GREAT NEWS…I’M SO HAPPY I’M CRYING

Posted by: johnnahood on: August 20, 2008

Great news from today: the pathology report came back from the surgery (they sent everything to be looked at to make sure they got all the cancer out).  The verdict is they got it all!!!!!  All the margins were clear meaning that the outside cells had no cancer so they took enough extra from around [...]

Home again Home again   yay   I’m home again   Ok so here’s the low down…Kara’s post from this morning very accurate…the procedure for putting in the filter wasn’t horrible though it was the fact they didn’t give me any warning and therefore afterwards, when I couldn’t move for 4 hours, [...]

Update from Kara

Posted by: Kara on: August 14, 2008

Well, again, I don’t know when she’s going to get out, but I thought I’d do a quick update.
