SIMPLE ISN'T ALWAYS SIMPLE
For those who regularly follow this journal, Karon stayed home from work today! It wasn't that she was necessarily being sensible! It was necessitated by the pain. The surgical procedure she had performed yesterday was supposed to be simple. I guess it was simple for the doctor. But we weren't prepared for the amount of pain associated with the procedure. So she's home, at least for the morning. That's a good thing.
The doctor did tell me that he had difficulty locating the vein in which to place the portacath. That probably accounts for the additional amount of pain beyond what is normally experienced with this type of a surgical procedure.
There you have it.
Karon and I are reading a book together. We're not finished with it but already I want to post an entry about it. The book title is, "The Scandal of the Evangellical Conscience." Look for my Post very soon.
And thanks again to all you faithful readers of this thing called a Blog, or Journal, or whatever it's called, for your love, prayers and continued concern for us.

Glad she stayed home, Jim. It's hard to talk people like me (and Karon) into being quiet and still and let the healing happen, but it really is the best thing. You should *both* have a good rest and enjoy each other's company. Illness can be exhausting for everyone, and you seem to be of the personality type that is extremely good at taking care of people and knowing what their needs are (have you taken the MBTI sorter--I'm guessing ISFJ or INFX?). Sometimes caretakers need a reminder that they, too, need rest.

She stayed in for the morning! I guess I take what I can get! :) I'm not familiar with the MBTI. More info, please.

here is a personality test based on the myers-briggs sorter (MBTI), which is based on some theories by cg jung. it's 72 questions, but they're all just yes and no. if you take it, definitely let me know how it turns out!
like all systems meant to predict human behavior and understand the differences between people, myers-briggs has its flaws, but it has generally helped me understand myself and others better. i study it as a hobby, though my obsession is waning a bit (a good thing).
