Survivor Man

We are in at the Radisson in Minneapolis and feeling a little lost. There seems so much to be said yet words won't come. Mike is doing his bowel prep and waiting for "things" to start happening. Oddly enough Survior Man is on the TV. Some stupid guy taking risks to show the world how brave or stupid he is. You want brave....you should be in Mike's shoes right now.

Surgery is at 1:20 pm so it will be a long dry morning for Mike. We have to be at the hospital at 11:20 am to prepare. I guess. How do you really prepare for any of this? I don't have anything to tell you about how long he will be in surgery or how long he will have to stay at this point. I bet we know that tomorrow.

What I do know is that we will take all the prayers and thoughts we can. I will post as soon as I am able to after surgery.

In the meantime...Peace,
Karen

Risk is from the head. Courage is from the heart. Risk is temporarily blocking out fears. Courage is knowing fears face-to-face and going forward with them and in spite of them, trusting your deepest values to kick in.

For two profoundly courageous people, my prayers are with you today.
