Having online friends can suck sometimes in a very big way. Take today for example. I have a good friend that went in for surgery at 10am (hopefully went in on time). It is a major surgery. They found a mass on her lung. Everything is supposed to be routine and even "if" it's cancerous they shouldn't even need to do chemo for it. Just remove the 3rd lobe and all is good. It didn't show any signs of having spread. Of course that is before they get in there.
Now a local friend I would probably be watching their kids for them, or I would at least have the option of going over and helping out while they are home recovering. But since it's across country from me I just feel so useless! All I can do is sit here and worry.
She has a lot of things going for her, but she also has some not good health issues. She is only 29 for cryin' out loud. You're not supposed to be sick so young. She did already quite smoking this year before they even found the mass. So 3 cheers for not having withdrawals and surgery to recover from! Good job girl!
I know my Grandpa had a whole lung removed and that was ages ago, so medicine has gotten so much better since then. But I just can't stand this waiting helplessly. Thankfully I have sporadic appointments to keep me busy. They are also letting me check in online to see if another friend has heard from her hubby yet. You know, the email tree? lmao
I know I will hear some news in a few hours and I know she is going to be just fine. She has a lot of positive energy behind her. But I just feel like a mommy today and I'm so worried. If I had someone to watch the kids, I'd so hop a plane right now!

Awww! I didn't know you were blogging about me!! LOL! I can't keep up with all you ladies.
But, no worries ... you all made me feel so great before I went in. I honestly felt like you were all right there with me! And I know had it been possible, there would have been a lot of you ladies there!
I also have a wonderful support group here at home with my family and my husband's family.
So, as you can tell ... this shall be my own little update here readers. I'm A-okay now! Home, quite sore of course but I'll survive. The mass also turned out to be non-cancerous (YAY!)
Thanks for everything Val!!
Take care,
Anita :-)
Of course I'm blogging about you. Thankfully I've never had any friends with such a close scare before.
Although my very best friend tried a year or so ago. Luckily she didn't give me enough of the details until after for me to be really worried.
That reminds me, I need to call and yell at her about that again!
