Yeah, needless to say I did NOT watch the video mentioned above. *Shiver*

Good grief, girl! I turn my back for 2 seconds and all heck breaks loose!

(Translation: Good grief, girl! I turn my back for 2 seconds and, as usual, all heck continues to break loose, but I just didn't hear about it because I turned my back for 2 seconds!)

Thanks for the update. Praying for you. *Sigh*

for the thyroid, I would ask about Afirma molecular testing to be done on the specimen collected during the biopsy (the lab should keep your “slides” for couple years).
Other option is to have a PET scan; if tumor or nodule lights up it has 40% chance of malignancy and must be removed!
The video below shows the cancerous cyst growing on the thyroid; it had been ignored for long time despite obvious manifestation

Good luck.

Good luck.

Sounds like the Brava system???? Hope you are doing well. It sounds like it. I too am nearing the end of re-construction. I am just a tattoo away from completion so I can't wait to read your next post! Sending happy thoughts from Myrtle Beach....

Wow, just reading old blog entries made new by bloggers new formatting. These were the days. Before C. When I thought I was busy. Weird. I can hardly remember what it was like.

So how's your car now? Is it still with you? Hope you did not get rid of it 'coz it's too gorgeous! Nothing's impossible! I know you can drive it really soon!

I am impressed you were able to type this blog post! That takes skill. It has been a momentous year, hasn't it? And those moments aren't over! You're going to have a nice skinny arm for the birth of your first granddaughter! :)

2011-06-20T09:56:42.829-07:00

I have, unfortunately, let that avalanche bury me during the most significant times in my life. I just never saw it the way you just explained it. But that is the perfect description.

The retreat sounds awesome--I'm so glad you got to do that.

Brandon is superadorable.

I love that last picture of you.

I LOVE the new title! First time I've felt that way with that book. Now I just need to read the final version!

Glad you beat the avalanche! It inspires me to try and outrun the next one that comes at me. (I know you just said, "Like right now?" Because so did I. Ugh.)

I'm gonna call you right now about your other business.

Verification word: fries

Yes, please.

Suzanne - What a beautiful blog entry (entertaining too). I loved it! You are such an inspiration. I have been moving and strengthening in one way or another since I got back from Moab. It is an enormous step for me. Moab was life changing for me….I am trying not to over analyze it; I am just going with it. Today, I purchased the first bike that I have owned since the 3rd grade. I rode my husband’s bike a couple of times last week and decided biking would be one of my many ways to keep moving. I know that I look like a crazy lady trying to maintain balance and learning to use the hand brakes!! The last time I rode a bike all you had to do was pedal backwards :). I feel so fortunate to have met you and to have shared time with you. You are so very generous and nurturing, you have so much to give and do so willingly even after you have had so much taken away. Your cup most certainly runneth over. I’d love to keep in touch. I look forward to reading more of your blog entries.

I can assure you that many of us feel just the same about Zumba, hopeful that some day we might dance like the instructor and fearful that someone else might see our reflection. Although we might not be wearing a compression sleeve, we are all hoping that the spandex holds up and keeps us all in. It's nice to know that we can all have a good time together! Thanks for your inspiration and looking forward to a great read!

Oh Keems, now I'm feeling inadequate in my description of the whole Zumba experience. I should have had you write this blog! You nailed it! The Reality Slaps are the best!

Wait just a minute--I forgot to mention the cruelly accurate scale in the locker room. Darn you Treehouse Gym! Darn you to heck!

2011-04-26T21:49:52.774-07:00

Hahahahaha! Zumba! I was seriously going to blog about it too, but I just wasn't able to sufficiently convey my feelings of awe mixed with inadequacy mixed with hysterical comedy. My personal favorite part was when I would watch only the dancer girl and eventually think I might look just like that and then accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the giant mirror, even though I had carefully positioned myself so as to avoid that calamity, and I'd get a horrible slap upside the head from Reality. Yeah, that was definitely my favorite. I'm happy and quite impressed that you're still going. Good for you!

Oh Jen, what a great idea! Maybe for mother's day you can convert some of our old family videos to digital! The things I could blog!

2011-04-21T21:50:19.811-07:00

Aw shucks, thanks you guys. I did update my Facebook profile pic yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1203861802 Not that it's anything to brag on, but at least the little teeny tiny version looks okay. I decided the problem with this pic is that I'm too stuff. The new one still has plenty of wrinkles and such, but a little sass always helps. =)

I don't see an old lady... I see a good friend of whom I am very proud and for whom I am very happy.

2011-04-13T12:07:06.255-07:00

You almost gave me a heart attack! You talked about loving the 12 year old stage, and then said, "that brings me to a video". My first thought was, "she wouldn't...would she"? I am so glad it was a video of Brandon and not me at age 12. As Ethan would say, "Whew"!

PS Go Brandon!
