Thursday Thoughts

Good morning, friends!

I'm doing a little bit different type of post this morning because I need you to send up your prayers and good thoughts for my husband, Mike, today.

A favorite picnic spot - Ecola State Park, Cannon Beach, Oregon.


He was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago, and today he is having surgery.  Anxiety - producing in the best of times, but you can just imagine how we are feeling in these crazy times.

Mike loves golf!

Once he has healed from surgery, there will be additional treatment, but the doctor feels Mike's prognosis is good, and I'm focusing on that!



One of these days, when all of life gets back to normal, 
we will be walking on our favorite beach again.

Hopefully, Mike will be back home by Saturday and on the road to recovery.  Meanwhile, you'll understand if I'm absent from blogland for awhile.   Thanks for your friendship and your good thoughts and prayers.  It's so appreciated!

I'm joining LeeAnna and friends at Not Afraid of Color for "I Like Thursday."

  3. I know exactly what you're going through since you know my husband just had cancer surgery less than 2 weeks ago (seems like ages!). Of course you and Mike will be in my prayers for healing. Come back to Blogland when you can. We'll all be here like we are here for you now! Peace.

  6. sending all my positive thoughts to you - I know you will not be able to be at the hospital with him this week and I am so sorry about that - that makes it even harder to have to have the phone at your side to get updates from the nurses and then from Mike when he can phone you - I'm thinking of you both

  9. Oh Diann, I'm feeling for you and holding you both up in prayer. I didn't see your post till today, so I assume surgery took place yesterday. How hard it must be for you, not only for Mike's surgery, but to have it taking place during the current world situation. Keep us posted as you are able, but please don't feel you have to respond to our comments. Big hugs to you.

  10. Hi Diann! Oh, I am so sorry you and Mike are having to deal with this right now. (or anytime, for that matter). Yes, please focus on the good prognosis. I will hold you both closely in prayer. It won't be long and you'll be walking on your favorite beach and he'll be swinging the golf clubs. {{Hugs}} Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or vent whenever you need to. I'll be checking in with you to see how he and you are doing. ~smile~ Roseanne

  26. Oh, wow, that's stressful, especially with all that's going on. I'm so glad he got into the surgery itself! I know places were looking to cut back on any surgical procedures. You're in my thoughts - be safe.
