Jody doing well. We get some good news. RSS explained.
A day after the surgery, and Jody is doing great. She's still in pain, but mostly just uncomfortable. On the plus side: unlike 4 years ago, she can empty her drain by herself this time, thank you very much.
Jody's surgeon called today and told us she'd removed three more lymph nodes during the procedure—and all of them came out clean (negative for disease). This is great news. More on that in a future post.
Some of you are wondering what the heck RSS is. I'll try to explain, and then send you places that will do a better job than I can.
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. The basic idea behind it is to allow you to easily stay up to date on your favorite websites, particularly News sites or online blogs. Here's how it works:
A site broadcasts its updated articles or posts to the web via sitefeeds. When you find a site you want to keep tabs on, you subscribe to it...or more accurately, to its feed. To do this, you have to have an aggregator, something which checks the feeds for you. Some browsers (such as Safari on the Mac) have an aggregator built right into them. If yours doesn't, you need to download one. (A popular free aggregator is Freereader.) Once you've subscribed, your aggregator will tell you when there are new posts or articles on a site, and will even give you a few words from each post so you can see if the content interests you.
Get it? If not, try looking at this article about RSS.
Once again, we are now RSS-enabled; clicking on the orange icon in the sidebar will give you our sitefeed address. Enjoy!
