The good news is in and I'll start with it. I have my pathology report and it looks like everything is good. No evidence of invasive carcinoma! Woo hoo!! I go for my official follow up tomorrow but at least I know that I don't have cancer. The bad news is that I have moved …
Rescue
I'm four days out from surgery and still feeling quite sore. I didn't expect things to feel quite like this. I really didn't think I would be hurting this bad for this long. But, here I am, in the pre-dawn hours of a misty Sunday morning with a throbbing bottom and a love-hate relationship with …
The Sitz Bath Chronicles
As a mother who had her babies via c-section, I was not familiar with the concept of a Sitz bath. I knew what it was but had just never participated. That was until about 3:30 a.m. when I pooped razors. Not literally, of course, but close enough. In my infinite wisdom, I thought that a …
Razors
Well today was the day for the removal of the rest of the demon polyp. I joked with the nurses about having my official “pain in the ass diagnosis.” I guess if I have to have an official diagnosis then I need a crown. Any reason to be a queen. I want a bedazzled set …
What Matters?
When I was in college, I had dreams of becoming a high powered attorney living in a big city with a big house, a fancy car, and the perfect life. While I was at my part time, minimum wage job, I would daydream of the day I could look around me and see my dreams …
Thankful in All Seasons
My grandmother was influential in my faith from as far back as I can remember. As soon as I learned to read, she would have me read Bible verses to her. The old King James Version didn’t make much sense to me then. I didn’t clearly understand the words in red much less why they …
Worthy
This blog post is for every person, man or woman, who has ever doubted their worth. Most of us have doubted that we are good enough at one point or another in our lives. At some point, we’ve expressed this feeling and have been met with supportive responses like “how could you ever doubt your …
Pain in the Butt
I don’t know how to even begin this. Plenty of people say that I’m a pain in the butt. Now I have a diagnosis to prove it. My colonoscopy has hopefully saved my life. When I went for my follow up from the colonoscopy, I felt like something was wrong. I knew my experience with …
Toenails
What an intriguing title for a blog. Curiosity just forced you to read this because you probably can’t imagine what is going to come out of my mouth. (Keyboard to be more exact but you know what I mean.) Those who know me personally know how much I love getting my nails done and know …
Tender in a Tough World
Most people don’t know the real me. I hide her away because she’s easily bruised and broken. She’s tender in a tough world. I have been blessed, or cursed, with eyes that see the world a little differently than most. I see deeply and I feel things deeper. With these eyes that see things deeper …
