Do we really watch what we say?

I know I don't, but that's me....before I start on my rant of stupid people I think my doc got the message. On Wednesday I received my fill...I'm at 250cc's now. He was gentle and did not hit a vein....!!! Hallelujah!! I was very grateful because I wanted to attend my youngest son's trumpet performance and I knew that if he hit a vein I might be in jail for kicking him in the head....so no vein hit and I was good to go to the performance....sore but in no real pain.

Okay, I don't watch what I say, I tell it like I see it and move on. I have always been like that and in my ripe old age I don't wannna change. However....I am sensitive to other people and their situations (sometimes) and I am getting tired of people saying, "hey you look good" or my all time favorite from Wednesday night was from a mom who I don't really care for anyway said, "you don't look like you had cancer"....now assuming that cancer has a face what would it look like? And did I look like a dragged by a car dog before? Aside the fact that the comment is ignorant I didn't and don't expect intelligence from this person anyway, do we assume cancer must "look" a certain way?
I have no familial history and only 1 other relative has even been tested for abnormal cells (that I know of) so am I just an anomaly? I think not.

Breast cancer does not care who you are, how much dough you have or who your daddy is. It does not care about the light bill, phone bill or food in your fridge....it is a very selfish disease so why would it care that it disrupted my life? or changed how I look? Okay I digress, this is really about stupid people, not a pity party for me and others....what I don't get and maybe never will understand is how people can just say things that are stupid. My response to this woman was simply"you didn't look that stupid until you opened your mouth either...." I hope she got the message.....People take me to this place I don't go there intentionally.....1 John 5:20 tells me truth will triumph....

So things are looking up for us....I have more teaching assignments that I can handle but I accept them anyway; Kevin is receiving some work which will take us through the summer so that is a true blessing....and my kids are almost out of school ready for their summer activities and they are healthy and great. I am looking forward to slowing down a bit....I want to get my mind, body and soul right for my next and hopefully praise Jesus my last surgery for my implants. My friend Cyndy will come and help work me out since Paige blew her knee out..... I got a back massager my doc recommended that feels like little people are beating me with their fists. I did get a free pillow too....

This weekend will be restful and reflective. I don't want company and don't want to go to the many b-b-ques we have been invited to....I know it sounds rude....I just see an opportunity to sleep more that 5 hours in a night and I'm going for it!! So while I appreciate all of the attention, I am still in recovery....just look at my swelling and you will know....so I will be spending Memorial Day weekend .....SAVING MY LIFE.....
