About Me
- Faith G
- I began blogging when I was diagnosed in Feb. 2008 with invasive breast cancer and needed surgery and chemotherapy; the blog was then a means to keep in touch with friends and family without running my cell phone bill up every billing cycle. Despite what I may feel at the dark, lonely 2 am hour, breast cancer is not who I am (although it's pretty much what I'll be doing for the next few months). I am a devout Catholic (a revert to the faith). So those are some of the big things. Little things...Um, ok... left handed, bookworm, introvert (melancholic- phlegmatic for you RC types, INFJ for the Meyers Briggs types) special ed teacher, loves pickles (got them for Christmas a few years ago and can make a darned good Polish Pickle soup), love "Lost", don't like sushi, have no interest in jumping out of airplanes but hang gliders might be peaceful, get very carsick, love animals, often dream about sharks and Disneyland (but never in the same dream); drive a non- descript, dirty white car with a pro life bumper sticker on it, no allergies except to penicillin, drug of choice is Vicks NyQuil, like Peets hot chocolate and Starbucks iced tea, coffee is gross and so is beer.

When I was learning hospital ministry, I learned that the difference between minor surgery and major surgery is that minor surgery is what happens to someone else. No big deal, huh?
May God grant wisdom and skill to your doctors and nurses, and peace and rapid healing to you. God bless and keep you!
good luck never liked surgery myself, you are in my prays

Hope the surgery goes well and I'm just happy I won't have to pick you up afterwards and drive you back home with bloody cotton swabs in your mouth. Remember that? Not a pleasant memory. Love you, Hoper
Sorry Binkers that we were not there as the Gillis Posse to visit you in recovery and guide the confused out in the waiting room. We appreciate that your sister, Trinka, was there for you in our stead.
We pray that we will always stay as a family, in the good and the anxious moments, secure in our memories and our hope for the future. Chubs
For those like me who've been watching this site for news on Faith's surgery, I just received the following email from her:
The surgery went without a hitch, but the recovery is a bit more drawn out than I thought it would be. I'm still dizzy if I sit up for very long or spend too much time looking at the computer screen. I'll post in a few days to update everyone.
