It's a Date!

1st of September to be exact, plaque therapy operation on the 2nd. Not long, but then again, too long and all too soon!

So much to think about and organise.

My wonderful sister has offered to take me there, yet again, (I don't know what we would do without her).

Poor DH has to work, they aren't a sympathetic lot at his workplace. He's managed to juggle holiday for just after the operation though so will be there for when I come home, hopefully a few days later! Less than a week in hospital for a cancer operation, not bad eh? Wish they could all be like that.

I won't lie, I am scared, it has occurred to me that any number of things could go wrong, (not exactly positive thinking)!

But it's not worth worrying about such things unless they actually happen, otherwise I will be a quivering wreck and no help to anyone, least of all me!(Positive thinking sort of)!

The one thing I try to focus on more than anything is the rather handsome surgeon telling me that this operation is very successful, (definitely positive in more ways than one)!!



I'm making some washable cleansing pads out of old flannels to take with me, Ive been meaning to make some for a while, to save using cotton wool all the time. I'm also knitting to keep my mind, and hands busy.


Sadly I will be away as the girls start their first new day at their respective colleges, I'm sure they'll be ok, they may only be learner mushroom thinkers, but they learn fast!
I however, will be worried for them, because that's what I do.


The boy is starting back at studies today, a unit on bears, quite detailed, it should keep him busy whilst I'm away.
He's keen to look at Darwin too, and science v creationism. We have an outing booked for the end of September, to attend a debate on whether or not evolution and ceationist teachings can co-exist, so I had best be a good little patient and beat this tumor as well as heal quickly!

Quite apt when you think on it, I have lots of lovely people praying, (in a variety of ways), for me, and science will be doing it's big bit too.

Perhaps I will be a walking example of how there is room for both?

And before anyone tells me off, I don't believe in telling anyone what they should or should not believe, nor do I wish to belittle any ones belief system, and nor do I believe science is either wrong or infallible.
Phew, think I covered the lot there!
