Hoping

see more Lolcats and funny pictures, 

...the stats work in my favor today.

My sister is in the hospital for yet another stretching out of a scar tissue infested throat.  I've lost count of how many of these she has had in the last two years but it is the one the summer of 09 that always looms in the imagination each time since then for that time complications nearly took her life and she spent a month in the hospital recovering--most of that in ICU.

She was to go into surgery at 11AM Pacific Coast time for a one hour procedure and it is now more than twelve hours later and I haven't heard a word.  The silence on her fb feels ominous as she is constantly updating and commenting on friend's walls.

Have you noticed how hard it is to tell the difference between praying and fretting from the outside?  Today it feels just as hard to tell the difference from the inside.
