Shhhh, Madre Is Sleeping

2/26/2014

just talked to dad. they are home (and  have been for a few hours) and mom is doing her usual routine when she doesnt feel good - sleeping. i must have learned it from her, cuz thats what i do too. maybe thats just how we women in the family heal best? i dont have any statistics to back it up - i just know it works for us.

i told dad to unplug the phones and turn the volume on the answering machine down so she can continue to rest. what do you bet he doesnt listen to me? :)

please give mom a day or two to rest,  readjust, and get some of that anesthesia and morphine out of her system (shes still not all "there" just yet) before calling to check on her.

dinners are covered and i promise i wont let the two of them starve!!

sending wishes is more than enough. if you really feel compelled, send her a card with some uplifting words of encouragement, or post a comment. i will make sure she is read everyone while she is away from the keyboard.

THANKS!! and...as madre always closes...

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

    Janene...

    ... was diagnosed with breast cancer on November 11, 2013. This is a place for all of the people who love and care about her to get the information about her treatment and her personal experience of kicking cancer's ass, (sometimes from her daughter's perspective). It's hard to stand by and not be able to do anything to help. Writing gives my mom an outlet and allows both of us to share information during this time. Therefore, we blog :)
