I suspect the next few weeks as she recovers will be interesting. And we still need to get the results from the lab regarding the nature of the masses that were removed. Who knows when the next challenge will arise and what it will bring with it. But we're just going to take each day one at a time and enjoy every dang one of them for as many as we get.
