After my surgery for cancer last month, my wound got infected. So I had to be hospitalized and was very ill for a while. They had to open my wound up so it can heal from the inside out. Hillary is my nurse and she packs my wound twice a day. I was very upset and pretty out of it for a while. But last week I got good news that my cancer is GONE!!! I don't have to have chemo or radiation !! The oncologist told me it was a good thing too because when you have to have radiation over an open wound it takes years to heal... so on that note I have decided I am truly blessed and I am trying not to whine about having an open wound which will takes months to heal as opposed to years !! I've been there done that in 1997!! If you are wondering about the picture it is Hill letting the air out of the blow-up mattress she slept on for the last month to be near me at night !! I am well enough now she can sleep in her room on her bed !!! She is so patient with me and the doctors talk to her like a colleague !! I am so blessed she is home to take care of me and the most special part is she does so willingly and with such gentleness and love, she is my greatest gift!!!! Thank you Father in Heaven for Hill and being cancer free, and for all of my family and friends who have visited me making the long days seem bare able !!

That is a great picture! And of course we love the great news and are saying thank thee prayers as well...keep smiling!!
That is wonderful news! I'm so glad you are doing better!
Great! I hope your wound heals quickly. I remember after my c-sec. with Ben my wound was opened and I would have to hold my poor belly up in front of the fan to help keep it dry in the middle of summer so it would heal.
Oh my you have been through SO much! You have been in my prayers, Robin. I read this post several days ago and it made me so happy to know you are cancer free. Hurray!!
