My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

My message to all....don't put off your mammogram -it hurts so good!

I hope this blog serves as a message board -that early detection is the hope for your future. Pull up your big girl panties - and get your girls checked out. Make an appointment today-(you know who you are).

I also want to document my "Journey on the Pink Brick Road" - because I don't want to forget a minute of it (I think) and I have heard from others that "Chemo Brain" or "Monkey Brain" is the result of the medication that is used to shrink my tumor. I have seen this already - so it will help me to remember where I parked my car yesterday and why was I even parking "there".

So hold my hand and I will hold yours on my journey on the Pink Brick Road (this definitely doesn't look like Kansas)!

Black Friday Causing Stress

One of the benefits for me of blogging is to tell my story and add real life to my breast cancer journey, so when I look back on this time - I will see it was day to day, step by step events and "WHA-LA" the turtle crosses the FINISH line with a tired by happy grin! (i'm the turtle).

Thanksgiving Day was power packed with Family Fun - mixed with two new grandbabies to cuddle and pass around - We took our turkey dinner to Melissa and Jeff - and filled their hospital room with the awesome smell of Turkey Day.  Great Grandpa Bob got to hold Sammie - and get a nice 4 generation picture of baby, dad, grandpa and Great Grandpa.  Priceless!  Quote from GGBob,  "Take it before it cries."  I'm going to guess those words may have been said a few times raising the seven of his children!

Now today is black Friday, and all the TV hype has caused me more stress than my Chemo Treatments!  Living across the street from Walmart's parking lot - adds to further document what TV is telling us - GET OUT THERE AND SPEND MONEY FAST AND FURIOUSLY!  No, NOW!  After I take a little pill to calm me down and make my sails sail smoothly, I'm going to settle in to home crafts - making two twin bedspread from a queen for my bunks - and possible going to knitting store for help with a scarf that I have the yarn, but need a little help with the instructions.  I'm feeling calmer already - Be Safe out there Shoppers, and I do like the campaign - Shop Small on Saturday to support small businesses - looking for a Small Ice Cream Shop!Publish Post
