Just when you think you couldn't
possibly have any more tears .... I read all your sweet, thoughtful, caring posts and there they are again! Thank you all so much!
She came through the surgery fine ... the cancer has only spread to her lymph glands, which they removed along with her left breast. I was so afraid that it had spread other places. All the tests they did showed none in her bones, brain, etc. So, I am just so thankful they are relatively certain that they got it all ... what a relief. Just like I keep telling her, we'll lick this ... we're "Steel Magnolia's" ... tough old birds!!
She is such a clown ... knocked on my door on her way to the hospital early this AM [we were at the same hotel] ... she said "look down there" [long hallway with green carpet] ... she just told her daughter, "look, I'm walking the long green mile"!!!
We about fell in the floor laughing! She will also have chemo & radiation .. her daughter is buying her a pink wig [if she needs it!]!! OK ... we're a little different ... we laugh to keep from crying!!
But ... Patrick and I came home from Denver a few hours ago ... her daughter is staying with her and we are doggysitting Shira ... so, she is doing well, I'm home and I can now cry my eyes out!!! Thank you all so much for your prayers and we're gonna need lots more before this is over. I will update you all tomorrow.
