Mom’s breast cancer ‘not pink’ new wrap and graduation

I’ve been working on a wrap

Mom's Wrap(photo added 7/25 obviously) for Mom.

Her mastectomy went extremely well and she insists she hasn’t had much pain. I’m extremely grateful for that. Her follow up is in a bit, we’re hoping the surgeon was able to get it all. She even attended my daughter’s high school graduation on Friday!

Yep, MarMar made it. I’m definitely a proud, happy, and grateful mom right now. She had to work her little rear off to do it and she did!!!!! She’s extremely intelligent, just didn’t see the need for school for a while there but was able to make up all the credits. I’m so glad she realized she could do it – and did!

she’s looking rather smart in her b/f’s glasses

There are a lot of other things going on. Some wonderful, some rather awful. It’s a voyage of discovery, that much is certain.

And again….

Blogging from the library today – yes, there is still no computer around and won’t have one for a while yet. Other priorities and all…. although school is very high on the list and obviously requires one.

Anyway….. I’ll be posting pics of the roll top purlies, green fraternal twins (socks, I got bored, they are ‘matchish’ rather than matching), along with a couple other projects. Socks for Soldiers is still a high priority although I’m hybernating the original pair and working on olive ones now. The first pair is still giving me fits so the logic is, go to the second one.

I’ve moved into a house with several roomates, constantly changing roomates, lots of coming and going. It’s really not working out that well, unfortunately so will be doing something differently soon. Oh, and the current diagnosis is lupus. Not exactly thrilled but it’s the only thing that makes sense to the various doctors so am moving forward.

Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. She’s handling things reasonably well but Dad’s taking it very hard. We’re trying to show him the statistics on how treatable it is when caught early but he’s a bit stuck in the death sentence it was a few years go. It doesn’t help that she had to postpone double knee replacement surgery to go to her oncology apt. Yes, I’m concerned.
