The War On My Rack

To all my family and friends,

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for your comments, emails, phone calls and prayers over the last two weeks. This has been an overwhelming experience, but the support I have received has meant more to me than I could ever express.

I also wanted to say a special thank you to Lisa for starting this blog and keeping it updated with the latest info. Also for all the dinners she made for me last week. And for being such a wonderful sister in general.

Honorable mention goes out to my BFF Angie for coming up with the idea for the title of this post. Good one, Ang!

My surgery is officially scheduled for November 15th. I will only be in the hospital for the day. I'm taking two weeks off from work to recouperate from surgery, and I plan to go back to work after that and work throughout the radiation treatment. The battle has only just begun, but I feel strong and I'm ready for the fight.

Much love to you all...

Emily

Hi Em!
Good to hear from you! You have very funny supporters! The War on my Rack is as funny as Brenden's comments!
I love you like crazy and will be thinking good thoughts all day on the 15th...

Oh, sorry... It was Branden with the boobie prize comment! :)
Funny stuff!!!

You are an inspiration and I love you to bits. Just remember... much like the War on Iraq, it's all about LIBERATING the rack and returning it to a peaceful state. Thankfully with this war, I think you'll be able to avoid roadside bombings. I can't say for sure.

Yay, Em! You go, Girl! With that warlike attitude, courage, and spirit, the enemy will surely be decimated. Continue to be strong and charge on into life. We're all behind you.
Love you loads,
Wendy

After reading your blog, I've officially stopped feeling sorry for myself having my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. I've been whining about it all day, and here you are all brave and strong...you are such an inspiration. THANK YOU, EM!

Best thoughts will be sent from me to you on the 15th! ~B

Does this mean you've got a surgical strike planned for the 15th?
And that after that, you'll be employing the nuclear option?
I think it does.

We're thinking about you all the time here, kid. Love you to bits.

I had no idea you had such clever friends and family! No wonder you are so witty and wise yourself. Thoughts and prayers are being sent your way as you go into battle. You will win this war!
