I've been thinking about her so much and thought her surgery was set for either Feb 6th or the 10th - I just saw she had signed Harley's guestbook, so I must have my dates wrong, because that would be impossible. Then again considering Mojo and her tenacity, maybe not so much! Any news would be appreciated, I would love to get word to her - thanks

I too hope she is recovering well and posts when she has the physical and emotional energy.

Since getting such a good outcome with your surgery, I feared we may have lost contact forever. I was glad to see you surface but sad to hear your news of losing your buddy. Your written memorial to him made me laugh and cry...so much love given, received and carried on forever. Love is a powerful thing. Thank you for asking about me. My surgery is set for Februar 19th at 12:30 .one week from today...countdown time, lol. I will post an update once I am able or I will have my daughter post a short note for me. I have been keeping my mind and body occupied with moving and setting up my lttle mountain place I bought. I hired movers and have been unpacking boxes for the past few days. I moved out of the apartment I had rented to be near my daughter and actually set up a "recovery" bedroom upstairs for the days after surgery. I spent some time with her and my 4 grandsons before going back to work on my mountain place. I needed some time to gather my thoughts for what lies ahead. Once I recover from surgery, I know mopup chemo will be on the books so I am trying not to dwell on that. It means I will have to stay in SC longer than I wanted to.  I want to be back in my little mountain place ASAP. I have been keeping the anxiety at bay pretty well. I'm sure it will increase as the day gets closer. (GOOD DRUGS PLEASE!!..lol) Love, light and HUGS!!..M

There you are, ravishing, gorgeous, a born class act, forever memorable and the envy of all who are lucky enough to gaze upon upon you. Once again I'm caught talking about myself, the shame of it all.  As for you, I'm so glad to see you and have the chance to both tell you how much it meant that you visited the tribute to my beloved Harley, especially with your plate so full at this time. Speaking of full plates the picture of me to your left should give you an idea just how full my "Plate' or rather plates actually were prior to my cancer diagnosis - but so far I've proven the surgeon wrong and have kept the weight off - I'm crying it off.

As for you, thanks for setting me straight on the dates and "setting me straight" isn't an easy thing to do. But now it's etched in my memory. Like so many others you'll be in my thoughts and prayers for complete successes and a swift, comfortable recovery. BTW, the recovery bedroom is a brilliant idea, I wish I had thought of it instead of sleeping in the garage. I'm glad you hired moving men, you're going to need them to help me unpack when I come to visit you. I think it's safe to say you're among those who know the fear, not of your surgery but of me coming to visit because that's worth getting anxious about. You've got amazing Doctors and those mountains you love so much are beckoning - you'll do wonderfully. And don't worry about the drugs, they'll be so good you'll be asking the surgeon to do it again.

You make me smile and I won't do without it!! Dry up those tears my friend. Harley's spirit is all around you and always will be. Love is endless and nothing can erase it. My extra bedroom is ready and waiting. If you are really brave, you can share my recovery room at my daughter's. That will save me from ringing that little bell when I need something....you can run downstairs and get it for me...SmileThe 4 grandsons will love you.  

I am soaking up my mountains over the next few days and will head back to my daughter's in SC probably Saturday or Sunday...I have that wonderful bowel prep to do on Monday..(yuck!) I'm actually not anxious about things as of yet but the closer we get to MUSC on Tuesday, I'm sure it will build. What will be , will be and I know I have been blessed beyond belief in so many ways. Life can reroute you so that you see things in a different light. We all need that sometimes. I'm just hoping life will slow it down just a little for me after this...lol. I hope you have recovered from your own surgery and are doing well with your own health and well being. I know that ache of missing Harley hurts more than physical pain ever could but time will ease that and turn it into smiles, laughter and warm fuzzies when you think of him. As always, sending a HUGE hug to you and yours and wishing happy days for you always!!...M

I'm glad you have your daughter and beautiful mountains to help you through this ordeal.  Take deep breaths of fresh mountain air.  The peace you find in your mountain home will help you through surgery.

Enjoy your daughter even though your sites are on the mountains.  You will be thankful for the help after and it will be a great little distraction while you continue to get strong enough to be on your own.  You have a wonderful and positive attitude and just know you are going to come out of this strong with with a lot of MOJO.  Always know you have us to help you get through it.

This journey has taught me to enjoy each moment as it comes. My daughters have been my anchors thru this. My 4 grandsons have kept the laughter and joy spilling over daily. I am blessed in so many ways and I try not to ever take that for granted. The mountain place has been good as a diversion to keep me occupied and it feeds my spirit and soul as well. I am just letting the days and moments come and trying to savor every second. Kim, you are a rock on this site for so many including me. Thank you for always being there with a kind thought and encouragement. Much appreciated!! Hugs, M

It sounds like you have the right mind-set to face the upcoming challenges.  I am glad that you are finding moments of peace, despite the storm.

All the best hopes and wishes for you on the 19th (I am an atheist, so I don't do the prayers thing).  As for me, I just completed another Grand Canyon hike (see updated profile photo).  I take great comfort from making the best of each moment and each day.  It is good to see that you do the same.  Enjoy the mountains!
