Thanks!

I want to thank all my family and friends for  the generosity of their prayers, without them  I really feel I would not be posting this...... in the beginning of September, I was diagnosed with uterus cancer, as you know I was in the hospital in September to get a D+C my gynecologist was not going to do a biopsy but my pap test came back with one cancer cell she knew she had to do a biopsy and that came back positive that it was uterus cancer...... so I did my research online to one of the closest hospitals in our area.  I found a wonderful oncologist who performed a hysterectomy on October 27....... no words cannot explain how wonderful my experience was from my first visit to my operation...... this Dr. was caring and showed so much concern for my well-being and explained everything what he was going to do and what he expected from the outcome.... I would have the operation and most likely come home the same day.... And I did........ same-day surgery,WOW!    Medicine has come so far that you could have a hysterectomy and come home the same day  blows my mind.....

I have one hurdle to overcome yet and that is the pathology report to find out if I need radiation my doctor is 90% sure I do not but he said there is always that 10%......  I know God has my back and I will leave it in his hands.......   In turn I intend to pray daily for all the sick!
......   facing cancer put a whole new perspective on  my life.....

As far as hooking goes I really have not done too much I am a person that gets very depressed   and get anxiety over what is going to happen ...... It  was really hard for me to focus on other things, I tend to concentrate on the problem at hand .....


 I hope to be back to normal, real soon I was allowed to drive after five days , which was wonderful
. to get  out of the house....  I still cannot lift more than 5 pounds for couple more weeks .

 All my friends have been in touch with me , which means so much asking how I am doing and giving me their good wishes for a speedy recovery.......I received a package of wicked whoopies from Beth and Jill .. two of my friends from Grant Street.Wool Works hookin.....


 They want me to tell them, which is my favorite flavor as of now I think the red velvet is in first place .

My wish is that  everyone has a wonderful, happy, healthy weekend!!!....

    Nettie,
    I haven't been up to Grant Street for ages, so didn't get the news. It's frightening to hear the C-word, to say the least! I am so glad you came through the surgery OK! Take it easy and allow yourself to heal. You will be in my prayers! HUGS!!!

    What a "sweet" package from Beth and Jill! It really is amazing at how fast they get you in and out of a hospital these days. Glad the operation went well. I'm with all your other family and friends as we pray for good results from your test. Take care and Rest up to get your strength back!

    Nettie,
    It's not easy to go through what you are going through...... the mental stress along with the surgery. I am glad to hear that things are going well now and that you had a good Dr! You are blessed to have such good friends there at Grant St. and family who are caring. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Get rested and regain your strength! You can't keep a good hooker down for long!!
    Hugs!

    Nettie,
    Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's folks like you who help me keep my life in perspective....yeah, having my purse stolen out of my car is totally no big deal compared to what you are going through. I'll keep you in my thoughts....sounds like you have a really great doctor. Best wishes, Tammy

    Oh Nettie, it's so sweet of you to wish me Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
    Although as Canadians, we celebrated Thanksgiving in October, I am thankful all year round for still being alive and relatively healthy.

    It saddens me that you have been diagnosed with uterine cancer but I'm glad that you had surgery very quickly. Stay positive and use every day that you are given and celebrate life. I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

    I'm a breast cancer survivor and in December 2002 I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer and was told that I would probably die of it and I'm still living. I had radical mastectomy, expensive medicine to keep me alive and chemo and radiation.

    I find that every day is a gift and I try to enjoy life's little pleasures. I have 6 grandkids whom I adore and my oldest granddaughter is 18 and my youngest grandson is 10 months and was born without his left hand but is the happiest little fella. The family is adjusting very well. Hugs. JB



    Take care
