Tick tock counting down minutes on the clock…. The waaay aaayyting is the hardest part! Sing it Tom Petty. 2:15 is the scheduled procedure time but nothing is certain when your time slot is so late in the day and surgeries have complications. However, I’m feeling pretty confident that Dr. Philben will be prompt since the injected contrast has a limited lifespan and she is known to get her way in the O.R. To me that’s a good thing – being the one on the table and all!
Here is a glimse of how I plan to spend the next week or so…. Relaxing on the sofa or bed wrapped in the most gorgeous hand knit blanket made lovingly by my knitting friends, propped up on Celine’s princess pillow, admiring my pampered toes, playing WWF on my awesome iPad, while wearing my inspiring bracelet and being waited on by my devoted husband, wonderful childeren, loving Mom and family. And of course being served delicious food made by wonderful loyal friends. Doesn’t sound bad huh?
Thor loves the blanket too!
Aside from any material gifts I’ve been graciously bestowed over the last few weeks, I can’t come close to being able to express all the gratitude I feel from the support and love I’ve been given. Thanks to everyone for the positive energy you’ve sent. I know it’s kept me sane and grounded. Having cancer may be a crappy thing in my life, but in a few short hours it’s going to banished from my boob FOREVER and I will still be left with my truly awesome circle of friends and family surrounding me. Please don’t hesitate to call, text, play WWF, bring food, or just come by to visit me in the weeks to come.
I can’t wait to get rid of this bump on my breast and get on with my journey….
Namaste
Know that I’ll be thinking of you and that you are loved and adored! btw..ppeaking of WWF, um, it’s your turn – don’t leaving me hanging!
Looks like Thor feels the love too. What’s he going to do when it’s time to get back to the routine?! I’ll be thinking of you and Scott all day. The waiting is almost over!
Love,
Shannon
As you draw strength from us, we draw strength from you.
You will be in our thoughts all day. Glad Thor approves of the blanket; It is full of love. And if you ever doubt our friendship, just look at the back! Your turn at WWF…
We are thinking of you! We will be sending you and Scott positive thoughts all day! A big hug to you!
Lots of Love!
Holly
Thinking of you and the guys…the two AND four legged kind…in your life. Happy, sunshiny thoughts coming your way. Love, Amber
PS, Thor’s fuzz matches the background color on the blanket perfectly, don’t you think?
PSS, Call if you need anything, after all, I am just ten hops, three skips and one jump away : )
I really want to give you some space with your family-but at the same time, want you to know how much we are thinking of you…my sister and a few of my friends send their best too! You are so loved! Hope to see you soon!
Thinking of you Angie. Your example of strength and courage is inspiring. Love you.
Hey Cousin Angie!
Just got this site from your sisters at Chris and Lorin’s wedding yesterday. It figures that your website/blog would be so like you – filled with all things good in abundance – humor,spirit,spunk, grace, strength….! You, Scott, your parents, more of our family was missed yesterday but your sisters Jennifer, Lisa and Jodi (and Doug and Jack)were awesome representatives. My nephew’s wedding, baaaad dancing with my goofy cousins, your successful surgery, LIFE is a celebration! Hooray and continued well wishes to you, Angie! xoxox, cindy
