I don't get headaches....I give them.

I forgot to mention at my last oncologist appointment Dr Yoda asked me if I had any abnormal pains, back, kidney, head ache?  I told him, "I don't get headaches, I give them."  He chuckled (which is rare, he doesn't get my humor) and asked me what I did for a living.  I told him I sold ammunition and reloading supplies. He was surprised by that and said, "oh, I thought you were a lawyer!"  In the words of Pretty Woman, the movie....do I have that sharp, useless look about me that he would think I am a lawyer???  Stranger things have happened.

Good as Gold!

Got my 3 month check up last Monday and I was as good as gold!  Well since the price of gold always fluctuates, let's just say I am better than gold this time!  Like cancer, things do fluctuate so I take it one day at a time and am thankful for good check ups.  I now have a check-up every 6 months which is huge in the cancer world!  I did get a flu shot while I was there and I am not going to lie....they put me in the chemo room to get my shot and it was like deja vu....and I was not so sure I was not going to have a slight panic attack.  The same sights and smells...people getting chemo or blood transfusions or dialysis.  All that came back and smacked me in the face.  The same nurses that I once relied on to take care of me were there and asking how I was doing.  Thank goodness the flu shot did not last long or I would have been a mess. Pretty sure that is why it scares the CRAP out of me that I might one day have to do it again.  God willing, I won't need to and being positive and praying are my go-to's on any given day.  So each day I get closer to that 5 year mark and breath a little better and hold tight to my family and friends.  Live and love each day to the fullest my friends!
