(Bryan) So I posted our wedding announcement (without Toni knowing). Just to create a smile.
We are looking forward to the day when the drain tube runs dry. The bottle is a constant and sobering reminder of what has happened. Today in changing Toni's dressing, it was quite evident that the process has become uncomfortable for her, and that made me feel quite sad. We visit with Dr. Calhoun this Thursday (April 30th).
Good news in the coming week will erase many of the difficult discussions we have had and ease the pain of the surgeries. As I type this note, I am looking at one of my favorite pictures of Toni. A vibrant smile sets the tone of her face. It is a picture of a very confident woman; she is at her best. This morning as I observed her, she looked mournfully into the mirror. I can't say enough about how wonderfully beautiful she still is (although I know she feels differently). Her smile has been much more reserved in the past few months, yet everyday I find some way of recreating the smile that adorns her face in this picture before me. If I can find it, I will post it.
