Road to Recovery

Last night was such a trying night for [livejournal.com profile] iahklul, [livejournal.com profile] beg1n and myself in spirit. While I could not be there physically for Jeff, I was there the entire time sending the energy and love I have for Jeff, and energy and strength for Phil! Phil called me at 3:35am to let me know the good news. I was so relieved and so greatful. Jeff still has a ways to go.

I'm really torn as to what to do with the upcoming week. I am leaving today for Florida while my best friend is in ICU recovering from major surgery. He said to me before he went in that we are only allowed to be optimistic and that he is going to be alright and I am to go and enjoy myself. He also said he could not take me to the airport today!! That made me laugh! :-)

Today is going to be a rough day for me! Full work day, Jeff in my thoughts, travel in my thoughts. I know Jeff is going to come through because he is strong! And when I get back from Florida, I expect Jeff to be home waiting for me to visit to tell him all about my week! I wish he could go with me!

Phil, thanks for being there for Jeff. You are a wonderful inspiring person!

And thanks to everyone who has been thinking of Jeff and Phil! You are all wonderful people!!

you should feel good about going on your trip for the same reason that i am not coming out there this weekend...

i suggested to my roomie that i was going to, and he said i should wait until jeff is at home...

he will have enough visitors at hospital to tire him out , no doubt. and when he will really need people is after he gets home, but may not feel like getting out.

i thought i'd come out for a day or two after i get back from NYC next week.

he knows you love him, and he would want you to go have fun and be back for him when he's feeling up to things a bit more.

Thanks so much hunni for the reply. I totally makes sense, and I really look forward to seeing Jeff safe and at home a week from Monday!! :-)

Glad to hear all is apparently well!

I went back a few posts to try to find out just what kind of tumor it was and where, but didn't locate that information. Could you fill me in? Of course, I don't know Jeff at all, but I'm curious now.

Big hugs to you.
