Fake Breast Cancer

Several years ago, JB had a lump removed from her breast. Hubbie's sister called pretty soon after and told us that it was very tiny and it was not cancer.

The rest of her life, she presented herself to the world as a breast cancer survivor. I know breast cancer survivors and they have been through hell getting through it, not through getting one benign lump removed.

Now my sister may have breast cancer. They say probably not, but I am nervous for her. We won't know for a couple weeks. It brought me back to being angry at MIL for saying that she'd had it when she had not.

How I Celebrated the Six Month Anniversary

When I got the call informing me that I was Free of JB, I was sitting in line at a blood drive at my church to donate blood.

Yesterday was the six month anniversary.

Today, the church had the second blood drive of the year. What better way to celebrate than donating again?

Six Months !

OK, it's Aug 9 at 12:20 am, and I am only now getting around to posting. Technically, the six month anniversary is over as of about 20 minutes ago

In some ways, it does not seem like I have been free of JB for a whole six months. In others, it actually seems like a nightmare much longer ago than that.

I do feel a sense of relief over many things. One is having holiday time to share with hubbie and not to have to worry about that phone ringing for another contrived emergency that happens to fall on a holiday or birthday. I don't have to wonder if the phone is going to ring during supper on our anniversary in a couple months. I don't have to worry about hubbie wanting to go to roach haven for Thanksgiving dinner.
