The Details
I've been told that I need to provide details. Here they are: Surgery date is Thursday, July 27 at either 1 or 1:30 (I can't remember) at what used to be Raleigh Community Hospital. It's now called Duke Systems in Raleigh, or something similar. I'll be in there about a week or so, and then I'll be home living the good life while my kids wait on me cheerfully. Well, I can dream, can't I?
Lots of things running through my mind today; which things still to do and which things I can check off the list. It might help if I actually wrote the list. Seems that I can't concentrate, can't get settled anywhere long enough to do any good and yet, my mind is racing (this must be what ADD feels like).
I'm anxious, calm, scared, mad, tense, peaceful, in pain, grateful, resigned, amazed at the outpouring of support, happy that you're here right now, and wishing that I didn't have cancer. All at the same time. No wonder I'm exhausted!
Thanks for being here. Knowing that so many people care makes this journey much easier. ¶ 6:24 PM

Your fans in Pennsylvania are pulling for you, Margaret! Keep a positive attitude, listen to your doctor, make yourself as healthy as possible after your surgery, and you'll be fit as a fiddle in a New York minute!!!

Note to the Saint:
Thanks! It means a lot to know that you're pulling for me too. I appreciate it more than I can say.

Thanks for keeping us informed! You know I'm here for you, and I'd love to do whatever I can to help you out. Remember- I'm the one without the kids and/or spouse, so I'm footloose and fancy free, with probably more availability than most. And I'm literally just up the road from Raleigh Community/Duke Health Hospital. I drive past there pretty much every day, so please let me know how I can help! I'm praying for you, and I know my parents and others are praying for you too. May God place His hand upon you and give you healing and peace.
I love you!
Molly
I love you!
Molly

In the Saturday blog entry, third paragraph, your list of what you are - sounds like you are riding a '46 over the paddies in the summer of '69 to me.
You are a tough young lady right when you need to be your toughest.
I have given you the link to my web site (just click on the name at the top) so you can look at some pretties when you feel up to it.
Because you are giving us the gift of this blog, you are giving all of us a little bit of you, that way whatever you are going through we all will be with you...
The part you are giving to me I am going to put into a small box and keep it close.

Margaret,
Here it is - Thursday - and I wanted you to know that you are in my heart and prayers all day long on this day, and in the days to come.
Haven't known you long, but realized right away what a special lady you are (would you be Shara's dear friend if you weren't???)
So many at the General Assembly are with you, and stand ready to give you a hand in whatever way you need. Me included!!
I pray that God is close to you today and to the surgeon, your boys and your parents. With caring love, Sara Jane
