From Inside the Cocoon

 

All is well from inside my little cocoon.  I am on my third day post surgery, and so far so very very good.  I have been cared for,  I have had visitors.  Flowers have been delivered.  I can sleep well.  

I have spent time reading my latest Vera Stanhope book and then setting it down and reading more from "Sitting with Sufis".  I have watched a little television.  I did have a very good women's basketball game on yesterday later in the afternoon, Notre Dame beat USC, it was a great game - yay for the Irish.  Both teams have stellar, stand out stars Juju Watkins from USC and Hanna Hidaldo (and Olivia Miles) from Notre Dame.  The Irish took the lead early and held off all of the home court attempts of USC to get back in the lead.  It is going to be a fun season, and I am already dreaming if I might go to Birmingham, Alabama or Spokane, Washington to be a part of March Madness!  

Mostly, I am just here, in my little cocoon of healing, of taking it easy,  of letting my body come back to more of its own self after surgery.  I am feeling more tired today, it is easier to just close my eyes and be still.  It is chilly, and wet and grey outside.  The sky has been white/grey for days and I find myself thinking that this is a good time to have to be inside, inside in my little cocoon.  I am being taken care of in so many ways, phone calls, food being dropped off, friends coming to stay.  I continue to rest, to go easy, to not do too much.

November carries on.  The house is warm.  I am safe in my little cocoon.  The healing continues.  All is as good as it can be right now, I'll take it!
