Counting Blessings and Saying Prayers

I think this is the longest I have ever gone without posting....been a little preoccupied. My mother had a full hysterectomy on Wednesday. Of course we were nervous waiting on her surgeon to come out and let us know how it went. The first word I heard was cancer, and for just a second my heart fell to my feet. Now we knew there was a chance of this...that was the reason for the surgery. He explained that there was cancer in the uterus, but it had not gone outside and therefore he got it all and no reason for any radiation. Thank you sweet Lord! She did great! My mother is 74 years old and had not been in the hospital since she had me almost 43 years ago. She got up yesterday, took a shower and was walking down the hallways. She is going home today.
As for saying prayers....TS Hannah is on her way here! I pray for my families and everyone Else's safety. I have made my run to the the grocery store, for bread, milk, monkey food (that what my husband calls canned food and munchies). I don't know about the rest of you, but here in North Carolina when we even hear that bad weather is coming.....we got to go to the store...we are gonna eat!

Everyone stay safe!
