I have finally made the long trip downstairs for the first time since we got back home. I have basically been holed up in our bedroom on heavy meds round the clock since Friday evening. The pain is gradually letting up and I am able to stay awake after doses now.

So, the liver surgery was not meant to be just yet! You think I could get a refund on all of our time and effort in preparing for these 2 non-surgeries? This time they gutted me to find out they couldn't do it and I have the most gi-normous incision in a big backward "L" shape all across my belly. Oh well, we have asked all the questions in every angle possible and supposedly, it is better off that they didn't go through with it. I told him he had not seen the last of me and as soon as my trusty chemo kicks these new "nodules" asses, that I would be right back there ready for more cutting!

I can't thank everyone enough for all of the support Joel and I have received. We were flooded with flowers, plants, cookies, emails, prayers... You name it, everyone came through wherever we were in need. It warms my heart that so many people care about us. I hope all this cancer mess is over soon and we can all focus and more positive things for a change!

Lots of Love,
Kelly
