Happy Thanksgiving

Good Morning... and Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends and family who follow me on my blog.  I was able to sleep in until almost 10:00 AM and have talked to my BFF Marji already.  She was preparing to head to Baltimore to be with her family.  I am sure she will enjoy being with her family today.  Family is always important to her and she and her sisters are very close to each other.

I will be at home alone.  I made the decision that I did not want to go out and be with any of the friends who had invited me to join them this day or to the family members who also extended invitations to me to join them.  But I will be having surgery on Monday to replace a very painful right knee and the last thing I need is to come down with a bug this close to that day.  Next year it will be a totally different holiday.

I have not posted for a while as I have been helping my son and his wife begin to deal with cancer.  She has been diagnosed with a form of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.  They have been going through the testing and determination of the stage of the cancer and the plan to battle the disease.  I am not sure what I will be able to do from so far away, but having walked the journey with my late husband almost three years ago, I can guide them through the pitfalls of dealing with some of the things they will be facing.  Fortunately for them, her cancer is one of the most curable so we have high hopes that they will be able to eradicate it from her body.  Prayers offered for that.

My friends are all upset that I am alone.  But I am trying to get my house ready for visitors and Christmas.  I am sure that some of the things that need to be done will be more difficult with a healing artificial knee.  I am also hoping to get some sewing time in before I head to Lancaster on Monday.  I will have a turkey dinner here at home.  There is a "Castle" Marathon TNT, so I am a happy camper.

Enjoy your day... I know I will.

I will try to post here as I go through recovery, but I am not sure I will be able to during the hospital stay.  But once I am back to being connected, I will update my recovery and rehab.
