My dear friend who I posted about a few days ago (on social media) was rushed to hospital yesterday. She has cancer in her leg and spots lungs and has been having troubles walking. She has had 3 operations on her leg and was scheduled to have it removed next month.
Last night she was getting up to use her commode and fell shattering her femur. They are now rushing to do the amputation next week at the earliest. Cathy has been a mother to me from the time we moved into our place. And that is a funny story about how we met.
When we moved into our new place it was a quiet end road and the neighbours kept to ourselves. We were there for about 5 days when the police came and almost took our door off the hinges looking for the previous tenants. She happened to look out the window and see 2 police cars out front and she came over to see if everything was ok. She saw the kids playing in the police car and was worried. That was our introduction. We still joke about it to this day.
Cathy has grown to be like a mother to me and my wife, a grandmother to our children and a family friend. Cancer has been a bitch to our families as my wife lost her mother at 16, I've lost my grandfather to cancer and have lost several friends to this nasty disease.
I am not religious by any means but if you are please pray for my dear friend and all of those suffering from this nasty SOB.
We love you Cathy.
