'Area of expertise'

Hello all! Sorry posts are becoming more sporadic - Bonnie's recovery is going so well; there is not much to post. But, I have a few notes. Mom visited her surgeon on Thursday. He thinks Mom will just have radiation and no chemo. She has an appointment with the Oncologist on Monday, so I am sure we will hear a more definite course of action. Sometimes it's hard hearing so many suggestions from all the different nurses and doctors - but I know they are just giving their best educated suggestions. They are all there to help so we will just wait and see what the final plan will be. Mom has a funny story about the surgeon which she told a few times this weekend. She mentioned to Dr. Wang that she is scheduled for a mammogram in a few weeks. Without missing a beat, he says to her, 'well, that's not really my area of expertise.' Mom got a chuckle outta that! She did tell him she only was mentioning it in case it would interfere with her radiation - which he doesn't think will be a problem. :)

On Sunday, Mom and I are going to a card party!!! For those of you who don't know what that is, they are in theory like a Tupperware party but way more hands on. We go to our amazing Card Lady's house, where she has designed and set up materials for us to make projects. We stamp and color and emboss and punch all kinds of papers to make 5 greeting cards - along the lines of scrapbooking, but way easier. We have been going to them for 4 years maybe...and we love them! We had to miss September's party due to Mom living at Virgina Mason that week - so I am super excited she's able to go! Ooh, I will post one of the cards we make - well, I will try!

  4. Hey Bonnie, Just becuase I haven't been there doesn't mean that you have not been in my thoughts and prayers. I am having trouble fitting everything in to a day. But I am reading the blog and checking up on you whenever possible. We are sending love and prayers and are happy to hear that you are feeling a little more spry. Goodluck this week, love Anne and Al.
