Tail End of May
Aquarius vs. Cancer

Every flower that blooms has to go through a whole lot of Dirt. I decided that I would attempt a taper on my, not so nice to me, DEX. I’m quite sure I have mentioned how much I dislike this drug. All the false energy dashing through my body; leaving a streak of grumpy achy cells as it passes by. A day after I said goodbye to my filthy steroids, SW was taking my body back to my care center. Yup, my left ankle became Super-Sized. Hum. Is this a good thing? A bad thing? Or just a thing? Walking away from the Diagnostic Imaging check-in desk to plop down next to SW, I abruptly stop in ..read more

Life Isn’t Perfect

Life isn’t perfect, but love doesn’t care. Going out to breakfast at one of our favorite neighborhood spots called Gravy, I’m prepared to order my usual dishes to fill my belly – a warmed biscuit smothered in sausage gravy and one bowl of sweetened oatmeal topped with scrumptious fresh fruit. Yum! Yum! When our server arrives I go out on a limb, ditch the traditional Kim order and request Brioche French toast. Also, a never ending supply of coffee and cream. A perfect combination for today! Today, May 11th, life is different in a good sort of way. My delightful other half, SW, gave me t ..read more

Toothpicks

Make today a day for the fancy toothpicks. I logged in lots of MRI scan time Monday and Tuesday this week. Monday’s scan involved Iron Infusion contrast, an oxygen monitor and, don’t forget, a heart rate monitor. I was all dressed up with only one place to go! I totaled about 160 minutes in a not so friendly MRI chamber. Exhausting. I got through it all and I wonder is this really worth it? I got a MyChart message from my neck up oncologist, Doctor A. For the most part we have found a way to work together as long as I am kept current on brain spots. Are they growing, shrinking, or holdi ..read more

How Do Friends Treat You?

There’s no problem that friends cannot confront, combat, plot against, ignore, make fun of, drown in chocolate sauce or run over with the car. Years ago I had a cancer therapist who warned me of friends who would be there for me; then one day, poof, they might be gone. Not my friends! I wanted to scream. However, that sad little saying might just be true. My gang of pals has come, gone, shifted, evolved, changed and some friends, SW says, “Have turned into comets.” Here today, gone the next and may not be seen for another 75 years! I do what I am able to reach out. It is not easy for me ..read more

A New Book, A New Day
Aquarius vs. Cancer

Sometimes you just gotta go all out and put two sugars in your coffee. I adore warm silky, smooth coffee. Today my fan favorite is Hair Bender by PDX company Stumptown. It tis divine! I don’t add sugar to this brewed blend of tasty goodness, but I do add lots, lots, and more lots of half and half. It keeps me going through most of my AM. This week it was suggested I listen to an Oregon Public Broadcast (OPB) radio interview with Sallie Tisdale. From my perspective this interview was good. The topic, a little sad, was still worth broadcasting on my iPhone. A 50-minute segment took me 2-days to ..read more
