​​Not So Happy List

#124 - Don't Like Timing for Others

11/29/2016

My Timing

My timing is pretty good. In 2 weeks I will have my last radiation, then a couple days of doc appointments and then a free week before Christmas! Daily raditaion has taken up time, but at least I haven't felt exhausted...yet. I'm ready to begin enjoying Christmas.

Sad For Some
​
​
Lately I've been thinking about all the people who are just getting diagnosed with cancer, as the holidays begin. What must that be like? I learned my gloomy news, the day before Memorial Day weekend. Those first days of torturous worry were on bright sunny days, not drab wintery ones.

​And my family and friends were not distracted with their own holiday to-do lists. They had time to reach out and make me feel cared for.  I'm so grateful I didn't have to begin this whole cancer business, in the midst of busy holidays.

​Last Year
​
​
Last year, Don and I enjoyed the holidays as we always do. We had no clue what was ahead in 2016.  I'm glad we didn't.

 I figure we'll play ukes again this year.  And we'll be feeling extra grateful to celebrate Christmas, with so much behind us.  But a serious part of me will always know... things are different now. I have been changed. And a big part of me will be thinking about all those people, I don't know... who are just beginning their battle.

    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!
