I Won!

I am now 12 years out from being told I have Stage 4 Metatastic Breast Cancer! Prayers of gratitude go out and up for this many times each day. Along with the gratitude, though, comes a weird sense of fear. I am not afraid of death, just how it's going to happen! Those headaches...is it because of the weather, or has it spread to my brain? The shits...was it something I ate or has it spread to my colon? The medicines we take for years after chemo and radiation come with their own side effects, limiting things we can do. Crazy things like getting osteoporosis from menopause and all the hormone blockers, so you take meds for that which then limits the dental work you can have done, and you get eczema, too. BUT...I am breathing! I woke up today! I can go out and do something if I want to, and will still try to be home by 1:00 to watch General Hospital! I can still tell people to "fuck off" if that's what I'm feeling, and that brings me much joy! I am grateful!!!

Is it the computers I hate, or the fact that my brain doesn't seem to work that way? How is it that brains work differently? Wait...that's a good thing these days. There are a lot of sick people out there so I'm glad we don't all have that brain. I think/hope we're starting to get out of the "I'm offended" stage of things. That's awesome! The world doesn't revolve around any single one of us. It still seems, though, that we are forgetting to laugh! Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest comedians out there these days, in my opinion. He's blunt and just comes out and says it! Some get all pissed off and try to "cancel" him, and he laughs them off! Good for him! His series "After Life" on Netflix is fabulous. It shows...
