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)!

Dylan-isms

I spend a lot of time on Skype staying in touch with my grandkids in Beijing - and Dylan who is 9 years old, always has the most amazing things that he says.  I always wish I was recording him - but here are just a few of his thoughts from this week

I revealed my shaved head to them - and then put on Meredith and used a Mrs. Doubtfire voice - "Hello, Children" - he said, "That is so cool that you can have fake hair.  I want one so it can cover my bad hair cuts."

He also said, "I'm so glad you have some hair (I'm not bald yet, but it is not far off.).  I'm sure he'll probably think my bald head is cool too.

Then I told him that I can wear the wig or wear a scarf or a baseball cap or just go with my short hair.  I said they are all optional.  Well the word optional triggered this in his brain -" I HATE OPTIONAL, whenever a parent is told something is optional it ends up in my backpack and it gets so heavy!"  LOL to his thinking.

Then he asked what are we going to do to celebrate Grandpa Bob's 85th birthday on the 19th of November - and he actually said that whole sentence.  I started to say that JOANNE is going to have a dinner for him and his friends at her house......and he interrupted and excited exclaimed...."JOANNE IS THE KING OF THE FAMILY!"  He thinks she is amazing!  He always cracks me up with his deep thinking and wise answers!

Enjoy your Saturday - just got one of my guest beds ready for my Chinese family in December -- (I gave them a touch of the bed comfort like I gave myself...hope they enjoy it when they are here!
