Praise the Lord! D & C came back showing no cancer. I see the doctor to make it official tomorrow. Tues. I will have my final reconstruction surgery. It has been a bumpy road the last few months but God has been there smoothing the path as I continue on. I am so blessed and thankful for all of my blessings.
Emily is doing better and coming off the IV meds and her and the baby are thriving. Another blessing and answered prayer.
My final surgery will be out-patient and should take about 4 hours. I will have my implant put in and the other side lifted to match. I am so thankful for the knowledge and technology God has blessed our medical field with. I look back at loved ones who have gone through cancer that did not have these options. Their battle was hard and many of them did not make it. At one time cancer was a death sentence. I pray that one day no one will have to face this dreaded disease because there will be a cure for it.
When I come home I will once again be limited for 6 weeks. Then I will be preparing for my 2nd grandbaby to arrive. I have so much to look forward to! My family is why I continue to fight and travel this road. I just give God all the praise and glory for seeing me through it all.
More to come after my surgery. Until then love to you all!

Happy New Year!
A new year has begun and the journey continues. There are some days I long to go home but I know God still has a plan. That just makes Satan work harder to get to me. For the last several months I have been so angry and it is because PMS has returned. It is hard not having to deal with it for over 5 years and then it comes back with a vengence. If Tyler Perry needed new material I could supply him with a new movie... Diary of a Mad White Woman. That is how hormonal imbalance feels... angry and sad at times because you can't control how you feel sometimes. I am tired of the hot flashes and night sweats. Hopefully with the D&C Friday we will have some answers since the biopsy didn't. We were unable to get past the cervix but on a good note all is fine up to there.
The rest of my reconstruction is set to take place the 24th of this month. I am ready to get past that also. I am not looking forward to the down time but I chose to do this and I believe I will feel more complete when I am done. It will feel a little like getting back some of what cancer took away. Sometimes I feel that is vanity speaking but somehow I feel it is what I need for me and no one else.
On a happy note, we spent Christmas with our kids and grandbabies. Emily went to the hospital and stayed a few days. She got a PICC line and is doing so much better. She even feels "Baby Cheeto" flutter around. We should know if "Cheeto" is a boy or girl next month. I am excited for either. We all spent Christmas together and it was great.
When we came home my Mom went to the hospital for 8 days with pancreatitis but came home this past weekend and is doing better. I am so glad she is better because my Dad went home 26 years ago on the 6th and that is a tough day. With everything I have going emotionally, having Mom in the hospital brought back all the saddness. It is easier now because on the 4th we get to celebrate Lydia's birthday. She was 4 this year and is such a joy to us. I also know I will see my Dad one day. Wayne and I also got colds for Christmas and after 3 weeks are finally feeling better.
As you can see, there have been alot of trials since I began my journey. When you try to let God lead you, Satan tries to detour you. I am so thankful that if I get off track God puts me in front of the right way to go. So until my next post I will continue to praise Him no matter what happens. Love to you all....
