Thanks for checking in to "What's Up With Jinni?" This site is the section of Hogg's Blog where I will post updates to what's going on with the cancer part of our lives.
For those of you who don't know, a weblog is an online journal with entries arranged in reverse chronological order. The first post about Jinni's cancer was on November 3 as shown on the calendar to the right of this and then subsequent ones follow.
Feel free to comment on any post by clicking on 'Got something to say?' Also, sign Jinni's guestbook. We'll all get through this together.
If you want to drop Jinni a note via email, her address is jthoggard@triad.rr.com

Of course I have read it before, but that was with the critical eye of a husband looking for mispellings and dangling participals. But reading it in the newspaper during my early morning solitude that I savor was a bit more, how should we say... emotive.
Read Jinni's Journal here, or better yet, go out and buy a copy of today's paper to get the full effect. I think it's the photo of her sitting on our front porch swing that got me. She is absolutely beautiful - but it's not her hair. I sure wish they had posted that picture for you to see.
Margaret M-B, I'm going to need some more copies.
*******************
Update: You've just got to love a weblog and the immediacy they bring to bear - or - I simply blogged earlier than the N&R's webmaster in charge of posting photos could get to work this morning. The paper's website added a link to "What's Up With Jinni" to the online story and the photo that adorns the print edition front page of today's Life section. Would also adding the picture of Jinni with Frank (one of our Rottweillers) be pushing it? Thought so. Thanks guys.

Jinni was contacted by the Greensboro News &Record to write a periodic column during her battle with breast cancer. Jinni hopes that her experiences will help others understand the process of getting through the disease. Online versions of her columns are below. Check back for updates.
