    I'm with you on that one, Sassy. Too many lessons learned this past year, will not elaborate on this fun thread. Maybe we can skip class together.

    Yeah a crash course in breast cancer and breast reconstruction wasn't in my plans! It is what it is.

    Sas, you gone through way too much.

    I am with you Sas. When my DH said back in 2006 -" will you quit that damn job.".. and I said, "do you really mean it??" DH replied "YEP! I would rather you be home with our three daughters (6,11,12 -oldest being MR autistic deaf and lots of work)." I threw my badge and letter on the managers desk and never looked back. I thought YAY I never have to smell another alcohol square again or see the inside of a hospital... no more working holidays and weird hours!!! (Not that being a mother to three kids isn't WORK but at least then I just had one job - not 2!!)

    Then not even a year later, the day after Christmas I got sacked with stage 3A BC back into more medical care then I have ever had... then stage 4 and life long. I hate it. I do not feel grateful... it pisses me off. I so wanted to ditch the whole medical everything and be FREE not to think about any of it. Just get old and play in my garden with my pets and be a Mom. Then my oldest kid got end stage liver failure and my other kid a bipolar diagnosis (the joys of adoption where you have zero to go on for family medical hx). OY!! Back to the books... reading internet articles and books on subjects I NEVER thought about before. It just doesn't end... What a stinkin jip - I retired!!! Grrrrrr... ok rant over. Just thought I should add my middle kid is doing great! My liver failure kid is stable and doing well with medical management and new meds for mood disorders are insanely expensive and work really well! I got my daughter back! So I am grateful for that - but not cancer. cancer sucks.

    We are going to go see the movie into the Woods.. Smile Fantasy yay!!!

    Julie the upside is I'm walking , talking , thinking, moving, able to sit (that was an issue for about 4 months). So, there were a lot of lessons I would rather have just read about and not live through, but they are history today---except the thyroid issues. So, on to a better year YAY.
