Moving On......After the Flap

The name of my band is Black Jujubes - LOL!

Liefie- great pictures of that precious baby and your 50's party. I see so much joy in your face.

I am in Chicago for my final appointment with Dr. Massey tomorrow. It is bittersweet, but can you say CLOSURE! You will all be there in no time at all.

I am looking out my hotel window and it is breathtaking. I will try to add the picture of this. 

I did it!!!

Cherrie:  This one is for you!!!  Now, you just get to living life and the joys of being who you are!!  Love, Kat

Blue curlywurly is the name of my band.

Just got back from an annual wine tour in the Niagara wine region.  One of my dear friends that I met  years ago training for our weekend walk to end cancer, is a two year FBC survivor and does an annual wine tour as a fundraising event. She always has a waiting list for seats, as she does such a great job.   It was a gorgeous day here for the tour and I picked up a Cadbury curlywurly in the Scottish store in Niagara-on-lake.  Chocolate trumps wine any day in my books:)

FBB - if there is still room, I'm jumping in your pockets for tomorrow and Tuesday.  Sending positive vibes for clean scans, negative test results, etc.

Cherrie - congrats on being done!

Lots of wonderful pictures  - Emily is a little sweetie.

Liefie, that is wonderful to look forward to. Lucky you. I turn 60 in October. Alt of us are close in age. 

Thanks Kat. 

Hope you feel better soon Jeannie. Stay in your Jammie's and drink tea and eat chicken noodle soup.

yay Cherri! 

Ridley there is always room!

No-pants Java.  Still in nightgown, lazy morning.

BB- the bittersweet part was the connection I have with my PS.  She is such a good listener, compassionate, and warm. We gave each other a big hug after pictures together. Her passion for women who have breast cancer/lymphedema amazes me. As far as being done though, TOWANDA!! Now onward I shall go.

I was lying in my yoga class tonight thinking of 'No-pant Java' and trying not to laugh. 

Shoot, Nihahi, we are a pair.

I'm trying to figure out how to get down to California in May to at least help my folks a little in their move to San Diego. They are thinking the move is the right thing to do---yay! I can't do that much with these finicky arms and I still feel I could freak out  while there for various reasons....but at least I may be able to postpone my colonoscopy! There is always a silver lining, haha.

Khaki pizza.

We've been a quiet bunch!  The visit to the oncologist went fine, no big news.  I'll have my yearly CT/PET later in May.  I'm hot and cold about those darn things.  One the one hand, it puts my mind to rest about all the twinges, aches, and itches I've experienced over the last year.  On the OTHER hand, my mind goes to a place where my MO calls and says "we need to talk..."  Urgh.  Oh well...like everything else in the FBC experience, I will just buck up, shut up, and get it over with.

And now, a glimpse of my beautiful pink tornado!

Sbe, I guess I could have written the same words for you... Just replace "woman" with "beautiful girl"!!!

Cherrie, you look wonderful. What a milestone, and so special you got a pic with her! I'm seeing my PS for the last time on May 8, and will ask for a photo too. She was the beacon of light that kept me going, and made me whole.

Aubrey sure has a mischievous look on that cute little face. Pink tornado - LOL!

All those of you with check-ups and drs appointments looming, all the best to you. I guess none of us will ever go to see a dr again without thinking those thoughts . . . just part of our new reality. We are strong, and we can do it.
