Today is the day...

Many of you may remember reading this

Due to many roadblocks including, finances, job, medical reasons, and other general logistics, Beth's surgery has been put off and off and off.

I have not been blogging about it only because information has kind of been day-to-day, and there has not been a lot of solid information to report. So in an effort to not confuse all three of my readers, I have not shared all of the information as it has come to me, and at this time I am thankful for that because it has changed so many times I think I would have driven us all crazy.

My latest tag line has been "I am not saying anything until the scalpel touches the skin," well friends, this morning at 7:15 the scalpel touched the skin, and Beth's surgery is underway.

This surgery is very intense (I believe it will be about 8 - 10 hours long today), and Beth will have a long road to recovery ahead of her. I am so happy that this surgery is finally happening, and cannot wait until my Mother-in-Law is able to feel a bit better as she moves on to her next adventure in life. She deserves happiness and comfort.

I will provide many updates on this blog as to how she is doing, and hopefully the information will get to the people who care about her and are interested in her condition.

All the thoughts, prayers, donations, love, support, friendship, help, advice, and so on have been beyond appreciated, and have truly helped my family get to today, and will surely help us get through what is beyond today. For these things, I thank you all.

If any of you know me, you know that I love to laugh and believe humor to be very important and one of my strongest attributes. I will leave you all with this quote from one of the funniest fellas around. It is helping me keep what is important close to me, and it is helping me to chuckle my way through what has been, and will continue to be, and pretty tough situation.

“Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.” - Bill Cosby
