Moe is Fine!

We finally got the biopsy results back. They were non-cancerous, but it still needs to come out. She's so relieved that she doesn't have to deal with breast cancer at the ripe old age of 18, but she's still a bit nervous about surgery. But the general consensus among the doctors is that it should come out. I laughingly told her that next week is fine, the week after that is not, and the week after that is okay too. For me to play nursemaid, that is. We have to schedule it around all of Fiona's ongoing medical progress. I know she has been anxious and I am glad she doesn't have to deal with all of the pains of chemo and other treatments.
I have developed a small cold. What a pain, I guess I shouldn't complain. It's been at least two years since I have gotten sick. I think my body is finally starting to breakdown from the last two years. I have to be grateful that I didn't get sick while taking care of her. She has been so needy that it's tough when I can't comfort her. Today she got whacked by a broom and I had to ask Moe to hug her better. I don't want to miss her last day of chemo, I have a list of questions already for the doctor.
Buttercup has been able to attend a self defense class for kids. I am glad she's in it. She's pretty timid. She asked me today if the stuff would really help. I told her that if I tried to snatch her and she stomped my foot and kneed me in the groin and poked at my eye, I would let her go and think twice about grabbing at her again. This seemed to make sense to her. She's pretty smart that way.

That is great news for Moe!
Hope you kick that cold fast and no one else gets it.

I was so excited to hear from you. I can't believe how amazing you are. (well I can, but you know what I mean) How do you do it? I guess it's true that we are only given the trials that we can handle becuse (knock on wood) I'm pretty sure I would have lost it if one of my kids had to be in and out of the hospital constantly. I have been thinking about you lately being our 15 year and all. I'll be checking in often. See ya ;)

Hooray! When I had my fibroid diagnosed, the surgeon told me I could have it removed and deal with the scar/questions about plastic surgery OR leave it and deal with the lump/questions from docs about the lump. I chose to get it out! It was a day surgery and the recovery was pretty easy. All my best to Moe!!!

Sorry you're sick. I feel your pain. It's truly a miracle that you've been able to stay so healthy. I hope you feel better soon.
