Friday, March 28, 2014. Choices My Mother Never Had. It will be 7 years ago tomorrow that I lost my sweet mom because of this damned genetic mutation! Thank you for the gift of knowledge mom.I love you and miss you every day! This is the end of the line for you EX19DEL! Knowing you are BRCA is often viewed as either a blessing or a curse. Yet, many days it certainly feels like both to me. I guess that is how life is.grey and not black and white, right? My and my mom circa 1966. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, February 24, 2014. Quick Update and Some Answers.sort of. Successful but long day in London. Just want to give a quick update.in a nutshell, Dr. Ross says there's no way to determine what's causing my pain (scar tissue [capsular contracture], tightness [my left foob is definitely tighter he said] or nerve pain). He doesn't think it's nerve pain based on my description of the pain, but he can't be sure.it could be a combo of all-of-the-above. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). It's a Family Thing.

Saturday, September 10, 2011. Tattoo Session #3 September 9, 2011. Yesterday I went for my third session on my Pirates of the Caribbean chest piece. I didn't bother posting after my second session because it was just some more outlining and shading. Yesterday, we added colour! Photographs do it no justice. Jarkko's doing an amazing job. I have no more sessions booked before our trip to Disney in October. Hopefully we can get back at it soon! Click on picture for larger version. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I received confirmation of my surgery date this afternoon; I'm set for June 18th, baring any emergency surgeries. As soon as I had a firm date, this song popped into my head.here comes the sun.finally! Here comes the sun).
