And when you are down.......

Ah the dreaded fear of infection......I got hit hard on Tuesday this week when the wound took a turn for the worse...to gross to discuss but none the less required a late night trip to the Chandler Hospital ER, overnight tests, then an ambulance ride back to Good Sam where I spent a couple days once again. We hope we have this under control, things look better now and I am home again. I must say, if I did not have whip lash before the ambulance ride, I did after..lol. What a bumpy, uncomfortable ride to say the least. If I am ever in an accident I plan to call for limo transport and skip the whole ambulance idea....yikes. While in the hospital (for surgery) my roommate was a wonderful lady, also fighting cancer. She thought she was through the worst but no, new surgery for new tumors was required... I felt so bad for her and her disappointment with the new news. She underwent surgery after I was released and I found out this evening, died in surgery the day I arrived back with my infection. While so sad to have lost a new found friend, I was blessed to have had the opportunity to meet her as her spirit, like mine, was so strong. I pray her family heals and holds dear her memory. Her name was Debbie....we joked at the confusion over having two namesakes in the same room. :) Rest in peace Deb, I will miss you. Thank you all, for your unending support as it is a source of strength for me each day. Thanks to our daughters for coming to help keep things afloat after surgery and thanks to my sister for lending support to Les and myself during surgery. My family is a gift like no other gift received and I am eternally grateful for their love and sacrifices made on my behalf. Be well, be happy and may we all continue to seek only Positive Pursuits.
