My Hip Feels Good
My hip feels good. I am moving my leg all over the place now, just putting no weight on it, so I have to drag it around. Tumor must be going to tumor heaven. Kind of funny story today. I went to Togo's, a sandwhich place, and they asked me what happened to me. I told them I hurt my hip. Then they asked me again and really wanted to know. So I could not spare them and I had to let it rip. But this reaction was hillarious. Instead of acting all awkward and sad and fumbling about, she just tells me that her brother had brain cancer for like 6 years and battled it hard but eventually just ran out of gas. HA. I am glad she felt no awkwardness with me. I am tough about hearing stories about that, so don't worry about how I took it, I've even SEEN some very sad cancer cases up close. Just laugh at how she must not have gotten the memo that you typically tell cancer stories to cancer people when there is at least some relative success. She helped me carry my food and drink to my truck outside and it was delicious.

Just so happens I know very well a very abnormal person who was diagnosed with Lymphoma around 30 years ago, who is living a relatively normal life today. Therefore:
Abnormal plus Lymphoma equals Normal.
How about them there odds?

My mother went through chemo 5 years ago and she is doing great today. We hope and believe that we will say the same about you as we look back at today....5 years from now.

I remember when i went to get my nails done (yes i am SUCH a princess), the lady kept asking me why my nails were dark and up till then I was always having fun with freaking people out with the whole cancer thing but the more she wanted to kno, the more i didn't want to tell her. The she was like, "yeah it's just that my mom's nails were like this when she did chemo..." and she looked up at me and i was like "hmm... interesting.." and ever since then i just didn't want to bring it up with people. you should be proud of yourself cuz the fact that you can joke about it means that you're comfortable with it. keep it up!
