"Home from Hawaii...and quit my job! YAY!!! LOL"
1:25am Monday
Been gone almost 4 months..don't know where to begin! Mood
Wednesday, March 4, 2009 | A General Update story

Well, I haven't been here in almost 4 months and don't know where to begin.  I don't have the energy for details...will try to do that as I go along.  for now.

 

*  Finally returned to work after accident that was July 14, 2008.  I was out 6 1/2 months, just returned the beginning of February.

 

*  Oldest daughter is getting close to delivery.  Her official due date is March 27!  She and her husband are expecting a litttle girl....you may remember they had infertility issues so our precious Anna Jane is an IVF baby.

 

*  Hubby went to the doc in Jan for a virus that wouldn't quit.  Doc found large lump in neck lymph node, now....2 months later, 3 surgeries later, he's been dx with cancer and started chemo on Monday, March 2.  Go figure, it occured to me today that was the 31st anniversary of us starting to go out.  It's been a roller coaster, whirlwind ride.

 

I'll update everyone more as I can.  Right now, I'm here looking to see if what's available for support for spouses of those with cancer....but frankly, I'm still struggling with this whole thing so not sure if I can really do this.  Maybe just read?  We'll see.  Hopefully it will be like when I started on the bipolar board and I simply found great people immediately and felt at home right away.

 

Love ya all...hope your hanging in.   Mary

    First let me say that it's nice to have you come back home to us! Remember, the will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you. This is my prayer for you and your family:
    " What You promise, Father, You will fulfill to the last word. I may not always be faithful, but You always are. In a world where I am afraid to totally trust anyone, I know I can trust You. Amen in the Name of Jesus."

    I hope that these words and prayer keep you safe. May the new friendships keep you safe in the Lord's care.

    Love Regina

    Was stopping by to tell you are in my thoughts and that I miss you and saw your update. I am so sorry about your husband's health. I know how frightening it can be as my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has 5 years since tx and is doing fine. I send my prayers to you and your husband. Please keep us informed. Ps I know you must be excited about another gr.daughter.
