surgery went smooth and the tumor is out... It was huge and shaped like the
state of Louisiana ( a big upside down "L"), roughly a bit larger than an 8 1/2
x 14 sheet of paper and weighing in at around 3 to 4 pounds with the top
attached to my Pelvis bone and the rest wound amongst the various muscles and
other things in my thigh.. The operation took roughly 4 hours. Two days after
the extraction I sat in a chair normally for the first time in many months.
Since January I have lost a total of almost 50 pounds (Jenny Craig eat your
heart out !!!) I found that I have an amazing friend base and am totally
grateful for all they have done over this time when they were severely needed.
Quite an adventure overall. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>An
interesting and sometimes very tough and painful test for my inner strength and
spirit -- Time for healing the things of life which have accumulated in my
memory and soul and the ways I have created for dealing or working around<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>with them – and learning more about
these things called grace and forgiveness all while still heading in a positive
direction for overall healing and growth, development and communication
abilities. What an amazing time has been given to me for the preparation of life
still to come.</SPAN><SPAN
