I am so happy that all of the prayers that have been sent your way have been answered. Thank you for taking the time to write an update on how things are progressing. Our prayers will continue to be with you and your family during this difficult time.
As a side note, you truly have a beautiful wife. Her spirit seems to shine through the photo you have posted.
Rainman, she probably will give you a hard time for posting that pic!

I think she looks really pretty even with the short hair....and I'm a female, too. So, you tell her that...we wish her a great recovery, keep us posted during her convalescence and make sure you tell her that I said she looks good!).
Ladies, a special thanks to you both for those comments. I really think the hair is a good look for her too, and not because it was me that suggested the total trim. lol And I've told her it looks great, but she didn't believe me until others confirmed it.(I'm not sure why? something about pants making something look bigger????---I don't know???)
The last "brain drain" (shown in the pic) comes out today and she may come home this weekend or early next week.
I have a picture of what I THOUGHT was MY dog in a Muddy Water post, but they say dogs are like their owners so he MUST be Cathy's because he had a similar sized tumor completely removed from his front elbow just 3 weeks before Cathy. And like her, he has made an amazing recovery as well!
Life can be strange, but right now it is VERY sweet.
Seriously, JWAP, I thought your and Jeff's recent experiance with his dad was such a blessing, being able to be there for the last lucid moments and the chance to say good bye. Jeff's words telling us all here of the experiance brought me to tears (like now, again). I truly felt both the sorrow and joy he did when reading about it.
(BTW welcome to the forum---is it now JeffHADapond?)
Thanks again to everyone. I am forever grateful!
