My camera batteries. . .and a new blog banner

So - I just now figured out that my camera batteries hadn't been charging in the little charger thing. Call me brilliant. .. Hopefully - I'll get that fixed today.

I haven't heard from my oncologist with the next step, after the MRI that I had last week. I'm anxious to get moving on this. I am trying to decide where to go for a second opinion. I'm not convinced that the treatment plan proposed, is the best for me, as it is very conservative.

I've been working with a couple of Etsy sellers to help me with managing my anxiety thru the use of essential oils and such. It is a mind/body thing.

I did a couple of scrapbook pages about my cats and Christmas lights the other night - that was fun.

Does anyone create blog banners? I need help with mine!!! Leave me a comment.

Update on the C thing

So - I went to the oncologist on Friday at KU Med Cancer Center. I am having an MRI on Wednesday and a CT scan on Friday. After we get the results from that, I will have a surgical D & C with a Mirena IUD placed. The IUD will provide a low-dose of progesterone to counteract the estrogen in the tumor.

It's good for me to write this down. Make it more real.

I will be attending the Midwinter's Fantasy Scrapbooking Retreat in February sponsored by PaperPixie kits, down in Overland Park, KS. I can't wait!!!

This picture is of my beloved kitty, Jasmine. She decided to explore the new file cabinet that Louis got me for Christmas. Note the mess on my crafting tables to the right!

Cancer update and My Guy

First - thanks for everyone's support. It is helping. Second - I am so flippin' mad. I still don't have an appointment with the oncologist yet! No one is returning my calls. . they tell me to wait, be patient. I want to scream "I HAVE CANCER!!!" It's so weird - but I want it OUT. I want it GONE! My Dad has called me twice today. I feel guilty for worrying him and Mom. . . Ok - 'nough whining for a bit. . . I think I need to roll around naked in glitter before I go to the oncologist.

The pic with this post - this man makes me happy. Love that cheesy smile.

However, he didn't care for the GPS he received for Christmas - so I'm using it. I like it! He doesn't like it telling him where to go. . . . .hrmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Valentine's Day Goodness, part 1

This picture is my first Valentine's Day artistic endeavors for this year. It is 2 chipboard shapes and paper from Work In Progress kit. I inked the edges with Ranger's Old Paper Distress Ink, then glued it all up! I used Scenic Route rub-ons for Louis and I's name. . .I think it's cute!

The WinterBella classes are so wonderful. I'm woefully behind, but making progress.

I found out yesterday that I have endometrial cancer. What a shock. . . .My emotions are all over the place. I am being referred to an gynocological oncologist at KU Med. . .More updates to follow.
