The New Normal

Today was a pretty normal day. I remain so surprised that this has been such a calm experience. I have been a very spiritual person for some time now, and would like to think I am at peace far more than ever before, but to think that I could remain calm through all of this still absolutely amazes me. I can honestly say that I have not had a moment of terror or panic. It's almost surreal. I have no doubt in my mind that the qigong treatment I had with Joe the day before surgery is the secret to the calm. I know.
I had some visitors today, only took pain meds 3/4 into the day, and I was able to get around quite well. All is well. Here are some photos of the healing garden at Mass General - what a beautiful place - on one of the rooftops.
