I took this shot today and couldn't help but think of this title. Funny.
I heard from the plastic surgeon office. I can't seem them until next wednesday. That will be 3 weeks since they took out the growth. 3 weeks for it to continue to grow. And it turns out she won't take it out in the office. Back to the hospital for a same day surgery. If she can't get me in quick, I go to Omaha. I will throw myself at the mercy of her kindness. She really is pretty good and really nice. So maybe if I get weepy, she will bend and do it as soon as possible. LOL. Use all the skills you have.
We didn't get out for any shots. I did get the cute squirrel above and some birds. Mostly though I needed a nap. I never nap but have been needing one since my surgery. And I have been having some wild crazy dreams.
Rick and I did some talking about the whole thing today. It is getting easy to discus it. Easier to say the cancer word. I have felt like a phony using the word before. So many people have real cancer, scary cancer. Not just a skin cancer and I felt reactionary getting so nuts about it. But cancer is cancer. You can't help how you feel. So.....I can say it now. I have cancer. Now I am looking forward to the day I can say. I had cancer. But it is gone. I am cured. Hope it is soon.

Cute picture Julie. I hope you post some of the bird pictures soon. I love birds, butterflies and flowers LOL. Yes cancer is a dreaded word. It takes a lot of nerve to use the term easily then it is never that easy to use.I just hope Ken has good news on his colonscopy this summer. It will be a short one since he doesn't have much colon left.
I hope they can get started on yours soon and get that thing out of there.

I absolutely agree with you Julia. The word cancer is very scary.
I started reading a book called Fear no Evil - A personal Struggle with Cancer by David Watson. But I just couldn 't finish it. Its an excellent book by the way.
Pray you get you appointment soon.
May the lord give you courage and comfort.
