“Free at last, free at last, Thank God Almighty we are free at last.” – Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

They got it.  The doctors got it.  They got all the Melanoma out of my mom’s leg.  The doctors called to tell her there is nothing left.  And it didn’t spread to the lymph nodes either.  They got it out before it spread.

Thank God Almighty.

I don’t know what they intend to do now.  What other treatments they have planned.  Right now though, she is just recovering from the surgery.  They peeled her leg open like a clam shell to dig it all out, and then sealed it back together with sterile tape designed to hold it together as the skin heals.  If all goes according to plan, she should be good again soon.  A few days.  A week or two.  She can walk now, just not much.  They told her to give it a rest so it doesn’t rip open on her.

Barring complications though, they got it out in time.  And now she just has to heal from getting her leg carved open.

Thank God Almighty they got it all.

And thank you to everyone who prayed or gave us good thoughts or anything.  Thank you for taking time out of your day to think about my mom and give her your best wishes.

Thank you.
