Welcome to my CaringBridge website. I am using it to keep family and friends updated on my cancer journey in one place. I so appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement and know that I am reading all of your messages but won't be responding to each and every one. Thank you for visiting.  NOTE: Go to Journal in the purple bar at the top to see the latest entry then click on "Read more Journal entries"  down below that and select "Oldest to Newest" at the top to see journal entries chronologically.

Journal entry by LIZ KIGGEN

We woke up to 2 inches of snow on the ground this morning with much more falling in the mountains. I hope it doesn't prevent anyone from going to the polls on this incredibly important election day.  The election I am sure is top of mind for everyone of you today as it is for us. We can only hope and pray there won't be any violence in our streets because of whatever the outcome is,  whenever that may be.  Our nation needs to heal.  It will take time, but hopefully we can eventually get to a much better place than we are at right now. 

I continue to make steady progress. The drains came out yesterday and I have been cleared to drive which feels like I have been given my life back.  I know I said in my last post that they weren't that bad but I came to see them as two large ticks attached to my chest and couldn't wait to get them off. LOL!  My energy level is still not up to par yet so I am extending my sick leave from work until next week (what was I thinking?) and I start PT next week as well for range of motion. 

It has been so great to hear from all of you, knowing you are all rooting for me. It means so much and really aids my own healing. We also really appreciate the fact that we received the perfect amount of food and supplies to see us through. Thank you all SO much. Sending love and peace. xo
