morning of the surgery

This was such a scarey morning on Dec 15th.  Eight days earlier she had been diagnosed with bone cancer after we were treating a slight limp and swollen foot.  Never thought it would happen so quickly.  On the way out the door I wanted to get one more picture of that nasty leg with all the cancer in it.  Turned out the surgeon said it was the size of a small grapefruit.  OMG.  No wonder she was in such pain.  So I made my feelings known but writing BAD on that leg.  Then off we went for a 4.5 hour anesthesia and a 2.5 hour procedure.  Surgeon told us later it was really difficult but she got good margins and lymph nodes were clear.  She’s been such a good patient.
