Amy Jo Speaks out...

The following words are from Amy Jo---

Hey everyone this is Amy writing from my home in Lawrence.  I just returned from taking Ollie and friends to the dog park!  It is amazing how well I feel...definately much better than I look.  Swollen, black and blue eyes, do not make one much of a looker.  My Mom is staying with me and trying to get me to sit down but I am roaming my house like a crazy person. 

Going through this whole tumor thing has been insane... but in a good way.  I realize that I will never again take for granted the days I wake up and feel good and excited about life.  I will never take my family, friends, co-workers and the power of positive thought and prayer for granted.  I was blown away by all the people following the blog and I give it much of the credit for my fast recovery.  I started with seven facebook friends and now have over 100! (103 to be exact)  It has been great to hear from some school friends that I haven't heard from in years.  (Heck if is takes a little tumor to get re-aquainted then thats what it takes!)   

There are so many people that have stopped their lives to help me with this condition.  My friends  who installed a shower, fixed things and organized a cleaning group at my house to make sure it was germ free... thank you soooo much!  Thanks also to my family and friends who sat up at the hospital for hours on end waiting for any word from surgery.  All of the cards and get well notes I have received have meant so much.  I have been touched by all the kindness and love surrounding me and  thank you all so very, very much.
