It's a long road!

On May 1, I had surgery to remove a huge tumor off of my thigh. The incision was quite long
and the doctor had to take quite a bit of good tissue in hopes of preventing it from returning.
(This is the third time it has come back. This time it was bigger, came back faster, and hurt.)
It is not cancerous, which we are very thankful. This surgery REALLY hurt and I am taking
longer to recover. Because the doctor took so much tissue out, I am having problems with
it filling up with fluid. One week alone they drained 23 oz. off of it. I know that sounds really
gross. She said it was as much as a can of pop. Ha! Talk about hurting!!! Now I am going back
2-3 times a week for it to be drained. I wish it would hurry up and heal!! I don't like being
crippled!! But she said it will be a long process.

Next week my sweet daughter will graduate from high school as well as the local community college. That is so hard to believe!!! I can't be that old!!! I am so proud of her. She has
accomplished something that required a lot of work and endurance. She had a prom party on
Friday. Next week is graduation with 2 parties--will I ever be busy. She is an awesome girl!!!

I am getting sleepy now so I must go to bed. Insomnia has set it so I will probably be awake
in a few hours--again.
