On the mend!

As most of my readers know (all 2 of you)...I have recently had surgery. This is why I have been post-less for a while now. My apologies...I hope to be at least a little more consistent now.

I was diagnosed with a tumor on my thyroid back in January, 2007. I underwent several tests and the doctors couldn't figure out if it was cancer or not. So, it was recommended to me to have my entire thyroid removed (especially since there were several nodules all over the thyroid that could also eventually develop into tumors).

Since then, I had interviewed MANY surgeons & I think I found the right one for me. We removed the whole thyroid last week & I'm happy to say that they found NO CANCER!

It's been a helluva past 6 months & I am so grateful to my friends & family for being so loving & supportive throughout this whole ordeal. Everyone has truly amazed me with their generosity...I am one lucky lady!

So, I'm on the mend...slowly recovering and getting back to my normal lifestyle of hectic schedules, art projects and the rat race. I'm glad to be back!
