Well, the news has hit my family hard about my mom being diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. With no tests available to detect Ovarian Cancer and my mom barely having any symptoms to boot, she started feeling like crap in mid July....August was test after test...and September 15th she was diagnosed. (That's the shortest version ever.)
The turbulance of this news has really kicked us all in the butt, however, we are strong! My mom is driven and my Dad - well let's just say if we're picking teams - you want my Dad on your team. No questions asked. Please visit our Family Blog to keep up with news related to our Mom. Not much at this blog yet, as it was just started a few days ago. Just to recap though - Mom's currently in the hospital on blood thinner medication because they found one medium and a few smaller blood clots in her lungs and she is being monitored while on blood thinner medication and getting other stuff done. She received her power port for chemo on Monday and is scheduled to start chemo on Friday of this week. She is in good spirits, eating well and has been "booked" solid with visitors since she went into the hospital last Thursday. Mom's popular.
And we've talked a lot. And Skyped. How awesome to be sitting there (me on the hospital tray table via the laptop during visiting hours.) Thanks to my dad for setting this up!
So for Mother's Day earlier this year, I got Mom a subscription to Martha Stewart's Living magazine and she said she just loves getting the mag. My mom, I should tell you....is a decorating genius. She's got the eye as they say. She'd be neck and neck in a Martha showdown if there ever was one. So when I told her that Martha had just taken over the Hallmark Channel as her own with tons of new shows...my Mom was thrilled! She's totally into it.
"Oooo I love watching her show" my mom said as her voice lit up! I said, "well...now there will be many shows all day similar to the Martha Stewart Living radio channel."
We laughed and she said she can't wait to check it out.
Anyways, I found the TV listing for Hallmark Channel in Woodstock, Il. Here it is:
60098 Search Results for Cable Providers
Comcast McHenry-New - Mchenry - Digital
Hallmark Channel 131
Hallmark Channel HD 321
It's the little things.
