Saw the radiologist today
It’s been 3 months since I finished my chemo and my radiation treatment. I had my PET scan 2 days ago. Today I saw the radiologist to discuss the results. It appears that I am a textbook case. The radiation … Continue reading
Good and bad technicians
When I began my cancer journey…my trips to new doctors who sent me to new doctors who sent me for mri’s, cat scans, and PET scans…I was afraid. I was afraid they would not understand I have mobility issues and … Continue reading

Doctor report
It’s been almost a month since my last post. A lot has happened. I don’t share a lot about my mobility struggles and difficulties leaving the house to go to the doctor, but thought you could use a small update. … Continue reading

I hesitate to share really deep and personal things sometimes. I feel either they are so personal it is not something to pass around to just anyone. Or no one would be remotely interested, or…they are one of those TMI … Continue reading

I used to live my life binge eating. I grew up around relatives who liked to have piles of food for each meal and encourage us to ‘eat up’, ‘gotta stay strong’. I came from old German stock. There was … Continue reading
Political correctness
I just read a blog on political correctness. It wasn’t about politics, but about how people perceive who and what we are based on our words and the judgements they make. That got me to thinking. Are we responsible for … Continue reading

It’s odd how some days my emotional equilibrium is stable and some days I’m a basket case fighting frustration. I thought, foolishly that after menopause I would be more stable, but I guess every journey has its own stresses to … Continue reading
What If?
This is in response to the daily prompt http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/gone-with-the-windfall/. You just inherited $1,000,000 from an aunt you didn’t even know existed. What’s the first thing you buy (or otherwise use the money for)? I’ve played this game since I was … Continue reading
One day at a time
I was reading some blogs today and came across one that talked about just worrying about today. Funny how we look ahead and think but ‘what if?’ and ‘but what about this’ or ‘how am I going to handle that?’ … Continue reading
Change
Changes are inevitable. Sometimes they are gradual like progressing from a cane to a walker and then to a wheelchair. Sometimes they are sudden such as one day you are working and somewhat mobile and functional, and the next day, … Continue reading
