Another Day

Some days i don't even feel like being with myself. I don't want or need company of another human. I do like to spend time with my dog. There's a world of difference between being lonely and alone. Sometimes I am better off with my own company,
There are days when I enjoy my quiet time too but those are not often.
This is my snugglemutt. Her name is Emma she is 1.5years old. I wasn't so sure at first if we were going to get along. I adopted her when she was about 3 months old.
This is the first thing I see every morning . She makes very expressive faces and can be emotional..I wasn't sure I was ready for another dog. Previously I had a dog named Chico who died of cancer. I had finished my treatment when we adopted her by I was still feeling side effects and also grieving the loss of Chico. Like I said I was afraid at first I would not bond with her.Cancer treatment made me forgetful, more so that I usually am. It made me exhausted. Puppies while adorable can be wild too.

Damn insurance, tomorrow I rally.( I may be screwed!)

I don't know who else is going through cancer treatment, or is just beginning worried about what their treatment will be. How awful will it be. I can not tell you what you will go through . but I will say you are going to need a team of doctors. Let me see I have 5 ,for my breast cancer. They are all affiliated with the hospital closest to my home , and I tell you that was so convenient when I had to travel back and forth especially for my 34 daily radiation treatments.  It was already tiresome, I could not imagine having to drive to a further treatment center! Tomorrow I am going to that same hospital , and though the bulk of my treatment is over, I still see all the doctors affiliated with it. I am not however going for treatment. I am going for a rally, which sounds like a fun word , but it is really more of a protest. You see these 5 doctors work together to get me the best care, the best individual treatment program they could plan for me. Let me say one thing first, I have ...

What impressed me was how quickly she could improve her reading skills . She seemed to have a bit of trouble in the beginning of the school ...

Radiation for Breast cancer after reconstruction. ROCK Hard Breast.

When you are diagnosed with breast cancer a lot of thoughts go through your head. My first thought was I want to fight this disease. I want more time to spend with my granddaughter. I was concerned she would not remember me, which made me feel so sad. My daughters never really had their grandparents. When My surgeons suggested there  was an easy way and a harder way to do reconstruction , I went all in saying , "EASY WAY". Had I known then what I know now , the answer would likely have been different Damn, I should of known better. Things don't usually go the easy way for me , ever. I do not think I knew I was going to have radiation when I spoke with my breast surgeon or the plastic surgeon doing the surgery. I never had many questions, looking back I should have. ALL I kept thinking was I can not get this surgery over soon enough and begin my recovery. I am still optimistic about my cancer not returning, but I wish I knew more about the side effects . I had the sur...
