One Down, One to Go…
My dad’s results came back from the biopsy and he is CANCER FREE!!! The overwhelming feeling of joy and relief is more than I could muster writing about at first so it took me a couple of days - we’ve all been enjoying the relief and happiness and thank God every moment.
On the flip side - things aren’t that great with Titi. My grandma is at her chemo today and was just put on an oxygen tank as the chemo has seriously affected her ability to breath on her own - this will depress her greatly as she’s always been so independent and sassy and having to roll an oxygen tank around everywhere she goes will be quite a blow to her but she’s being a trooper…3 more treatments to go before they rescan her liver and we know “what’s really going on”…so please keep her in your thoughts/prayers…
Today is SUPER TUESDAY! And I’m excited about this election season for the first time in a very LONG time! I don’t like to get into politics on a blog - but I’ve got my fingers crossed big time for Barack Obama…whoever you choose to support - it’s all good - just do your part and vote…it’s important.
I’m off my soap box now and on to knitting…no pictures yet but I’ve got some stuff on the needles and I intend to start the FFL shawl soon as soon as the lace yarn arrives…I’ve loved that shawl forever but never had the gumption to start - I saw it again and thought I’d give it a go - would be a wonderful heirloom piece to give to my daughter one day.
Anyway, must work - hope everyone has a great day!

YAY for your dad! And oh boo for your grandma! Maybe if she thought of the oxygen tank as something to roll over people’s feet until she gets her way…please let her know that a Perfect Stranger is sending good thoughts her way.
Oh, and I can’t wait to see the shawl!

Ah, sweetie. Good and bad news all at once. I’ll keep your Titi in my prayers and I’m thrilled for your Dad’s prognosis.

Wow. Sounds like you’ve had a lot of ups and downs lately. I do hope things even out for you in a good way!

I am so happy to hear the good news for your Dad. Sending continued good thoughts for your Grandmother. Once she is done with her chemo, she can move on with letting her body get strong again.
