me daily. I really enjoy and truly appreciate all of them. I am suddenly an old lady - looking for the mailman!
I return to St. Louis next Tuesday, April 22, for follow up with my surgeon. I have an appointment on Wednesday with the oncologist in Pittsburg to plan chemotherapy - hopefully to start by the end of April.
I continue to lean on the Lord for strength and solice during this time. I know there are hundreds on people praying for me and I feel your loving embrace.
Blessings to you all - every one.
Love to all - Ellen

Ellen, if anyone can beat this you can. Your positive attitude and strength from our Lord.
I am praying for your body to have physical endurance to handle the treatments and your mind to rest in Jesus. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."Isaiah 41:10
