Just When You Think Everything is Fine...Well, YoiuKnow

"Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” ~

Beyond Words: Daily Readings in the ABC's of Faith


Six months ago, it somehow escaped my attention that another mass was noted in the remaining breast.  Imagine my surprise when I was summoned for another CT scan a couple of months ago (at the six month point).  I was in such denial (ahhh...love denial) I wasn't even anxious about it; I thought they'd accidentally scheduled the annual exam a little early.  Let me reiterate:  I love denial.  So liberating.

Cutting to the chase, it looks like everything is fine.  We'll have another look-see in September.  My official position is that I'm not afraid until they are.

But then, there's the massive radiation to my left side.  That scares me a little.

I guess the blog is up and running again.  To any of you who are there, thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more.

Surgery on Monday

Today is the last day I'll be at my trusty computer for a week or so. Maybe longer, depending on how much pain there is. I don't have much to say, anyway, because my mind is very preoccupied with Monday. I'm sure all will be well, but I'm so tired of pain. There's nothing to be done for it, though, other than enduring it. Enduring is something I learned very early. I'm going to be fine.
