Home

I'm home from the hospital.
Surgery went really good. They removed the tumor in my cheek and neck. Doc also took out a few other lumps and fifteen lymph nodes in my neck.
I have a ton of stitches in my mouth. I'm on my second day of mashed potatoes. I'm so swollen and bruised I can't chew anything.

I am heading back to bed. I'll blog more when I'm feeling better.

Moving forward.

Xoxo Thanks for checking up on me.

Squirrel Cheeks

Swimming in Mexcian waters yesterday :)
Pre-op tomorrow :)
Surgery Friday :(

I did have a great relaxing trip away with Paul.  I am getting mentally prepared for another surgery.  I think this one is going to hurt a bit. I have a tumor growing in the muscle of my cheek. I am like a squirrel hiding acorns in my cheeks. That is what I feel like! It's been bothering me and I can't wait to get it out.

Hugs & Love

Happy Holidays 2010

I am a little late on the Holiday blog wishing.
I am really happy that it's over and I now have 3 months to be tortured by the cold. We got hit with a nice winter blizzard yesterday. I don't mind the snow. It's my excuse to do absolutely nothing. I am getting very organized around the house. The perfect time to clean out closets and drawers.
I had a great Christmas and spent the day making it disappear. I was able to get all the ornaments away. I want my house back to normal.

I am still dealing with the same old issues that I have been for years now. I have my surgical date set for January 21st.  It would have been sooner, but Paul and  I had to make some difficult decisions before I went forward. I changed the date three times!

I am getting tired of these horrible tumors!

It's almost a New Year. I am looking forward to the great things that will be happening. Hoping and praying that something health wise will change.

Winter Hugs

Fortune

"Happy news is on it's way to you"     ~Fortune cookie 2010

As luck has it, I do have to endure another surgery at some point in the next few weeks. But, things have been balancing out quite nicely in my life. I have the emotions and sadness of another fight ahead, and my dreams of becoming a mother have been visible every single day. I finally wake up with a huge smile on my face knowing every moment  we are one step closer.

Paul and I are ecstatic moving into 2011.  Our Happy news is coming!

I am still doing my energy work & meditation. It really helps in so many ways.

I have an adorable Christmas Picture this year of Bandit in her Santa hat. She struggled for a while to get it off...poor dog! I'll post it.

Peace

No Turkey for me this year!

Happy " A little late" Thanskgiving to All

I hope everyone had a peaceful day and filled themselves to the brim with a delicious meal. I didn't even have one piece of Turkey! I asked my Dad to Pardon his this year...poor thing.

Paul and I have so much to be thankful for this year.   Everyday has been a gift.

Now we start the Holiday shopping!
I am going to make a list this year and give myself a budget. I try this every year and I fail to follow my own directions. We are really just buying for the kid, it is not that hard.
I just end up shopping for myself. I see glitter and sparkle and I can't contain myself!
I am off now to go pick up a few things. I am making Paul come with me. He can help shop and control me in some way!

Hugs,
Michelle
