We’re at home and this is a picture of me with the fresh flowers that are still looking so good after almost a week. Home is sweet. You can tell I’m tired from catching up around here, but it’s starting to feel normal to be here. I’ve got to grind up chia seeds tonight before I go to bed. (My super food, you know.) Can you believe I was totally bald this time last year?
Today was sweet. We did our regular breakfast at Mr. B’s and lunch at the Mexican Restaurant with church in between. I visited some friends this afternoon while don watched football, so I enjoyed that.
I’ve got to get busy with the chia seeds; that’s tough on my back, so I’m not looking forward to it. I get to jiggle after I get done with that, though, so that’ll be good. The Jiggling George keeps me moving; without it my back would have me totally stopped. I really thank God for the Jiggler to help my back issues. My back issues have nothing to do with breast cancer. They are just part of me. I have spondylolisthesis (Google it.) and my bottom two vertebras are fused together (congenital), so my back complains when I stand on my feet for very long and plenty of other times, too. The Jiggler is the best thing since sliced bread for my back. These back issues are the reason that I opted NOT to have the tram flap reconstruction done. The tram flap tends to cause back pain in about 1 in 3 women who have it done. I didn’t want to have ANY chance of one more backache! I’m so glad I chose to forget reconstruction; I’m very content with a flat chest and the fake boobs.

Hello from Springville! I haven't sent a comment for awhile, knowing you are busy as a bee. But this morning after seeing your picture again, I just have to comment!! You look just stunningly Beautiful and first thing I thought of was, how long was it that you had no hair and now what a beautiful head of hair. Who wouldn't love to have hair like that but rather than go through what you have, I will keep what I have. ha Jane is in Hammond, Ind. for about 3 weeks and Ruthie and Phil are our standbys. They picked me up for church yesterday morning and took good care of me. Thank the Good Lord for them and for all our Family and Friends and for you keeping out spirits UP!! You and Don are an inspiration to us all.

Hello, Dot! I've sure missed you, so it's really good to get your comment! I'm so glad you like my hair. It's really a new thing for me, but I guess I'll get used to it. I look in the mirror and think I'm my mom. Actually Ruthie looks more like her than I do, but my hair makes me look like her, I think; esecially this length and with curl!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Ruthie and Phil can be there to be supportive to you. They love you and enjoy doing anything they can to help! They love being with you and are glad to stand in for Jane when she is gone. Yes, we thank the Good Lord for wonderful family and friends!
Thanks so much for writing. Take care and remember we love you!
