Okay. Here's how I am feeling right now:

Wonderful.

Marvelous.

Fabulous.

Just fine.

Not really, but you can imagine. I actually have a slight headache and some nausea, but you didn't need to know that.

Here's how I'll be feeling Monday:

Dreadful.

C'mon, I just had brain surgery. What did you expect?

I'll be starting Radiation Monday. Twelve weeks from that, I'll be doing Chemo, and then I'll be FREEEE!!!!!!!! Yay!


You people should see my dominant hand shake. (In case you were wondering, it's my right.) It's terrible. Honesly. I can barely hold a pen. I can barely write.

God.

On the up side, I just got a Pixie cut. For those of you who don't know, I used (emphasis on used, please) to have hair down to my hips. And I got it all cut off to give to Locks of Love, so some lucky stiff can have it as a wig.
Right now, it's up in a scarf. Paisely silk, for anyone who wants to know...

Ya know, not everything is very fair...

You are amazing. Your inner strength is getting a workout during these weeks, and I'm stunned at how strong you really are. I will be here supporting you every step of the way.

(P.S. You look beautiful)

Laura-
Hello! How are you? :-D Besides the fact that you had brain surgery 3 weeks ago, have cancer, are starting radiation tomorrow, and chemo after that? Keep up your optimism, we're all praying for you.

I agree that your inner strength is getting a huge workout! Look at all the great life lessons you are learning! New medical terms! Great new Juice drinks! And to wear silk scarves daily!!! Since you were 3 years old you have had a love for silk- SO now we all have something to search for on our travels-interesting- unique silk scarf prints -
Keep your chin up! Keep laughing in the face of Cancer and most importantly know that you are always in everyone's thoughts, prayers and dreams! YOU are a woman - Let your voice roar - and Run with the Wolves!
