All that seems to follow is sadness this month.
I could give two shits about the death of the celebs. Yes there’s been many in the past weeks, which is very odd… but its just been pouring when it comes to my loved ones.
My sister in law has been diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. The prognosis is good, they caught it in time. But she will have to go through Chemo. She just had her first treatment yesterday. As tough as it may be she’s been documenting this via facebook photos. I admire her courage, strength and humor. I don’t know what I would do or how I would feel if it had happened to me and I had two young children.
Although going through the chemo and such isn’t a great thing, I’m happy that she will be off from work for the summer. She’s a nurse and she was doing school and working her ass off. She really was running herself down. And I think this would be a good break for her. Yes she will be exhausted from chemo, but at least she can rest comfortably in her home with her kids and try to enjoy this beautiful weather. Thinking about what’s happening makes me start to cry. So ill end this update for now. Like I said, things are good. She is going strong, and I have nothing but love and positive vibes to send her way. I have no doubts. She will win this war.
Bri’s younger brother had to get a testicle removed. There was a large mass, so large that the doctors doubted that it was NOT cancerous. They couldn’t waste any time and it was removed last week. I know that this will be hard for him for awhile. But Brian’s been there with humorous words of encouragement, “At least your still alive. At least you’ve got ONE nut.” I couldn’t agree more.. I just hope that for right now there will be no other surprises.
I’m worried for Bri bc cancer seems to run in his family. Once he gets his medical I want him to get a complete checkup. Just so I won’t have to worry for the moment.
As for my side of the fam, They will be leaving me soon. They’ll be all the way on the other side of the country. There are times where I don’t want this to happen, but then I think about the opportunities for them. It seems like this will be a better fit. My mom is nervous and she needs me to tell her its gunna be ok right now. So I’ll wait until they are settled before I have my crying moment. Lol. I’m trying to think about the positives. A new place to visit. We can drive from there to Cali, which I think is awesome. Shes already got a job and found some really nice places to live. Bri’s Dad lives there so we will have his fam to visit. It’s all about the positivity.
Suing the owner of the parking lot for my broken foot. Sweet sweet. I know I might have bad luck at times, but it seems to always work out in my favor. Don’t ask man. I’m just thanking my lucky stars.
I’m doing half days with the boot right now. I tried to do the treadmill but it was too soon. When its too cold in my apt it hurts. Feels kinda like arthritis. It hurts in the morning for about a half hour and hurts when I come home from work. But I’m suppose to use it, so I’m sure it will be ok. probably just getting use to being used again.
All in all, this summer has been pretty bitchin thus far. Been spending time with friends I haven’t seen in a while and have made a few new ones. Every weekend seems to be booked. I had forgotten what it was like to have so much to do. Not complaining….im totally diggin it. Rock on.
