Grateful Friday

just do it.

Dr. Estelle Yamaki

As I just had my first post-op appointment with the best doctor in the whole-wide world, I am so very grateful for modern medicine, a way out of deep depression and anxiety, and robotic/laparoscopic surgery techniques that made recovery so much quicker. What a marvel! I am thankful for St. Joe's hospital and all the staff there, for all my beloved family and friends who attended to me both in the hospital and at home, for those same people that told me to sit down when I needed to recuperate (they were rather bossy, actually), and for the miracle of healing afforded us by the Holy One.
