Ms. Donkey My wooden donkey-mascot, usually just sits on a shelf at home. No, I do not take Ms. Donkey with me to every appointment. But since I realized I was nearing the end of treatment, I tossed her in my bag to meet a few friends at the cancer center. My treatments are pretty quick, but over 6 1/2 weeks, I've grown fond of the 7 therapists I see daily. I always make sure I get in a few questions while I'm there. I know a little about each of them and they know a little bit about me. They've seen me wig-less and they've drawn marks on my body, so why not let them meet my butt-kicking donkey? So the other day, Ms. Donkey came along and tested out my "radiation table" ... then posed on some hands. Posing! Yesterday, the donkey met a few more friends. She made a special stop at the front desk, where I'm greeted everyday by at least 3 big smiles and "Good Mornings!" Meeting my Doc I was a little hesitant about taking valuable time with Dr. Y, but how could I not? I love this doctor. He greets me each week with a huge smile and handshake. He is a doctor and a teacher... professional, yet warm. I'm not sure anyone "gets it" when I pull out the donkey for a greeting. But I knew Dr. Y got it, when he posed my little mascot on his shoulder. I kind of hate it that Ms. Donkey is going to be out of a job, soon! But she's done a good job along the way, making quite a few laugh... especially me.

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
