Sleep

It’s like that Christmas morning feeling when you can hardly wait to get up except today there’s no tree, no presents and thank God I don’t have to cook a turkey.

Still many thought ramble around my head and I have a need to get them out. So, today is my last day of work. I know there are many of you thinking “What is she worrying about work for…it will all get done…worry about yourself.” I know, I know, I know. But still, I feel sorry for Sandy P. or Sandra C. who will have to listen to me ramble on this afternoon about reports and things that have to get done. I have about 2 weeks of training to get out in a matter of 2 hours. Meetings to cancel. So how do I word that one? Sorry I can’t meet with you next week but I’m having surgery on Tuesday to remove Breast Cancer…someone will get back to you. I know I’ll figure it out.

There’s the stuff that I want to take care of at home too. I was supposed to get my hair cut on Tuesday…guess that’s not happening. I have asked Steve to tell Elias that he’ll have his work cut out for him when I see him again.

I must go to Costco this weekend. Bulk is good. I thought I would do Steve a favour by buying the mega box of tampons so he didn’t have to buy them for me. He thought that was a good idea too.

I guess I won’t be collecting my winnings from the office Survivor Pool but I will be back. For now I’ll be sitting on the sidelines with Mel and Ab..but who knows what Survivor shake-up could happen next.

Well, I think I’ll get the prescription for sleeping pills filled today so my thoughts can at least wait until the morning.

You are an inspiration - who knew someone like you - so laid back, so calm - and like you say - so detailed - would be so funny in her writing abilities! You make me laugh - I hope I can do the same for you. I know all your friends have gone home and checked themselves - whether we wanted to or not, and I did not. It has taken me 2 weeks to work my way to checking both my breasts which Joe offered to do many times in a much quicker - grabbier manner. Given the size of me (AA)it should have taken all of 3 seconds. Maybe Steve could give us all some of those "how to" flyers? I'm so glad you have done this website, and when it's all over - you can publish your own book! All our thoughts and prayers will be with you Tuesday. Lorraine

I will think about you everytime I walk down the hall to leave until you come back and when you do, I am going to give you a huge hug!
It is so great to hear how stong you are! You are an inspiration to all. You have a ton of supporters at Western.
Drew & I are praying for you and that Tuesday goes really well and that the chemo goes well too!
Love your hall buddy!
