So Sad
So I was sending out my Christmas cards yesterday to include the ones I needed to send from our Christmas list on CSN.

I quickly…

Yep, my date of a new scar is looming on the horizon. And yes, my name is WOMAN, so hell yes I'm vain. I'm thinking how great my tummy looks now (well, for the past few years of old age, I've been thinking otherwise, funny how cancer can change an attitude)and how I'm going to miss the "smoothness" of it. I do this surgery…

Jim had his CT scan Thursday, with the usual steroid prep and benadryl for his allergy to the dye along with IV fluids before and after the test. He is having 10 or more loose stools a day lately and he gets his 7th folfox Tuesday. Needless to say his bum is hurting! Is it typical for this to continue to get worse as the…

Then another group of people took that dance and turned it into what looks like a simple animation ... yet it is so beautiful. The…
