Get Well Soon

My mom is in the hospital.  She is recuperating from surgery to remove the area all around a melanoma on the top of her foot.  She seems to be in good spirits and not in any pain (yet), but the surgeons dug a big hole in her foot and patched it together with a skin graft from her thigh.  So, she will be in the hospital for a while while everything heals.  Mom is not allowed to bend her leg or get out of bed, and it might be a long haul before she gets to put weight on the foot again.

The good news is that all the tests show that the cancer did not spread to her lymph system or any internal organs.  But it was a nasty virulent melanoma - started out as a mole on her foot which started growing rapidly in the last few months.  Thank goodness it caught a doctor's eye as suspicious during one of her regular check-ups. 

I whipped up a card last night inspired by a card designed by Mary McAskill that I saw in an old issue of Scrapbook Trends.  It uses older paper by Carolee's Creations, a gorgeous Prima flower, bit of lace and a wonderful Inkadinkado stamp.
