Day 3 of the cancer maze
Michelle says:
"It's been the hardest and longest 3 days of my life. I couldn't have done it without all of the emails and messages of love and support. I'm reading every email, I just don't have the energy to write back. Oh, and please hold off on the fart jokes, it hurts too much to laugh!
"Today I'm grateful for Mary, my great cancer warrior buddy in the next bed. She has a great northern Irish accent.
"Because we love *you*, we're posting this picture, my first solid bite of food, instead of my giant incision that goes from my pubic bone to my sternum! Maybe if I'm bored and can't sleep tonight I'll count the staples."

Great to see your smiling face, and glad those first tough days are behind you now. Get all the rest you need, and know that we are all cheering you on from a far. Anne Marie, Richard, and the lunatic corgis too!
Yes! bananas are a great food!!! ;P it's the canarian superfood!! Great to hear that you're getting better!
Steve, Jayden, Kora, Amiga and I are all sending our love your way. I'm looking forward to going for a big walk with you when you get back. I keep thinking back to that kayak trip that we did in Baja where the guides served us coffee in our sleeping bags :-) We should definitely do that again!
Brava! Congratulations on getting whole food! Keep those smiles coming. Your roomie sounds like a good companion. Looking forward to your next post!
Thank you so much for the update. It is so great to see your smiling face. First bananas then comes the haggis is British hospital food better than American hospital food? Love love love you Michelle and Bruce
You are a trooper! Look at you go. And Sláinte mhaith! to you and Mary.
Through it all, you always have that fetching smile of yours. You look great. Keep healing. One day at a time. Sending healing energy.
Yeah! You look great, rosy cheeks and a banana to boot. Soft eating is great. You have a beautiful cheering squad. Sounds like Mary is part of the family. Your smile is warming. Thank you for letting us know how you are doing. I am sending hugs and sloppy hugs for Bruce too. Love Nan and Evelyn too.
