A sigh of relief

Thank yous to everyone for their well wishes regarding my stepmom's surgery. Kisses for you all! I just got the word that all she required was a lumpectomy and the removal of one suspicious lymph node. The node was, thankfully, benign. She is home already and resting and will begin a round of radiation thereapy soon. Again, thanks for the kind thoughts. I don't think there is a more generous, compassionate soul on this earth other than Bette and I wish you could all know her. She is one of the "special" people this world needs a whole lot more of.

And in other news, I received a "Token" at work today which was a notecard from my boss telling me what a positive addition I am to the team and thanking me for extra things I've done the last couple weeks. I also received 2 movie passes. Clerks II, anyone? Such a refreshing change to have your efforts recognized. Teh HellLab who?

And it is starting to storm like hell. And I LOVE it!

Marvelous! I'll continue thinking of her and hoping the radiation goes well, but that's great news.

I'm so glad that the surgery went well and it wasn't too serious. I'm at camp right now, so I'm trying to check the LJ whenever I get a chance!

It's great to hear that things are improving for your stepmom. I hope the radiation therapy helps further improve her condition. She sounds like a wonderful person.

Congrats on the recognition at work. It must be awesome to see your boss finally appreciating what you do.

I'm glad your stepmom is going to be all right.

Congrats on the kudos at work. I bet the Hell lab is really missing you.
