The Big Day (and a guest blogger)

Hi friends, family, friends of family, and family of friends:


I am not Hanna, much as I sometimes wish I were. My name is Jenny Elder-Moke, and I am a friend of Hanna's from her Quotient days (we left the job, but kept each other). Hanna has asked me to keep the blog updated today with news of the progress of her surgery as her friend, Sarah Darby, shares it.


There are so many of you out there keeping Hanna in your thoughts and prayers, and she didn't want anyone to miss out. Jeff will be sharing updates via Facebook, Sarah will be texting and emailing updates as they get them, and I will be posting those updates here on the blog.


I will do my best to keep it updated throughout the day, so check back here frequently for news.


Also, my hashtag game isn't anywhere near as strong as Hanna's, so forgive me for missing out on any. The important one for now is #Hanna.





Thanks to you all,
Jenny

So John McCain and I have something in common...

It's weird to know when to break information or how to know when a story really "starts." For me, I have a doozy of a story that will rock a few worlds and break a few hearts. I guess I'll just jump right in and shock ya. I have been diagnosed with primary brain cancer. We are working with a team of people to figure out exactly what that means - aside from the fact that I have a lesion in my right frontal lobe that is aggressive and malignant....meaning, not so good but maybe not so bad? So, here are the events as they happened. Our little family of four recently returned from a family vacation with my Mom and Dad in Allenspark, Colorado over July 4th. We took 9 days and just had a wonderful time! We had pretty much returned home, unloaded the car and tried to settle back into our normal routines. We got home July 10th, had a pretty normal work week and were settling into our first weekend home. It was a Saturday, July 15th and Jeff had just finished up some

The One I've Been Avoiding Writing

Please note, that is not our dog but Bonnie Blue - owned by Wren and Susan Munsterman. I own real dogs. Let me preface this post with an apology for the typos - I'm typing but I'm not going to be able to see the screen through my tears and emotions. Sorry. Since July 15 I've got a water problem - my eyes leak. I've identified the triggers which lead to this and have been doing a pretty legit job of avoiding thinking too much about a few things. Yet, I need to poke the wounds because I need to be able to get through these difficult thoughts just in case . OH GOD I hate typing those words. It's that dreaded what if...and not the positive version. It starts with getting the urgent, nasty conversations out of the way. Jeff and I have slowly been having these conversations because I want to do it once - early - get it out of the way and then we don't have to talk about it for the next 50 years. We're going to make these hard decisions and then move f

A Broken Phone and a Lot of Kindness - Saying Thank You

An example of a picture I would have lost without my new friend D I was mean today. I got a telemarketer call from my mortgage company to do an "account review." I have asked them not to call me about this about 10 times over the past few months - I'm fine with my mortgage, we pay on time, the right amount, and my interest rate is pretty outstanding. We're just not interested in an "account review"...oh, and it's during working hours - so I'm busy...you know working - so I can pay for my mortgage. WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME TO STOP CALLING?!  It wasn't Mr Telemarketer's fault - he too was just doing his job but dude, not the week for me to talk to you. And then MD Anderson called while he had me on a brief hold - I elected to hang up on him and talk to the schedulers instead. I guess I should expect a call from him again tomorrow and I'll have another chance to try again - this time I'll be nice. It goes to show that I'm not
