Just got back home around an hour ago. Here is how the day went. Heavy traffic getting down there, a couple of accidents. Now fathom this: during admissions the admissions clerk said that insurance had not approved the surgery--not in my wildest dreams is such a nightmare possible. Buddha, are you kidding me? Before a total meltdown, Dr. Bahador, Summer's surgeon, miraculously walked through, heard about it, and left to make some calls. 10 minutes later he got to the bottom of it and the meltdown was put on pause. All systems go now after that.
She entered surgery at 11 am in very good spirits as well as the surgical team and Dr. Bahador came out at around 3:30. He removed the two tumors and everything else threatening. No bowel resection was required so that will aid recovery a lot.
She started to respond around 6:30 but was kind on in and out for several hours. When I left she wanted the lights off. I left her in good hands with nurses. A successful day. Now the recovery phase begins.
Summer and I thank you all for your energy blessings!
Love,
Jim

Jim,
I know it must've been one heck of a hectic today for you but so glad that everything turned out o.k. and now she is on her way to a speedy recovery. How long will she be in the hospital and does she wants any visitors?

It's interesting that today's message from DailyOm is exactly perfect - in that it's a tuning exercise for the lower chakras.
I can almost hear Summer's voice guiding this clearing and strengthening exercise. We'll do the lion's roar for you today, Summer, so you roar soon enough...

Digging Deep For Healing
Rooting Down
For many people, apprehension manifests itself in the physical self as a potent feeling of heaviness or nausea situated in the depths of the lower abdomen. And it is there, at the seat of the second or sacral chakra, that we must lovingly and deliberately confront the anxiety. By rooting down into the deepest physical reaches of ourselves, we can
cleanse ourselves of unease and replenish the space it has left behind with tranquil awareness. Much of what we encounter in our daily lives has the potential to awaken feelings of nervousness within us or make us question whether we are truly in control of our lives. When you establish a
den of peace within your core, you empower yourself to act rather than react in distressing situations. Your balanced second chakra helps you respond productively to the turmoil around you while your inwardly directed attention steadies you.
There are many ways to restore your strength and clear negative energy from your core. To ground yourself and regain your emotional
equilibrium, concentrate on the second chakra, picturing it as a funnel of vivid orange light. Reach down toward that light with your awareness and channel your breath into the space it occupies. As you balance the chakra, you will become more adaptive and thus better able to stand strong when
faced with rapidly changing conditions. You can channel healing energy into your core by visualizing the area below your belly button as an open space into which you channel white, loving light. Like light and air, sound can be a wonderful tool that helps you find your center. Your voice, when drawn from your core in the form of a deep roar or loud
shout, can be the vehicle upon which your anxiety is conveyed into the ether. Take a low stance, much like a football player, root your feet into the earth, and then roar like a lion. Really feel it in your belly! It may sound silly, but chances are you will feel much less anxious and much more grounded into your body.
A situation that seems hopeless when viewed from a perspective colored by fear may become easily manageable when approached with a serene heart and mind. As you root down into your core, you'll discover that the trepidation and helplessness you feel within you is not invincible.
Rather, it will respond readily to your efforts to eradicate it, leaving you feeling peaceful and capable of calmly handling any challenging circumstances that arise.

Jim and Summer,
I am working in La Jolla today and will come by this evening to drop something off. Having been an RN, I know some of what Summer is going through. It takes so much courage and Strenght. If I can do something for you when I drop by I will. Love Suzie S
