What a great day!

I woke up bright and early to send Curtis off to Holiday World with friends. He was out the door at 645. Paul and I are up and about, Brad already left for work and Rachel had spent the night at a friends. I ate, then did a little laundry, then took a little nap. Yep, that's the routine. Do a little, sleep a little, you get the picture.

At 1130 I went to a friend from work's house, and sat poolside while kids swam and we ate, you guessed it, Thai Spice. I'm telling ya, I love spicy food, and there is no getting me away from it. I have to have something spicy everyday; oh and something chocolate! We sat and talked and caught up on current events until I had to go and see my Boob Dr. at 3pm.

I get to the office feeling great. Now mind you, this is the same office where I had many a MRI, my biopsies and my final diagnosis. I do get a little creepy going in to this office, however, this is where my Plastics Dr. does his rounds in Greenwood. I walk right in and they are waiting for me. Must be a slow day. "Please undress from the waist up and put on this flimsy open poncho." Yep, so there I sat, waiting for the Dr. In he walks and he tells me I look great, I look great in my hat, and that he looked at my PET scan and boy was it beautiful! I'm in love with this man! Where else could I go and get that many compliments in under 5 minutes? He reminds me of just how lucky I am, and I nod and agree with him. I remind him of just how fortunate I was to have gotten that last MRI; for had I not, well, you know. So he finally takes a look at his handy work. He says wow, you look great, and you are healing great! I ask him to make sure cause I want to go in the ocean in Hawaii. He says,"Don't let your boobs hold you back! Go surfing if you want!" Best quote of the day, or of the week, or of the year for that matter! We both look at a few spots here and there (I like to be sure and thorough) and make sure my one stitch that I have coming out of my skin doesn't need to be clipped out. He assures me, everything looks great and he doesn't need to see me until September. I feel great! Wish every appt. could be this uplifting.

I got dressed, got in my car, called my neighbors and we went and had an iced tea from McDonalds and then sat at her poolside for about 20 minutes catching up. I love my neighbors and my neighborhood for that matter. It just is one great place with a bunch of great people in it.

No no, the day doesnt stop there. I forgot it was ladies night out at a local pub/restaurant. Well, damn it, I feel so good, Im gonna go. My freind Jeanne stops by first to give me a gift. It was very, very cute. Two doo rags from the Harley Davidson shop! One pink and very cute, and the other a little funky and orange! I loved them both and will wear them with pride! I stayed for about 2 hours outside at the pub, had an appetizer and one martini (woops) and then hit the road. I got to see the girls and listen to their stories and reminded myself that it is good to get out and keep my mind off of bad things and focus only on the good. Ok, now homeward bound!
God blessed this day and gave me strength! Amen
