Today's the Day!!

Hi Everyone :-)

I know I've been a serious slacker once chemo finished! The last couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Rachel packed up and left to be a camp counselor in Mass. and I survived a cross country trip with Carly to Los Angeles! I'll have to write all about the trip when I have more time.

I returned to Michigan via Dallas with my sister, Melissa, in tow. She will be with me for the next week helping with post surgery "stuff." My surgery is this morning at 8:15 at the Alice Gustafson
section of St. Joe's Hospital and will last approximately 6 hours. YIKES!! Since I'll be in la la dream land, I'll be counting on all of you for positive thoughts and prayers. I know I will come through this and am looking forward to being cancer FREE!!

Well, my P.J.'s are packed, as well as my Ipod (I'll be spending the night at the hospital) and I'll see all of you on the other side of this.

I love you all, thanks for traveling on this journey with me.

  2. Hi All,
    Joanne's sister here. She's out of surgery and resting comfortably in her room. She has a great nurse and even better drugs. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been following her journey. Your love, support and prayers have meant more to her than you'll ever know. I'm sure she'll make a post as soon as she's up to it.

    Melissa

  3. hi -

    don't be shy...ask for whatever you need to speed your recovery and let people take care of you for a change.

    rest easy and feel better.

    love,
