A Double Dose of Hilary

Hello wonderful and supportive friends of my namesake. 

 This is the other Hilary (from The Smitten Image) writing on behalf of our dear friend Hilary (right here at Crazy as a Loom). She sent me an email from her phone, this morning and asked me to let you all know how she is doing.

 In a nutshell (and we all know that Hilary is one tough nut), she's doing fantastic! Yay!

 Here's her note to me, so that you can read for yourself. And smile. And tear up just a wee bit with relief and gratitude.


This surgey was half as long
I came out of anesthesia ready to rock
I don't understand but I'm grateful
Spasms in neck muscles not bad
This time feels different
My son in law texted me before surgery
And said what I guess I needed to hear
He said:
Kick ass, like you always do.
And I think I did
And I think my mom was in the OR
Just tell everyone that I'm really fine
And thanks for all well wishes and prayers
Think they held me up

    Yes, certainly tearing up with relief and gratitude. Prayers for quick healing for a special lady who has had a big and beautiful impact on my life. Wishing her a quick recovery so that she can get back to the things that bring her joy.

    Thank you for the update. I am hopeful that this third one's a charm. Having had three major surgeries in 2010 I know how you feel but I didn't have to live with that headache. Please the gods, it is gone. Thinking of you Hilary. xo

    Thank you Hilary and Hilary for the update! Although I never had a doubt that Hilary would as her son in law said for her to do...kick ass...I am still having a bout of tears of relief. I am so happy that our friend has once again pulled another surgery off without a hitch. Let's all pray that this be the very last one!!!

    I am so very relieved and grateful to hear of your recovery! I have no doubt that your Mom was with you all the way, supporting and lending you her strength as well. I am praying that the special feelings that you are having are the true beginnings of the rest of your beautiful life and look forward to again reading your commentary on the beauty of life, your children and grands, Next and the other cats, and hopefully, the weaving, too. Good luck in finding a new owner for your business in a speedy manor so that you may begin the pursuit of Life on your terms. Thank you and your friend Hilary for letting the rest of your friends know how you are doing and now, get on with your Recovery! Thank you for being the very special, sharing and caring person that you are!
