It’s raining babies

Hello friends

Just wanted to to share some news from my world.🌎

July 31 Daughter Katelyn had a baby girl.

Victoria Isabelle ( Tori)

9 lbs 6 oz

short stint in the Nic U but both Mom and baby are doing well.

then

Daughter Ashley had a baby girl

Penelope James ( Penny)

7 lbs 9 oz

Mom had a rough go and needed a C section but Mom and baby are fine now.

So our family is growing🌳

someone told me this summer they thought I was a bit greedy having two grandbabies. Oh well!🤷‍♀️

We looked after my daughter and husbands dog 🐕 while they were in hospital and that was fun.

Mark picked her up yesterday and we were sad to see her go.

Summers been busy but good. I’ve healed well and only have pain when I over do it.

like too much clapping at the Alan Doyle concert in Drumheller.

Got a call from the Cross and they are moving my appointment with the Oncologist forward only by a week but hopefully that means one week closer to having the radiation started and then behind me.

with all the rain ☔️ the gardens are doing real good. Made lots of jam.

Have been giving away Zucchini, Saskatoon's, rhubarb and such like crazy.

Have lots of dates on the calendar of get togethers and theatre.🎭

When did I have time to work?

lol

Take care

Drop me a note. I’d love to hear what you are up to.

One week after surgery

Hello friends and family. its been a week since surgery and Im ticking along not to badly. Another week to go before I see the surgeon and hear his findings. Ive been asked by a number of people for a recap of events prior to surgery so here goes. I retired from AMA on Feb 14 this year. The following week I had a routine Mamogram. They saw something so sent me for another one. Still weren’t liking something they were seeing so sent me for an Ultrasound. Before leaving this appointment they’d booked me for a biopsy the following week. Turned out to be cancer. Got the call March 20th 5 weeks into retirement. No symptoms no lumps. just to be sure I had to have a 2 nd biopsy on another site they were sure was just a cyst. It wasn’t. Then the waiting game began. Truly the hardest part. saw the surgeon with Art on Apr 30 Another week plus to get a surgery date of June 12Th The type of Breast cancer I have is Hormone positive. Theres more than one type, who knew! so I opted for two lumpectomi...

Lavender hospital gown

Hi everyone. still figuring this out. Just tried to put this latest edition into edit but it disappeared.👻 So a little sore today. I wanted to share about my surgery gown. First off it was lavender not hospital green. it was paper with Velcro for access to what every part they needed access to. Down around my right knee on the gown there was a quick coupler for a heat tube if I wanted.It filled the gown with warm air. I said I wanted the full Spa experience. They gave me a control to heat the interior or cool it. How fun is that! Everyone was so nice. And funny. Im very glad I live in Canada. Our health care might not be perfect but they sure have looked after me along this journey. Chat soon. Mel🧑🏻‍🦰
