Hi Robin -
I made it through the surgery! I have to think that that is step 1. The doctors were not able to get all of the cancer. They left a tumor on a major vein, but marked it for radiation for later when I'm stronger. They didn't even attempt to work on the breast, and chest cavity issues. I'll be going in for a post op evalution on July 5, and we should learn then when I can start Chemo. and Radiation. I capitalize those two, because they are my friends.
I had the surgery on Thurs. July 21, at 12:00PM, and was back home by Wed. July 27, at 3:00PM. Not bad! I know it was the prayers and warm wishes. I'm moving around like a much older person, which is irritating, but I'm moving, and it will get easier every day. Your "Meditations" remain an important part of my day.
My daughter set up a "Recovery Blog" for us, I hope the following link will work.
http://theboggsfamily.blogspot.com This has made it so much easier in our small town to keep everyone up to date, without exhausting ourselves with explanations.
Who knows, this recovery thing might be the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. I still have a long hard road ahead.
