I am so pleased! Alison very kindly (and not quite sure why :o)) has nominated me for this. Thank you Alison - you make me smile too. I want to award this to everyone who has supported me in the last few months. Not all of you have blogs of your own but I don't think that matters, you have all been and are fantastic.
Dogga, Thank you for visiting, your blog has made me chuckle loads.
Other news from the front.....
Mum has had her operation today and has responded brilliantly. She is wide awake, not in too much pain and having a laugh. Which is superb. Or should I say a miracle? She may need another op if the cancer had gone to the lymph nodes but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.
Larry is still struggling I think. He used to play all the time with Yogi and considering he is a rather unsociable dog (to put it mildly) that was quite amazing. I think he is missing his buddy more than he cares to admit. He still won't come upstairs which is a real shame. He does seem a little more lively with Fudge here to stay though. I think we all just need time to adjust.
I have had a shock of my own but better now. The day after Yogi died, I found a lump in my breast. Couldn't believe it and must admit I felt rather numb and sort of "I don't really care what happens now". Anyway, I went to the doctors who referred me straight away to the hospital. A miracle in itself as I thought the waiting time was weeks not days. Yesterday I had an appointment with the surgeon who told me they were fine, just cysts. Must admit, I didn't feel that numb when they stuck the needle in!!! All is fine now though, a little smaller in the "upstairs" department. But generally relieved.
Today is the first day I have been able to talk about Yogi without a breakdown. That's a first.
Graham, your advice about wailing, I have been taking it, yes, it does help
I have just visited Teresa's blog, how my heart is going out to you. You are one strong lady but you probably don't feel it right now. My thoughts are with you, Cole and Bridget.

Yay! Thanks for the award! I am so glad that your Mum is fine... and that you are fine too. You've been through so much lately; it is almost too much for one person.
There is a wonderful saying that my yoga teacher says at the end of class: "May I and all beings know peace. May I and all beings be free and safe from harm. May you go forth with light in your heart. The light in me honors the light in you."
Peace to you Fiona.
Glad to hear that the lump was only cysts. News doesn't get better than that.
Really good news all round. I think Yogi is stepping in to take care of all of you!
Thanks for the award - my first, and as I don't have a blog probably my only one, but it is good to know we make you smile.
Big hugs and kisses for Larry who is obviously missing Yogi very much.
Fiona, thank you for the award! With all you have going on, this is really extra special.
I glad that both you and your mum are OK.
Wailing is good. Very good.
Thanks for sharing the award, Fiona, and I am so happy to hear that your Mum came thru the surgery so well. Also, that your test results were negative. What a relief! Hope Larry is feeling better. It is quite an adjustment all of you are going thru. Thinking of you. Keep in touch when you can.
XOXO
Thanks for the award - and I am so glad you turned out not to have the nasty sort of lumps - had near heart attack reading through your post until I got to the end! Hope everything heals well, and that your Mum continues to do well.
Mega THANKS for the award!!!
It shall live proudly in my sidebar forever more :]
What an emotional roller coaster you're on at the moment :'[
Healing thoughts and fingers and toes crossed over here!
Keep us posted...
Thanks very much Fiona! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to pick it up. Awards must have really been the last thing on your mind over the past couple of weeks. I hope you're OK, and I'm delighted that your Mums responding so well to the treatment, and your lumps didn't turn out to be anything serious. Yogi will be keeping a close eye on you all.....
