I just got some awesome pictures in the mail....
Man, Donna, your family photo looks great! As well as the individual of Justy, he's such a handsome kid! I can't believe he's old enough to graduate, I'll always remember him as that little baby with the great hair in the footy pajamas. He was such a cute baby! How in the world did time fly so fast? I have the photos on my Fridge, thanks so much for sending the invite, I love those pictures! Tell Justy I love him and congratulations!

Hey, how come some sisters got a picture and some didn't?????jk UPDATE: I went to the Doc. I will get the drain out of my incision two weeks from Friday. I will go back to work the following Monday. This may be tricky since I cant carry more than 10lbs for a month following surgery. I don't think that is possible. He thinks it will be at least 3 weeks until I begin radiation and chemo. I will start with a low dose chemo on a Friday after work and begin radiation on the following Monday. This will allow me to work, but still have the weekend in case the Chemo is hard on me. I never in a million years thought that I would have cancer. I have always felt so healthy and tried to be healthy. It blows my mind sometimes that I have this, it seems like a weird bad dream, with a wonderful miracle attached (victoria and the fact that they found it in the first place). I love you guys. My ward is doing a ward fast for me next fast Sunday. I thought that was such a kind thing for the Bishop, & relief society to suggest. Thank you for the family fast as well.
Wow, that went fast Wee, only two weeks until back to work? How many weeks old is Victoria? I'm glad they thought to make the Chemo on Fridays. I love you and miss you tons. I'm so proud and glad that your ward is doing a fast for you, that is wonderful! Thanks for the update!
It has been a literal whirlwind. I can't believe that I have been out since May 1st (Victoria's B-day). I sure hope I feel miles better by then. All of the prayers will help, I know it. I can't wait to be back to me. I actually gained weight in the hospital an infuriating side effect of being pumped for 4 days with IV fluid. My belly is swollen from the surgery and they weighed me at my Dr. Apt. (how kind of them since I was avoiding that until I could visually see my stomach shrink. I can't wear anything but sweats for the next two weeks because they left the drain in and just the pressure of a button an zipper make it so painful. I really want to be back to normal as soon as possible. I sure hope Heavenly Father will help me with that. This has been a really humbling experience. More people have seen me without makeup than in the last 20 years combined. I know that seems insecure and vain. I would not be as hard on anyone but myself. I keep praying and trying to give myself a break.
Give yourself that break Wee Wee you are an incredible inspiration. You see the blessing out of all of this and that is your sweet daughter coming down to save your life so that cancer could be found. Words can never describe how much I love and admire you. I sure do miss the SLC girls!
Thank you, that is so kind to say. I found myself in a bit of a funk the other day. I spent a couple of days concentrating on the c word and feeling so very down. I swear S%$#an knows exactly how to discourage people. A lady from my ward had given me a book called 21 days closer to Christ. The chapter that I read yesterday brought my peace back. It was some miracle healings that Jesus performed while on the earth. It truly touched my heart and brought the spirit in when I was so very down and discouraged. I feel like she was inspired to do that. I know now that each day I need to read something spiritual or make time for a long meaningful prayer. Sometimes that is the only way you can get through things is by drawing closer to the Lord. When we feel alone, it is the evil one making us feel that way and distracting, discouraging and playing upon our weaknesses to make us miserable. I sure do wish I could be with you all in Idaho this weekend. I am there in spirit. I also am there in spirit at Justin's graduation, I am so very proud of him. I can't believe so much time has passed.
