A nip, tuck, trot and pics!

I just wanted to let you know that my surgery Friday went well - I was out in less than an hour with disolvable stitches and very little dressing. I saw Dr. Campbell Wednesday and he was happy with how it was healing. My blood work this week showed my liver function only "slightly" abnormal, so I'm back to methotrexate, one of the drugs in my chemo protocol.

On the right side of the blog I've included a link to my Light the Night team page. Light the Night is a beautiful, relaxed event held by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society every year. It is a leisurely walk held at dusk, by the river, with friends, family and supporters carrying illuminated balloons - red for supporters and white for survivors. It's quite an amazing sight to see, and is actually a lot of fun. This is the third year for the event in Calgary and we have a team called "Tricia's Trotters" for friends and family - my friend Tasha and many of her "trotter" friends are also coming. There are also "Tricia" teams walking in Vancouver and New York. If you'd like to come out and "trot" you can follow the link to register online. You can also find other cities walk sites there. If you can't walk, you can also make a donation by following the link and clicking on my name, which takes you to my donation page. Tax receipts are printable as soon as you make the donation online. Last year I was in the hospital while teams walked in Calgary, New York and Vancouver. This year I plan to be out there walking, carrying a white balloon! I'd love to see you there!

Finally, I wanted to post a few pics of Amy's wedding in Regina at the end of June - there's one of Amy and her mom Ellen and Dad Ted,
one fuzzy one her and Ryland at dinner,
and one of mom and I at the ceremony.


As well - some updated pictures of the twins



- they're walking now! Look out!
