Life in recovery!

Mom is doing really well and is very much on the mend. She is however requiring myself and Philip to pick up our socks and do somethings that we normally would not do. Philip has been a help for mom, and although this week is exam week Philip is doing alright. Mom is however getting some cabin fever, and getting a little bored. She is now wearing normal everyday clothing. We have gone on a few ventures, to the grocery store, to the scrapbooking store and the Quilting store, and to get my hair cut as well as Philips. We also went to Chapters, and mom got some quilting books. Mom also picked up some material to finish a quilt project that we started together. I am looking forward to finishing it with her. We also have been watching some tv, and cooking amazing food that we have received from friends. Tomorrow we are going to an appointment at 11:15am to get the final result on mom's pathology. We are all nervous and yet at peace with it all to some degree no matter what happens. Mom has really been thinking about the future, and what is ahead, is rather unknown, but she is putting her trust in God.

Tonight mom is out for coffee with some friends, I am proud of her for doing so well. In the mean time we are having a good time and trying to laugh as much as we can. This has included our pets. I have my dog "buddy" with me from Ontario, and mom's dog "misha" and mom's cat "Gazz". We gave Gazz a helmet to protect her from the dogs. So we are having fun! We are looking forward to the day when mom is declared Cancer free. We are all hoping that it is tomorrow, but if not, we believe that God will heal mom and a full recovery is pending.

I am spending as much time with mom as I can, as I am leaving in a week back to Ontario. We all have mixed emotions about me going home.

Please pray for us as we go about more change as I return to Ontario and mom continues to heal here with out me in Body.

I do have to say that this experience has dramatically changed our lives. I am changed, I have not figured out how, yet, because I don't think it has all been processed yet. I think it is the same for mom. She has been looking at reconstructive surgery's online and it quite overwhelmed at the process of that as well. There are many emotions and feelings to process yet as the recovery continues.

I have heard many comments about this blog and I am grateful that I have the time and ability to put a blog like this together for Mom's friends and family and for other people who are giving us awesome support. I thank you, for coming to view Mom's blog. She says that she has never been so famous. God Bless!!
