is good news, they say. I hope it's true! I went to see Dr G today. Have I mentioned how great he is? Well, he just is. He even hugged me today before I left his office. Not a weird creepy hug, more of a I genuinely care about you hug. He has an amazing love and concern for people. I am sure it is no small coincidence that we have friends in common. I guess on the day of my surgery his wife leaned over to him in bed before they got up and said. " Honey, you are operating on Jamie M today, please be nice to her?" He was floored. He asked how she knew who he was operating on (HIPPA) and reminded her that he is nice and does his best with all his patients. Turns out our dear family friends are friends with the Doc and his wife. Small world..... He is just the best. So back to the no news. I saw him today and he took out my drain and stitches and let Layne take out my staples. The drain was not fun, the rest okay. I feel so much better with out my 5th limb (drain). Walking is still a slow, painful thing to do. I do NOT twist side to side. I sleep in one position. Other than living life in slow mo and feeling severely lazy at times I feel really good and I am doing pretty good for what I have been through. The kicker is I have no pathology results yet. Dr G said my tumor is very unusual. The Banner pathologists could not find it's source, bone or muscle so that is why it is at Mayo still being studied. I do not have results but I was informed today my records and case have been assigned to an Oncologist and radiologist. They are aware of my tumor and are ready to step in should the news not be what we want to hear. So no news is good news, I guess...... I am not sure how to take all that. I do know that fretting and going crazy have not worked for me in the past, so I am choosing to not do that now.

I was going to text you today to see how things were going. Glad you got the drain out! I know it's hard to take it easy and be lazy, but just think of this being probably the only time in your life that you'll get to and take advantage of it. We're still praying for the best.
I know what it's like to not know why something happened. After all of Blaine's tests over last year, we still don't know for sure why his thing happened. It calms me to think that his blessing cured him, but then sometimes I get that little nag of worry about it being able to happen again. But we're going to keep happy thoughts for both of you!
I am glad you got your drain out. I agree with you; no news is good news. Know that I am thinking of you and your family.
Have a happy 4th. of July! :)
Yay for no drain. At least they are being thorough. No news is better than saying all is well and finding out later it is something. At least that's how I felt when I had cancer. Hang in there. Take it easy and know someday this will just be a bad memory. Something you learned from and got past. You are strong. Just keep swimming. Take it slow and know eventually you will feel normal again and be back to the daily race. Hugs.
Keep up the great outlook.
Many prayers have gone your way!
We love you!
