It's Not Cancer!!!

Okay. So I've been totally holding out on you guys.

Not that my sister would have appreciated me screaming the initial worry from the mountaintops anyway...because she likely wouldn't have, especially since she's one of my regular readers.

But now that she is out of surgery and the doctors have confirmed that everything is okay...

SHE DOESN'T HAVE CANCER!!

She's gone through it once, and once was one time too many. I was able to talk to her on the phone and she seriously sounded drunk as a skunk from all the drugs they had her on...an elated skunk at that, though I'm sure she smells much better than those pesky rodents.

So she'll be good to go for the Berry Women half marathon out in Palm Springs next month, and the race will just have that much more meaning. But the best part is...this doesn't interfere with her and her hubby adopting Lexi from China.

I'm not sure this day can get any better!

Well...unless, of course, my Jayhawks win the Orange Bowl tonight...but I'm not exactly holding my breath on that one...

But YAY! It's not cancer! Come join me in my jubilation!!

That is all.

Carry on.

It's always good when it's NOT cancer.

As the pin that I wear on my hospital badge proudly proclaims,

"Cancer sucks."
