I’m still doing a lot of waiting, the only difference is I’m in the same room as Matt and we can actually see each other! Matt’s doing well after his surgery. He had a good day yesterday, and is up and moving around relatively normally today. He’s still stying in his gorgeous new dress, though… Continue reading Tales from the Hospital Room

Tales from the Waiting Room…now on the 7th floor
Well, Matt is out of surgery and has been in recovery for the past couple of hours. He looks good…well, as good as someone who has just had their neck sliced open can look. It’s been a morning of mixed reviews and good news/bad news: The good news is that the scan showed that the… Continue reading Tales from the Waiting Room…now on the 7th floor
Tales from the Waiting Room
*This is a duplicate post from what I posted yesterday on Facebook. * You know what they say: “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.” Well, Matt’s currently under anesthesia. So even if I wanted to ask for permission, I couldn’t. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. So here I sit in… Continue reading Tales from the Waiting Room
Threads of Gratitude (aka: “Seeing through a glass darkly”)
“Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” I Corinthians 13:12b As I reflect on the journey of our last 13 months, I can see how God was orchestrating our lives to bring us to this point, this decisive moment. This experience of testing. And I’m grateful.… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude (aka: “Seeing through a glass darkly”)
Yes, there WILL be a test on this…
This will be a quick update. We have the dates scheduled for Matt’s procedures this week: Thursday (10-9) – he will have his CT and PT scans. I will have to drive him as the PT scan requires him to take a Valium and they will not allow him to drive home, nor will they… Continue reading Yes, there WILL be a test on this…
Threads of Gratitude – a new perspective
I know I missed a week last week. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t grateful – I most certainly was – but Thursday was the day we received the results of Matt’s biopsy and I needed to blog about that. So I’m trying to get back on track this week, because I have much for which… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude – a new perspective
Is this diet South Beach friendly?
There’s a friend of ours, who is undergoing a similar situation in her life, and she shared with me one of the ways she is coping with the stress. It’s all about the food choices we make. Some are good, and others are not. Proper nutrition is definitely a way to keep your body in… Continue reading Is this diet South Beach friendly?
Watch my head spin!
Wheee!! That’s how I feel on this roller-coaster ride that has become my world these past few days. From the dizzying heights of euphoria and joy to the downhill free-fall that takes your breath away (and makes you feel like you’re going to throw up) to the depths of sadness and grief and confusion…Yeah, we’ve… Continue reading Watch my head spin!
Peace Like a River
Today’s the big day. We meet with the oncologist for our initial consultation. And I am totally at peace with whatever will be. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t have my moments. I definitely do. I have moments where the inside of me is all twisted up like a big bowl of spaghetti noodles and… Continue reading Peace Like a River
Punctuation: Theme and Variations
Ain’t punctuation grand? Just think of all the ways we can use those little dots, squiggles, and lines to express a range of emotions. Take this sentence, for example: My husband has cancer. (A declaration of fact, which I learned today.) Now, just by changing that last little bit of punctuation, we can give a… Continue reading Punctuation: Theme and Variations
