Hi. It's Anna here.
Annie asked me to come on today and post the video below. It's a song she heard on the radio on the way to the hospital the other day. I don't even think she knows that the video is of a flashmob dancing to the song. But how appropriate is that?!!! I know she has been so touched by all of your lovely comments, and I'm now picturing us as part of a supportive 'blogmob' that is holding her close. Perhaps not in bikini tops though.
She received her results yesterday and will be going to the hospital today to have a full mastectomy of her left breast this afternoon. It has been an overwhelming fortnight and she knows this is just the beginning.
Thanks again for all the kind words and prayers you have sent her way. Do keep sending them. I'm sure Annie will be back here as soon as she can (even at the hospital yesterday she said so many funny things happened that she can't wait to blog about!) and I'll keep you in touch in the meantime.
Anna

A blogmob! Love it Anna. I'm proud to be a member. And you know what we'll all be singing now today as we dance around, kicking our feet with the rainbow painted toenails as high as we can. I'll skip the bikini top for sure, but the holding her close part, that bit I'm doing x
ReplyDeleteGood luck Annie. Will be keeping you in my thoughts today.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that is so all of us ( except for the very short shorts) I think of us all as a big mosh of Annie followers rushing out to buy rainbow nail polish and bopping around in a supportive fashion. Wish her the best for today. melx
ReplyDeleteI've just bought five bottles of nail polish.
ReplyDeleteThe chemist near the Ashgrove Coles has bucket loads of colours for only $1.75!

ReplyDeleteYou've been in my mind and heart all day Annie.
ReplyDeleteNow even my toes are thinking of you.
Thinking of you today, Annie. I dug out some nail polish and did the twins' and my toes. Just red and purple, though, that's all I could find. I was pleased to see so many like minded folk and toes while blog hopping tonight. Wishing you all the best (I know it sounds so trite, but I really do).
ReplyDeleteSending happy healthy crafty multi-coloured vibes all the way from Melbourne!
ReplyDeleteHopping over from Knitsofacto ... rainbow toes and good wishes from sunny UK.
ReplyDeleteYour song choices are always so perfect. Everything's going to be alright for sure. Hugs, hugs and more hugs to you and yours. xx
ReplyDeleteAnd I've bounded in from Knitsofacto too to give Annie a huge hug all the way from France where the sun is shining for her.

Hi Annie and thanks Anna for posting this blog. The support that is happening for Annie through this blog world is wonderful and the thought of everyone getting around with rainbow toes is beautiful, as is Annie. Hope they got it all. xx
ReplyDeleteLoving the song, loving the sentiment, loving rainbow coloured toes. You, and your beautiful tribe, are in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGeorgie
Thanks Anna for continuing this marvellous blog by a wonderful woman.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pleasure to be part of the mob.
Prayers zipping forth.
Oh, to be able to dance like that.
Bye bye Lefty.
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteI'm part of the "inner circle" that had the privilege of being there to support annie at the hospital yesterday. Her spirit is so strong, her sense humour so abundant, but she is human and hence, scared. Like Anna said, this is just the beginning of the journey of a lifetime. I'll pass on your words of support when I see her later today. I'm sure they will help her. Thank you so much.
