I dont know why i have not been in here more, life has been bizarre and time consuming, so i have been neglecting my journal again. Mom had her lung surgery, she is home now, there have been alot of small triumphs...like getting to pee all by herself...and alot of setbacks...like the fact that now that the swelling has gone done and nerve regeneration started the pain is at a higher level than after the surgery...shes a strong lady, it will work out in the end, but it is going to be quite a journey.
the good part, and the reason we did all this to begin with, they tested the tumor after it was removed, and all the edges are clean, there is no cancer left, she was really lucky that they found it and got it before it had actually attached itself to anything, although i doubt she feels lucky at the moment, we are getting there.
