Surgery Follow-up

My week after surgery re-check went very well. Dr. Sharma took all my restrictions off: I can drive, lift, exercise, etc. Yeah! All the tests were just fine on what he took out and I'm healing well, just in time for the holidays.

What a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year we'll have.

The best of Holidays to all of you.

My First "Part"

Here it is, my first hair part! Same color, curly and growing. That's what we like to see.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Be well.

Second Surgery Over

A note to let everyone know that my surgery (removal of ovaries and tubes) scheduled for yesterday went well and I came home safe and sound last evening. I'll have a couple weeks recovery time and it looks like 2009 will be a healthy year!

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers, I know they've made a big difference in my healing.

Merry Christmas!

December 2008

Wow, here we are in December. What a lot has happened this year! Our beautiful country has a new president elect, spring, summer, fall have all come and gone and winter is blanketing the garden in sparkling white. My grandchildren have grown taller and wiser and my whole little family is healthy, lovely and nearby.

Our house is decorated for Christmas and Jay and I had the privilege of lighting the Advent candle at our 8:00 a.m. service last Sunday. God is good and has smiled on us all year. I'm feeling healthy, strong and loved.

Next week, I'll have a small, laproscopic surgery, which will help ensure that cancer will not revisit my body soon. My cancer was estrogen fed, so my doctors all felt I should have my ovaries and tubes taken out. Thus, eliminating another source of estrogen. Who can argue with that logic? I'm all for modern science and have faith in my doctors to keep me healthy. I expect to be home the same day and up and running in a couple of days after that. Jay is done teaching until January, so this was a perfect time for him to baby me a little.

Then, it's Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone!
