There's No Place Like Home ...

Sorry for the lack of updates recently...your 'reporter' here was without internet access for 4 days!

All in all, it was a pretty good weekend for Deb....And, after a 'real food' lunch today, our girl was discharged to home -- a full day earlier than expected! She even managed to make it up the stairs just fine...(and much to Bob's relief)!

After getting settled back in bed, she's been enjoying reading all the cards she's received over these past several days. She's also bossing Bob around again...so you KNOW she's feeling better!

The test results received on Friday were not altogether perfect, but still extremely encouraging. From all reports, the surgeon is very pleased with her recovey progress to date and the oncologist is also very positive about her prognosis. It is expected that Deb will begin further treatment (e.g. radition and/or chemotherapy) in about 8 weeks and after she fully recovers from the surgery.

In the meantime, please keep those cards and letters coming ....

Debra,

Having survived a heart stopping heart attack last fall and a solid recovery so far, I have been following your progress with a very sympathetic and personal interest. I know you will handle this well, and I believe we still have lots of good things to do. So here's to a healthy future

So please take care, do what the doctors tell you to do, and keep doing better than they expect you to do. I know you have the important things in life in perspective right now, so take it easy and know there are a lot of us who care and we're out here with all the thoughts, prayers, and good karma we can muster for you. And that does matter.

Although we haven't talked in a while, I remember some tough times when you were there for me, and Patsy and I are here for you now.

Hang in there--I'm with you more than you know.

Hopefully we'll both be vital and vibrant in a couple weeks--I'll see you then.

Love, Scott Arnold

Debra,
I was at Patrenella's last week and let Sammy know of your hospitalization/surgery. He sends his good wishes.
Can't wait to share a table there with you again soon.
How great Ms. Kitty set this up....sweet and cool, actually.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you way up here in Houston. Let me know when you are up for more company.
Peace and love,
Jim Sharp
