Sia just phoned, surgery went well and she is now recovering. Her voice was with relief to know that they were able to remove the ovarian cyst without difficulties, even though it had begun to attach to her colon. According to her physician, she didn't think it was malignant, but was sent to patho for results. She is enjoying her pca pump now and is in minimal pain. She also stated that she would remain in the hospital through the weekend.

Sia asked me to let "the girls" know how she was doing and to thank everyone for their thoughts & prayers....

As most of y'all know, my mother had colon surgery Tuesday. The surgery went well and she is recovering. The docs removed about 2' of her colon and was able to connect without using a temporary colostomy. They said that they removed a mass from the outside of her colon the size of a baseball. The mass has been sent to lab for a workup. The doc was sure that it was not malignant, but the testing will coming soon. She is recovering well and I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and prayers.

Oh God..... Last night sucked!! I sat at home and watched tv. Pretty much by myself. My kids were upstairs playing guitar hero that they got for Christmas. Me...just sat here...texted some friends Happy New Year. Kathleen, bless her heart, called me after getting her text oblivious to what has been going on-I couldn't even talk to her through all my sobbing, snorting and the inability to just breathe. How embarrasing for such a strong willed person, huh?

My bd and I were sitting in the front room this morning-I was having my morning coffee. She said "mom have you ever noticed that grandmother always talks about sd. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about she refers back to something about sd. I'm so tired of hearing about what she did or how sweet or cute she is.". I simply just asked "does that bother you?". She said it is so annoying. My bd is 13 and the sd is 19.

I guess I'm not the only one that NOTICES....
