I can’t guarantee I’ll continue to blog during the next
couple of weeks, but I will if I remember and I have something to
say/share—like a good picture. I mean, I’ll be in Southern
California . I’m sure I’ll have lots of good pictures!
Now here’s hoping the flight doesn’t mess with my hearing. I
really hate flying because of that (it HURTS when the plane descends), but it’s
just too far to drive this time around.
So… Yesterday I saw my surgeon. Yes, I need more surgery.
But… it doesn’t have anything to do with the cancer. He got all of that and the
margins were great (yay!). The area that is giving me problems is an area that
could develop into cancer. Apparently, “the book” requires a larger margin for
that than the cancer and it’s not known if radiation will get/kill it all. Since
the surgery isn’t as long (about a 15-minute procedure) and I won’t need to be
completely out (like I was before), it made the decision to go with another
surgery a lot easier to make.
Besides, Hubby pretty much said I need to do whatever it
takes for me to still be around when he turns 80. J
That means I’ll have surgery after I get back from my trip
(Nov 6), and radiation will be pushed into mid December provided I don’t need
chemo. Now, my lymph nodes all came back clear (yay!!), but there’s another
test that’s being run to determine if I have some gene that indicates I have a
higher chance of reoccurrence. I find out that answer on Nov 27th. Hopefully
the answer comes back NO. I really do not want chemo (but I’ll do it for Hubby
if needed).
Okay, enough of that depressing stuff. Here’s something fun.
I got a question from Goodreads (in the Ask an Author section), to write a
two-sentence horror story. After thinking for a bit, this is what I wrote:
She walked into the garage and the
spider taunted her as it sat blocking her way to the car. But after smushing
the nasty arachnid, like she had done to all the others, millions more rained
down upon her head in retaliation.
Was that horror enough for you? It certainly was for me! I
hate spiders!!!
So… Are you having a second summer this week? I was all set
for moderate temps back home only to find it’ll be close to 100! Yikes!! That
is definitely NOT fall weather for Southern California .
Happy Friday!

Well, that sounds like good news overall, even if there is more surgery on the horizon. But never mind that for now, enjoy the heck out of your vacation! Nice job on the story. Spiders are awesome and helpful, and some are quite pretty to look at, but they do creep me out. We had frost and sub-freezing temperatures Monday and Tuesday morning; this weekend it's going to push 70 in the day and no lower than 50 or so at night--I'll take it! Have fun!
At least the surgery isn't major. Get it done and take care of everything.
Safe travels! I don't like flying either, but that would be a really long drive.
Well, if you have to have surgery, at least it's minimally invasive.
Enjoy that trip and forget about your troubles for a while.
Glad to read that the surgery won't be major, still a lot ahead of you and I love the support your hubby gives you. Love it.
Glad to see the good news, and hope the surgery goes well. Have fun on your vacation!
And yes, spiders are creepy. :)
Jeff - Spiders will NEVER be pretty! Ugh!!!!! :)
Alex - I lucked out. Flight wasn't so bad and I could hear after landing! :)
Maria - Doing my best to forget about anything but this lovely vacation.
Ivy - Yeah, I lucked out in the Hubby dept. :)
Jennette - Creepy, creepy, creepy!! :)
Omgosh, yes, that is horror.
And so is that cancer. At least you know what needs to be done and are doing it.
Happy travels!
Erin - Regarding horror: I followed Stephen King's advice and wrote what would creep me out. Just wasn't sure I could do it in 2 sentences, though. Thanks!
