HeALTh UPDATE:
Met with my new specialist last Thursday: the radiologist
He seemed nice and competent and was caring...
He said that he wasn't too keen on the slight skin discoloration
around my (beautifully) healing scar...
So the radiotherapy is to begin next week...
i chose this doctor for his reputation and the fact that his team
has the latest equipment and technology...
i am aiming for the least amount of lung and heart damage possible...
...why does all 'mainstream medicine' always come with 'possible side effects' to consider???
sighhh...
anyway i have made the decision and although we are starting sooner than i wanted to
i probably wouldn't have a had a lot of choice anyway as Christmas looms and this doc has decided that i need 6 weeks of therapy (instead of 4)...
so we better get started...
It will be quite a 'time challenge' for me...
as i don't drive (did i tell you that already?) Never have actually...
have always either ridden a bike or walked or used public transport
(and ~love~ this way of life by-the-way as it has taught me to be more 'in tune' with my environment and i ~love~ the social ability this 'way' also provides) anyway...
as this new doc is about 2hrs away by bus (so 4hrs there and back) i have had many of my friends and family offer to help me out with a ride... Now i know that this sounds really stubborn but i resist this type of help unless it is an emergency, because i really hate the way it makes me feel ~helpless~ which i am most certainly not! (By a long shot)... But i am thinking to my little self "Just how on earth am i to do this and daily juice, and meditate for 2hrs and eat AND do my usually stuff for my family... cook, clean, wash... and i so want to create some ~aRt~ to give to my wonderful bloggy friends who have been SO supportive !!! "
hmmmm...
But as i always say ~everything~ has meaning and purpose and so there MUST be a way...
Perhaps this time spent busing could be meditative for me?
Perhaps some 'stage' of the art/creating process could be completed while busing?
Perhaps i will meet some ~wonderful~ people...
have some amazing experiences...
and experience more opportunity to...
~love~
Ok so i'll just take it one day at a time...
and 'so what' if the 'dust bunnies' start racing around the house again...
it's just dust, right?
5 days a week
for 6 weeks...
so my bloggy-ing may be affected X:-o!!!
well i'll just have to learn how to be short and sweet and to the point hey!
so forgive me if catching up with you guys becomes a little 'behind'...
it's just 6 weeks out of my life, right???
Perhaps God just wants me to utilize a little more "me time" Lol!
(Maybe She does have a sense of humor!)
and is a lot wiser than i sometimes give her credit for...
so ~wish me luck~
and Tallyhoo!!!
~Love to you~

Yes, just take everything one day at a time (that is all any of us can do right?). Your blog friends are here and if you need time off or don't blog as much, we understand and we will still be here!!! XOXOXO

who cares!!!

Darling Vicki
I am going to give you a little love *shake*
You are being stubborn my dear
Of course you realise what it means for someone to be allowed to help their friends???
And how important it is for you to ~let in~ their love.
It has nothing to do with you being helpless, it has to do with allowing them to love you.
Consider at least sometimes letting them drive you.
It is all about LOVE
Besides the scold, which I hope you will forgive me for.
I am so glad you posted this as I was wondering.
xxox
If I lived near you, I would so want the honour of driving you to your appointment.
Oh DeeDee
i wish you lived next door too!
X:-) Love ya xox
I like Maggie, I think dust bunny babies are CUTE!!!
and DeeDee has it right, people who love you want to help you and show their love in a tangible form, this is a way where they can feel like they are doing something "actual" to be part of your treatment. Let them in, let them love you in every way they can. Catch the bus a couple of times a week to utilise the time out it gives you. But please let other people in....in all things it takes a village.
and also like DeeDee if I was there I would want to do this too.
love

Say welcome to the dust bunnies, use the time to meditate ... you will meet wonderful new people and have some awesome experiences ... and accept help that comes your way with a loving heart - trust The Universe, Queenie
I support Maggie, DeeDee & Michelle!! I guess if we were all your neighbour, we'd probably argue on who would become your main driver ;0)
Although time alone meditating on the bus will be good (I always opted for bus over subway in NewYork and loved it ~ it was time for myself), please let others take care of you my dear friend!
