A beautiful day

and I've spent it in bed so my swollen right knee will get better. Tonight I am attending the Oakland Hebrew Day School Gala, its big fundraising affair, as the guest of a friend. Thank goodness my only decent black cocktail dress fits me. It's such a warm day that I'm loathe to wear pantyhose - good thing I got a pedicure.

The drain is still draining, the 24-hour total was 35 cc, so I'm not done yet. Veronica hopes to remove it on Wednesday, but we'll see.

I just took a shower, and while I was finishing up in the bathroom I took a look at my scar and it took my breath away. I got a little woozy thinking about it. I guess the shock/denial phase of this is coming to an end. Good thing I've started with a therapist.

Pray for more beautiful days like this.
