Our sweet, beloved hamster, Hammy, has gone to hamster heaven. We are all sad and will miss his little furballnes so much. Well, the kids will anyway.
We buried him in our backyard and all the kids helped.
We woke up one Sat. morning to find Hammy hard as a rock. Not quite sure what happened, but im suprised he lasted this long. We arent the best with pets, so I think we will wait a while until we venture the pet road again.
I caught Caleb, about an hour later, sitting at the table staring out the window where he was buried. So sweet.
We will miss you Hammy!!

I am a friend of Maureen Ewell's and I was diagnosed with late stage 3 Breast Cancer and experienced many of the feelings that you are. As far as surgeons go with your gut... I met someone during my Chemo sessions and made an appointment with her surgeon as I was not comfortable with the one that I had and I was so glad I did see her surgeon, I was able to change surgeons and that really helped me feel so much more confident in that part of the process. I also asked about having a double mastectomy and was advised that they type of Breast Cancer that I had was not likely to occur in the other breast. I pray that the doctors are correct. I had a radical mastectomy of my right breast and also had 11 of 16 lymph nodes come back positive for cancer. Did not like that at all. Dr. Hyde, my surgeon, said that he would not do reconstruction for two years. I did not understand until he calmy explained that the type and amount of cancer that I had, the recurrance was most likely to occur within the first 2 years after the surgery and he did not want to do any reconstruction until he was comfortable that we were in the clear..... I totally agreed once he explained what his experience had been.
When I did have reconstruction, I did have a procedure called a Free Tram Flap. which is a fairly new procedure, where the tissue, muscle that were taken from my stomach was removed and reattached through micro-surgery. The reconstruction surgery took approx 12 hours and the results were really amazing...... The recovery from the surgery was brutal, but now looking back I am really grateful. I have no implant, the reconstruction is all my tissue and yes having a smaller tummy is a bonus that I had not initially considered, but it is a good thing.
you can contact me at Ktranum@san.rr.com if there are any questions that you might have for me.
God Bless and bask in the love of your lord, family and friends.
