A small request... please

I have a small request and it won't take up much of your time.

Now that Emmah's spirit has left her physical body behind and has completed it's journey "home" I would very much like if you could all take a moment and reflect on Emmah... whether you knew her personally or not. Let us know how she touched/affected or made a difference in your life.

I especially would like to hear from those of you who know/knew her, what your fondest memory or memories of her are. Funny stories and what you remember her likes and dislikes to be (no matter what they are) and what word/words you would use to describe her.

In order to keep all of those thoughts in one place, please, please use this link only for this purpose only.

Thank-you

Merging onto the road to recovery

Roads less traveled hold greater unknowns... I mean it's not everyday that one has to be placed on the road called recovery. If allowed to paint any picture we could on the canvas we call life and have every aspect of it come true, I dare say that no one would paint something that would force them to have to recover... and drinking doesn't count!

Of course painting that picture after being told that you will be forced into taking a detour on to said recovery road leaves you a little more careful with your brush strokes. That all being said, today's news was one might say is a picture worth framing. We know all too well that this war is far from over, but winning battles give the best chance to win the war and today a battle was won. Don't know if we could have asked for a better result for today.

Surgery went as expected (always good to have it go as expected... means no surprises) Had clean margins and potentially the best news of the day (and to this point since diagnosis) is no nodal involvement!

So it's on to complete recovery and reconstruction... of which some ground work has been started.

Their intention is to get her up and moving tomorrow, including a shower. She will also have a more comprehensive post op consult along with what limitations will be place on her as she heals. The plan is to get her up and out of bed and moving and home.

Not much else to report at this time.

Peace all
