Time warp again
Coming out of post-surgery fog is so weird. I'm just starting to remember the last few days. One day, I passed out after lunch, then woke up at 6:30 thinking it was morning and why was Livvie up so early? Steven was like, "But Mom, it's the same day." I couldn't get my mind to …
Weird Cancer Guy…Dead!
This just in: The cancer did not spread! They found a couple of "residual" cancer cells, but chemo killed them. It's the best possible news I could have gotten. Now the word "journey" can be used to describe big hair band, Journey, instead of cancer. "Don't stop believin,'" ya'll.
Tom Petty was right!
"The waiting is the hardest part." All I remember about surgery is passing out after one of the nurses pulled the hospital "shower curtain" closed. What the? They were supposed to bring a hot intern to surgery. When I woke up, I was in an identical room with another shower curtain. I kept asking anyone …
Steven takes over
NOTE: Steven is writing this. We decided that since my mom is really tired and can't use her arms, that I would take over the blog for a bit. I remember that cold and rainy day in November when I was at my friend's house. My parents came to pick up my sister and me. …
Could it be…The end of Weird Cancer Guy?
Tomorrow is the big surgery day. Today, I got two radioactive dye injections right in the nipple! I wanted to scream like Steve Carell getting a full body wax in The 40 Year Old Virgin, but I didn't. Now I'm rockin' one radioactive boob. Tomorrow, they'll use a Geiger Counter to see if the cancer …
Look, no hands!
Just realized something. If I can't use my hands after surgery, I can't stuff food in my pie hole. This could be like the best diet ever! Happy to have me and my personality back with my family for a few more days. We're even going square dancing. Have a great weekend, ya'll!THREE POSITIVES:1- Excited …
Cancer’s a joke
Saying yes to help can be pretty uncomfortable. I didn't want to at first. But then I thought this is not just about me. We've got kids. Don't be a jackleg, yo. Let people help because they're our friends and they want to do something. One fundraising website, crafty fair and gigantic auction later, and …
Size matters
Why do I do this to myself? Sometimes a video of something will play in my head, and somehow it becomes the truth. To me. Then the kernel of a stupid truth stays in my head so long, I don't think to ask. In this case, it's about Barbie boobs. I've been walking around second …
The next thing
Surgery is one week away. Everyone has done so much for us and still, they're asking, "How can we help after surgery?" I've got our kids and dog taken care of, but not much else. This is the week to get organized. Sometimes you don't even know what you need help with or how things …
