Rear Ended

I've been out of commission for a few days. While minding my own business someone rear-ended me Thursday. I really felt bad, she totally took the blame and she was getting married this weekend, so I can see how her mind was somewhere else!

I immediately had a headache and neck pain but went home and called my own doctor. When I finally got a call back they said I needed to go to urgent care or the emergency room due to needing a CAT Scan. I then called urgent care and they said they didn't have a CAT scan so I needed to go to emergency. Well after four hours at emergency and pain meds that just made me sick it was decided I had whiplash so I went home and am once again recuperating with Ken taking good care of me. No mac and cheese as yet.

I was ready to start goofing off! But this is just a short delay!! Hopefully it didn't stunt my hair growth!! My main concern was that it didn't delay getting my port out on Wednesday! But all is still on schedule. Life is great isn't it?!

Dallas

Ken had a media thing in Dallas last week and since it was kind of last minute and I have a good friend there he decided to drive and take me along.

He had a great event and good interviews and I had good shopping and visiting. Now I know what it's like to shop till you drop. Not quite back to normal but really working on it.

I did get an appointment to get my chemo port out and will be doing that next week. You'll hear some shouting when that happens. Will be real happy to have that out. Kind of like the final remnant of chemo, no more bruising, no more flushing it out, no more having it in there.... Thank you Jesus.

Arizona Was Hot, Hot, Hot! & Cancer Update or Non-Cancer Update!

Had a great time visiting with Melba and Dick but it was hot! Broke a record for the hottest ever on one of the days we were there, I think it was 107! We obviously stayed in pretty much most of the time. But the visiting was really nice and we enjoyed getting to be together.

Ken had a great time teaching his classes and he had great response. There were about 50 in attendance and many were published authors. He really enjoyed it.

In the airport on the way back I saw two couples that I knew. They of course didn't recognize me since on this trip I decided to start wearing my own hair! No more wig. It feels good but it's really, really short. My mother's comment when she first saw me was, "your wig looks really good." So you can probably imagine! And for some reason it's coming back white and gray! But not curly as sometimes happens.

CANCER UPDATE:

Cancer check-up yesterday 9/30 - all good. Doctor's comment: "the chemo did it's job." I'm cancer free! And the ports comin' out. I am just waiting for the surgeons office to call with an appointment date. Praise the Lord. Of course we know God did it - the Great Physician. Thank you Jesus...
