Leanne update

I visited Leanne yesterday and considering she had such a huge op she was looking well. The great news she does not neet a colostomy bag! Yeah!!!!!!
they were able to remove the tumour and re attach the bowell. Unfortunately while removing the second tomour they had to take her spleen and a small part of her pancreas, but we knew the spleen might have to go so she had shots in prep for this.
They are moving her to bentleigh east today so she will know more of the staff there, which is great.
Unfortunately we have spent so much time there that even the security staff know us.
So thats all, now with the tomours gone she is cancer free, so hopefully the next course of treatment is able to keep her that way, for a very, very long time.
About 80 years would be great!

Ps the house is very lonely without sabastian.

R.I.P SABASTIAN

My beautiful baby has crossed the rainbow bridge. His kidneys had shut down and he had high blood pressure. So I made the horrible decision to put him to sleep.
I held him and he purred until the end.
I will miss him everyday.
Love you bash.

a stressful day

today has me all tied up in knots.
Leanne is in the operating theater right now have two tumours removed. One near her spleen and one in her bowel.
They do not know if they will need to take her spleen out and she will wake up with a colostomy bag, either until she heal enough to reattach or for the rest of her life.
again the doctors dont know which until they open her up.
Meanwhile my cat has gone down hill very fast, and he has an appointment at 1.oopm with the vets. I suspect his kidneys but he now sleeps all the time and has lost alot of weight.
so as you can see, not a good day.
I will let you all know as soon as I do.

Morning glory

This is the view from my hammock chair this morning. In the distance I can hear a lawnmower going, and the constant sound of birds. A dog is barking somewhere in the neighbourhood and my faithful cat is meowing because she wants some attention. Ina minute buffy when I finish typing hahaha.
I'm off to have lunch with leanne and her sister today, she goes in for major surgery on Wednesday and we don't know how she will come out of it. The worst case is no spleen and a colostomy bag.
But for now we are being upbeat for her, I know she is very scared
Hope life is treating you well. Oh and by the way I have worked out how to post pics on my blog while on the iPad. So I'll see how it goes.
See ya

summer days

Yesterday the temp got up to 41 (104) degrees. It was a scorcher! Today it's nicer but still a day to be sitting inside me thinks. I don't do hot at all. All my joints swell up and it's nice. This morning my son took me out to brunch for my birthday so it was nice. But now I'm here while hubby is doing stuff around the house, I can here the chain saw and splitter going. And I'm just relaxing and reading, I'll go outside soon to water the. Veggie patch. I hope the weather is nice where you are, spare a though for our fellow Aussies in tassie. Huge fires going on there, hopefully they get them under control soon.

My birthday

Well today is my birthday and I am 46. I've already had a tst from my beautiful daughter but the boys are both at work and think I'm still asleep. I don't really feel old but gosh seeing my kids all grown up, and looking around this place and seeing how much we have changed it since moving in a young bride I think goodness but I've been busy.
So today I will be just taking life easy, reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future.
See ya

Happy new year!
Blogging from my sister in laws home as we spent new years eve here. Hubby and I slept in our van to save from having to drive home.
Had a fun night playing games and telling stories and laughing. Was the perfect way to bring in the new year.
Only thing missing were my kids but I'm getting used to it, kinda. I texted them at midnight but no response yet, baby girl did text me earlier as she is camping and the phone reception isn't the best. Where ever you are and whom ever your with have a safe and happy new year.
See ya
