I have been busy lately with a new puppy, and medical appointments. Selene is doing well though she has more of the temperament of a chihuahua than the Shihtzu. Puppy training is hard. Even the trainer said the smaller breeds are harder to train by virtue of their size. She can be an angel orContinue reading “Something Needs To Change”

Me, the World, and Everything Else
The world or at least this country is fubarred. Right-winged super legislators have taken over the Supreme Court. They have officially turned women into 2nd class nothings who can’t handle decisions about their own bodies. We are quickly becoming a male-dominated, theocratic autocracy. What else? The EPA has no right to do its job regulatingContinue reading “Me, the World, and Everything Else”

WOW, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE
It has been a long while since I have felt good. Whether it has been the cancer (more on that later), the mental health issues or the chronic physical issues and the chronic pain, It has been dealing with the medical establishment. None of these things are easy to deal with alone, but when youContinue reading “WOW, IT HAS BEEN A WHILE”
The Countdown Continues
A day and a half to go before surgery. I feel fine. I’ve never felt sick. I feel tired, but that could be because I don’t sleep well. I’ve had bad teeth since I was a kid. We never had good medical or dental care. It seemed an afterthought for my parents, so dental careContinue reading “The Countdown Continues”
COUNTDOWN
It’s been a long couple of weeks. Since last writing, the first step I took was a PET scan. This test lights up areas of concern. In my case, they were looking for the origins of the cancer they found in the lymph nodes in my neck. And it did. After that test I went and metContinue reading “COUNTDOWN”
THIS WEEK IN ALEXX
When I left you, I waiting on information from Mayo for my next steps. I kept busy while waiting. I had an eye appointment for new glasses. (I know, boring.) But I learned that cancer treatments can affect the eyes. I also ordered new glasses. The frames are awesome, octagonal in shape. I can’t waitContinue reading “THIS WEEK IN ALEXX”
#CancerSucks
This past Friday, I was diagnosed with cancer. It’s in the lymph nodes in my neck. (Bruce refers to them as “nymph lodes” to raise my spirits.) The problem is finding out where it originated. So, more testing. Yippee! A PET scan, most likely. I’ve been crying a lot. It’s hard not to think ofContinue reading “#CancerSucks”
