4 days after surgery and I feel GREAT! Relatively speaking. I have the most wonderful people taking care of me. My mom and Kelly have been keeping me well over here, and Jason and Brenda have our house well under control. This is not to mention all of the folks driving to and from with my kids, making meals, working on finishing projects at our house, etc... Did I mention how much I appreciate everyone, near and far?
I was hoping to hear from the docs yesterday about the pathology results, but no such luck. Dr. Kari said if she found out over the weekend, she would call, but it may turn into Monday. I am not too nervous, but at the same time, it would be nice to hear that I am in the clear. I have an appointment on Monday morning with Dr. Demas, the plastic surgeon. He will hopefully take the drains (2) out because I don't really see that they are taking too much out. He'll also check the incisions. I am looking forward to that. The drains are to make sure that no pockets are left where they did the surgery.... very standard procedure.
I took another walk down to the bottom of Moo's driveway this morning. Kelly and Sadie accompanied me. Sadie spent the night last night and that made me so very happy. I still haven't seen Chaser, but it wouldn't be fair to yet. It would be selfish on my part, because there is no way of him understanding why I wouldn't just pick him up and squeeze him! A few more days will give me even more mobility in my arms (right now I can reach out about 6-8 inches) and then I can see him.
I hope you all enjoy the lovely November weather (which may be easier for some than others)!
Cheers, Ash

ASH - YOU KNOW SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THAT - LIFE WAS NOT MEASURED BY THE BREATHS WE TAKE - BUT - IT'S MEASURED BY WHAT TAKES OUR BREATS AWAY. WITH ALL THIS GOING ON WITH YOU - IT'S LIKE A LESSON FOR EVERYBODY TO FIND THINGS THAT TAKE THERE BREATHS AWAY.
Thank you so very much for being a special part of my journey in life. Your strength and your bravery is what takes my breath away today :-)
I'm so glad that you have such a wonderful family. Sisters are one of the blessings that only a few get to have.
Take care Ash - luv u Di
Hi,
I haven't had the chance to meet you in person yet but have heard that you are amazing. This is Karen, Jason's cousin, over her in New York. My mom has kept me updated on your diagnosis and progress. It sounds as things are going well for you. I hope your healing is quick and that you can feel yourself again. I have battled cancer myself and would love to be there for you if you need someone to talk to that "has been there". It sounds as though your support system is incredible and that you are surrounded by so much love. Please feel free to contact me anytime you like as I know the emotional roller-coaster has its own schedule. This blog is such a great idea! Take care-Karen and family

Dear Ashley,
Tom and I are thinking of you and got a personal update from Molly when we went to our favorite restaurant Keepers the other night! All of us at The Kedron are keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers. You are one strong person and all the love and support you are getting is a true testiment to what kind of person and friend you are to others. As I tell my kids all the time...You get what you give!
Take care, rest up and we will see you SOON!
Love, Cindy and Tom List
