notes. my plan all along was to be so organized and thoughtful in my personal responses to everyones kindness, but i had surprises and complications that got in the way.
first the, the lumpectomys were done and the verdict was breast cancer.
(big breath) then a complication, internal bleeding a rush trip back to hospital and another surgery in a 24 hour period. so i guess in some ways i have been weak as a kitten and i had my first day today of actually feeling good.
i apologize to all who have been so kind and thoughtful to me, sending cards, thoughts emails.
my dear galpal nance in france who has been so patient for some kind of response. i kept waiting for good news to send nancy.
anyway please send up prayers for me this tuesday, i will be having a bone scan and i am so ready for good news. and on january 5th i will be having a double masectomy and will really need prayers of support and for a good recovery.
thanks to all my farmgirl friends, i am enjoying a good visit with my sister who flew in from bagcock to see me.
love to all.
love

Frannie, you sound wonderful. I'm just pulling for you to get back to your old self. I bet you have so many ideas cooking in your head. You are just so so creative. How nice to be with a friend that likes to do the same things, and how really nice that your family could come visit.

up and about this am, well i guess technically it is pm now, and wanted to check in with everyone to thank those that are patient and continuing to follow me through this breast cancer journey. it still seems very new and strange to say i have/had breast cancer. anyway i am here with my girlfriend, a crafter extraordianaire who makes me look like some kinda novice in the craftying area. i am surrounded by books and patterns and wonderful crafts and inspiriation to continue on with my crafting as i recover. my husband is here today, and last nite i guess we really had a sort of party with a pasta meal and a visit from my friends son , one of my daughters, her children, olivia and deven and my dh, country. we had a grand time.
my dh went down to the farm this weekend. (it is about 70 miles away and checked on animals and all things farm. he was able to bring back some books i have been working on for patterns for pincushions and "fuzzy" patterns, garments made of scarps of pulled felted items. so i guess life will resume after the breast cancer.
my carpenter and his wife called this am and he is ready to start on the restoration of our 2 guest houses that we hope to use for family, friends and farmgirls when they pass through our way. our dream has been to use the farm in a agritourism/ teaching way when dh retires. over the last several months i have felt discouraged that that would really happen, but actually today i feel strongly that all the dreams may come true,in spite of the setbacks and detours of late.
thanks once again for the ever faithful prayers and good wishes, i believe farmgirl prayers have been very helpful throughout this journey. but i will be very greatful to move on to other subjects that are more fun, like crafting and restoration of our "sharecropper chic" farmgirl houses.

thanks so much from everyone, and kathy, love to hear of a 31 year survivor!
had my bone scan today, and of course i dont know anything yet but they didnt ask for any extra pics so i am taking that as a good sign!!!!
my surgery is on monday and i met with my surgeon today so i guess everything is a go for monday.
thanks to all who have put me on their prayer list. i will be in the hopital for 3-4 days and then at a friends house in dallas for about a week before i will be discharged back to the farm.
thanks once again for all the prayers over what now has become months. and please keep me there especially on monday. i am hoping soon i will be back to crafting and thinking of new and "interesting" ways to use my scrap fabrics.
love to all and happy farmgirl new year to you all!
