Upward and onward!
Hi everyone. This is Becca dictating to Don, giving Don free rein to add his thoughts in parenthesis. I'm happy to report that I have been hungry and able to eat, and have gotten up to pee once so far. My pain is under control. I've had no nausea. I'm contemplating the menu for dinner at this moment. Don and Margot have been wonderful - it is great to have a doctor in the family, and it is great to have Margot here for many other reasons as will. The hospital staff have also been lovely. I hear the surgeon will come to visit soon. Thank you all for all your messages and well wishes. It is very weird to dictate rather than to write. We brought some items from the August Letting Go ritual to decorate my room. (She was pretty bossy while she was dictating; I guess that makes her a dictator.)

May you heal quickly. Sending healing energy your way.
What a fun post!
Tears of gratitude for your smile, Becca.
I hope you can now change the title of the site to "renewed hope"
Very funny pun. I'm glad to see that your sunny self has returned. Love Joan
Good to "hear" from you indirectly and to note that Don has kept his quirky sense of humor! So glad for good results.
Glad to hear things are going well!
A benevolent dictator, I trust! Glad to see the smile! Glad Don is able to be there -- SO IMPORTANT to have people there to support and advocate and care. Gratitude for all that and for the healing that is happening now and will continue to happen.
I love you both! Fantastic.
Thanks for all the updates today. I am so glad you're through surgery and back to yourself. Hopefully you'll be writing instead of dictating very soon. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
I can hear Don's chuckle as he wrote about Becca's new moniker as "dictator". Who knew he was a punster! I imagine there is a lot of relief lightening things up for you both....surgery done; nodes clear.....hurrah! And, then there's Becca's smile....as bright as ever. Watch out world, she's coming back! Love, love, love!
YEAH!!

So good to see you smiling and Don joking... Good night, sweet happy dreams, Bilha
Oh, more joy! Dictation be damned - I totally heard YOUR voice throughout, dear Becca! As Micha would say, sending you "Knuffels" - the Dutch word for hug or snuggle. : )
Dear Becca -I'll be dancing for your strength and courage today in Dancing with the Divine. Keep shining! Ann
So nice to see your smile and hear your news this morning and to have a good chuckle, too. Wishing you deep well-being. Diana
Bravo! Upward and onward. Big hugs, Mary
My eyes are filled with tears, yet my mind is thinking curly hair...Ya think....Get a team to do head rubs to stimulate hair growth (semi-kidding) and maybe you can join me as a curly headed person....Be well as you have many years ahead to irritate, motivate, mentor, postulate, pray, learn...oh you get it...
Thanks for all the updates. And nice to see Becca smiling :) I hope the goodness keeps flowing.
