Yes...the 'C' word was mentioned but not before another complication of an abscess on the spine!!! That evening we rushed him to hospital and we have been here ever since!
They've drained the abcess....the cancer will be addressed at a date down the track...soon, but not until the infection is gone. Needless to say, I've been offline this week!
Good news though is dad's much better now the abcess is drained (although he'll need to get it drained again on Monday), and the cancer in his kidney is ok for now and can wait till he's better....We are being looked after and watched over, that's for sure!
So please forgive my absence but I've been a little preoccupied, but not idle!! I've been working on a new secret project which is hidden in my favorite craft caddy.....
...designed by my good friend and fellow designer, Marilyn of Mardi Meandering. If you pop on over to her blog, you'll be able to see some of her fabulous designs.
This poem from Bonnie Hunter really brought me comfort this week....a bit of a giggle but also reassurance and a reality check of what's really important !
Sugary hugs xox

ReplyDeleteI feel for you. As it was to be my sons 20th birthday yesterday. It was hard to deal with not having him hem. We did get together with 18 of his friends though. Meanwhile my father in law had open heart surgery on Monday and he is recovering well. We are entertaining my mother in law and doing the twice daily trips in to the hospital. My in laws live in Bairnsdale, so as we are the closest to the city we have a lot on our plate at the moment.. It is draining so I do understand
