Can't keep a good gal down!

5/24/2011

My health and body keep trying to keep me down, sometimes gets the best of me... but I'm all over that!
Decided that a strong mindset equals a healthier body.  I have always had that rational, but sometimes things get the best of me.  Not anymore. 
I'm putting my mind to feeling good even on days I may not.  It's sometimes hard because people will ask "How are you?" and I have to lie and say "Great".  Well, eventually I couldn't even do that.  So I'm back to the "Great" starting tomorrow.  I think that will probably steer me to feeling better.  lololol "probably".. let's just say "IT WILL".
17 days until my MRI and Oncologist appointment in Ottawa.  I love answers.  :) 
Found an amazing radio station up here in Bobcaygeon area and I think it's new.  96.7 FM.  It has new and old music, it has country, it has rock... Love those stations that play songs that I know every word to.  Too bad I can't even list off the provinces of Canada, but I certainly can list off the lyrics to 100's of songs!  One's I have not even heard since childhood suddenly pop into my head. 
Green, I love the colour green.... it's my favourite. :)

Long weekend, very long weekend....

Well, thanks to my friends, I enjoyed the long weekend and they had me distracted and having fun.  LOTS of fishing with Naz... LUV my fishing! The throbbing, pain in my neck, ear and the pressure have about driven me up the wall.  Could be the barometric pressure, that's what I'm associating this to. 
Thought I was going to go to emergency and seek SOMETHING.. didn't know what but just something to stop the pain.
Anyway, did have an amazing time with friends on our deck, singing karaoke, dancing and roasting marshmallows around the fire.  The picture to the right is us and one with my guy!  I guess it's easy enough for me to add a new pic every day when I blog... a visual sortta speak.  haha

The closer it gets...

The closer June 10th comes, the more nervous I get.  I can't wait to get this all over and find out what my little schwammy may be up to.  I also am nervous to think it may not be shrinking at all or dying.  In reality, I feel it is actually growing in size.  I have very much discomfort, pain, throbbing ect in the area.  90% of my day has me feeling it and thinking about it.  I'm impossible to figure out to many around me.  Whan asked how I am, I usually reply "Oh great"... but my face does not say that.
I hope this is all in my head and only my apprehensiveness is making this more difficult for me.
Time will tell.......

Surprise.  Sometimes I am not the strong, funny, positive healthy one with the pat on the back to make your day better.  Now is that time. 
Nothing else needs said.
