MY NEW HAT

edited March 2014 in Breast Cancer #1
I went to Physical Therapy today for the lymphedema and the spasms it causes to my shoulder and hand. I have gone to this same PT site for several years now. Today they had a gal there making balloon creations to celebrate the incoming new year and to usher out a decade. The receptionist was wearing what I considered to be an awesome red white and blue balloon hat. I told her how cool I thought it was and how much I liked it, then on I went for my physical therapy. An hour later as I headed out she called to me, there in her hands was the hat you see me wearing in this photo. She is aware that I am a bc survivor and had a pink one made to honor my survivorship. I can't tell you how good it made me feel to get this little balloon crown, she said I was a Breast Cancer Survivor Princess and I must say I felt like one....she's the best! By the way I love, love, love it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Now, that's funny!
    I love the ballon-makers! Everytime I go someplace where someone is making ballon animals I ask them to pls make one for me. One year I even dressed up like a clown (and I don't even like clowns) for a fund-raiser and learned how to make simple (very simple) ballon animals. I only did it once, that was truly a moment of weakness when I agreed to that one!

    It's good to see that, even in difficut times, we can keep our sense of humor! However, I hope that you realize, now that we have all seen your very cool hat, that we will want one, too. :)

    I love the hat but love the story that goes with it even more!! It's comforting to read the stories that involve people that are truly sensitive to our journey. I love it and wear it with pride!!! Happy and healthy 2010 to you, too!

    Did you know if you wear a balloon hat at midnight on new years eve at the end of a decade that you will have blown up your good luck into huge proportions in the next decade? Ok, I just made that up but it's what I wish for you and everyone here.
