    I'm home.

    It's been a day of ups & downs.

    I'm an emotional animal.

    Just when I was having a major melt-down, I looked over my shoulder to see the devastation in Haiti and my tears stopped.

    Perspective.

    They're boobs.

    They're gone.

    I'll adjust in time.

    Today is the first day of 'time.'

    What a gorgous flower-close up.

    Love to each and every one of you.

    I slept straight thru for four hours and then have found myself wide awake.

    Today will include a series of snoozing naps.

    I feel such a delcious sense of peace this morning.

    Still throbbing and itching to beat-the-band, have yet to poop (TMI????) but I am soooooo happy.

    And that's before I remember to take my happy pill.

    A whole new chapter is at hand.

    I am so fortunate.

    I have all of you to carry me when I get tired.

    Ok Faith my one bit of stern talking .....DO NOT EVER negate or put aside your own worries or grief or sorrow as not important as someone else's.

    Now that I said that...gentle hugs

    Wow what amazing pictures today!!! I think I want to get a new camera and start snapping away.

    Maui in about 12 days Cool

    I am going to see my daughter for 3 weeks in May who lives in Oahu Island.

    After I see my oncologist on March 1st, if everything is normal I'm buying the ticket.

    Say a little prayer for me. Me and my daughter were planning a vacation May 2005, we always wait until we got a good price. and I got the bad news. I always get uneasy when I plan something.

    Thank you for listening.

    DD brought over a video that I'm going to devote the afternoon to.............

    home nurse stopped this morning.

    she said I looked "peak-ed"

    i told her that was nonsense because i felt simply vibrant.

    she laughed at me and reminded me that peaked is a good thing for someone just outtta surgery.
