Well it has been an interesting week.  My surgery is now 7 days past, I came home from the hospital on Saturday and am still marveling at what a lucky woman I am.  The most important thing to note is that all is well, after extensive testing I have a clean bill from all pathologists, surgeons and medical types.  There were 2 thoughts that crossed my mind when I was handed this wonderful document, suitable for framing, in my weird world.

Thought #1:   How freaking lucky am I?  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thought #2:   I wish everyone that has ever laid in a hospital bed or anywhere really, waiting for the word from some far away life defining lab could feel what I was feeling at that moment.

The reality is many are not nearly as lucky as I was.    I will always remember to be grateful.  I’m not much for taking too much for granted in this life but I will be obsessive about it now.

The healing process has begun, I am movin’ kinda slow (at the junction) OK, I walk like I’m about 114 with a foreign object protruding from my hind quarters….great visual isn’t it……I do have a way with words!

I am on the mend, I will follow the Doctor’s orders,  to the letter.  I hope to be back on the air from my home in a month or so and back to the station in about 7 weeks, that should do it.  In the mean time, THANK YOU for all the prayers (keep ‘em coming, they are what provided me with the outcome I was hoping for), for the cards, facebook messages and e-mails.  You are all blessings in my life, ones I am most thankful for.  My family and friends  have been waiting on me hand and foot, I want for nothing!!!   At the risk of repeating myself, I am one lucky lady!!  Thank you!! I have you in my prayers as well, Terry

Students, staff, administration and alumni at St. John Fisher College gathered this weekend for a 24  hour dance marathon for the 28th time to support Camp Good Days and Special Times!!  It’s called “The Teddi Dance” named for Teddi Mervis, who aspired to attend SJFC but died at age 12 of a malignant brain tumor.  Year after year the kids at Fisher raise money, awareness and infuse a wonderful spirit into our community!  I have had the privilege of being involved, in a very small, way for many years now, it’s one of the happiest days of the year for me.  This year they raised more than 45 thousand dollars for Camp Good Days. 

I have made no attempt to hide how much I loved my years at Fisher and how much I treasure my current  relationship with that school.    I am so proud to be associated with St. John Fisher College, it’s students and staff!  Thanks guys for another great day, Can’t wait till next year!!
