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)!

Why am I excited today?

This is going to be the craziest thing that I write.....I am excited for my Chemo tomorrow.  Here is my thinking...... I have decided that I will have very few symptoms and after it is over...my chemo is 1/2 over!  I'm going to bring one good fiction book that my sista Judy gave me called, Honeymoon.  Maybe I'll finish the whole book in the 4 1/2 hours of having my "Cocktail" - (that's BC lingo for Chemo juice, FYI).  If they give me the Benadryl again, than I can also be flexible and take a nice long nap underneath my heated blankets.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Other exciting news - Samantha is coming home today - she is going to seem very small in her Loft!  They've been letting her doggies get use to her smell by sniffing on some of her hospital items she's been wearing.  Scarlet is very curious and Cuba says in dog attitude...."Whatever, not my problem!" and moves away.

Can you see from this photo of my and my sisters, we have a lot of  musical talent?
Tonight I have band practice for an upcoming "gig" at a women's luncheon.  Ukulele practice with Judy and Sr. Leonette is guaranteed to be a lot of laughs.  We all love to play and sing together, and we must not care that we are truly are average or less.   We plan on practicing 3 times before our luncheon - these are supposed to be really nice, fun ladies we are playing for and they get to sing along.
