Sharp as a Marble

Mom goes in for surgery tomorrow to remove the cancer. I'm flying up to Atlanta today to provide moral support (as well as handyman services to her house). My aunt is a nurse and will be staying with us to help with bandages and the such since that's simply not something I can do.

I don't like flying that much and with my mother going in for major surgery, I'm a little on the anxious side. My carry on will consist of an MP3 player, my wallet, and my keys. I'm checking my Glock, so I hope that goes smoothly.

I'll have Internet connectivity the whole time I'm there. I received a wireless card from work to use while I'm gone, so even if the hospital doesn't have WiFi I can stay connected. I'm sure I'll blog nonetheless because blogging is what I do, but it may be a little less than normal as I'll be busy taking care of Mom.

Wish her luck.

I'd like to add that my own mother went through breast cancer. She had a lumpectomy, chemo and radiation. Its a tough road, but it is survivable. It's been 6 years for my mom, she's still cancer-free!

Good luck!

Thank you all. I'm here and have already been put to work. I've just installed 3 door handles and have some caulking lined up for the rest of the week.

Mom's in good spirits. She's keeping herself busy cleaning the house and getting things ready so she keeps her mind occupied. She's got some people over from her church for a prayer session (I'm keeping my happy rear in the office. I don't want to scare them off!) and my aunt should be here a little bit later.

It's odd being home. Where I grew up has suffered from urban sprawl, so it's not the same place I remember. But it still feels like home. Just wish I was here on better circumstances.

Here's to hoping you are feeling better - my bug has packed up and left, thankfully.

Your mother will definitely be in my thoughts. Best of luck to you and her.
