Tis just ME




I went to Dr. Jones this AM, just for a follow up.
He did my reconstruction.  He told me
anything that isn't great he'll fix when I get
my nipple!!  woohoo

I go back to see him June 2nd, which is after all my
chemo is done!! Praise God, tis NOT that far off.

I drove myself and it felt GOOD to be out
and independent. 

 I just wanted to show you
how cute my hat is!! *Made & gifted to me  by Lallee's Cottage*

Rich said, I see you over there taking pictures of 
yourself.. Made me Laugh!! 

He's on the couch , I'm about to go take a nap. I had 
lunch & it's 11.30..good time for a nap.
I might make THIS later..when I can get out to shop for 
some supplies



Hope today  is good & please pray for my friend Church.

  1. Your beautiful and I like that hat.

    Your blog always looks so nice. I wish I could do half the things you do. Maybe someday I wiil get s someone to show me how to make mine pretty. Changing the color is all I can do and I do that often.

    Hope you have a nice rest and a wonderful day.

    Love and God bless,

  19. Hi Deena...just stopping by to say "hi" and see how you're doing. I'm so glad you're doing so well. I'm sorry though that your hubby isn't feeling well. Hope it doesn't "visit" you. We're on vacation for 2 weeks and having a good time, but I'll visit when I can.

    Hugs sweet friend!

  22. Deena,

    You look very pretty in your cute hat. I'm so glad you were able to get out and drive yourself to your appointment. You go girl!

    Sorry that Rich is down with that nasty flu. It definitely zaps the strength. I am still recuperating. My friend in Arkansas had it a while back and she said it took her 2 weeks to get feeling back to her old self. I'm still struggling.

    My joys for today:
    A bright sunny day on such a lot of snow. Made the world look so clean.

    Spending time with Brandon and Jordan.

    Feeling a little better each day.

    Having you for my friend.

    Enjoying the love of my Lord.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  27. Hi! Deena - I'm new to blogging but I've been lurking for a while. Just wanted to let you know that I made my appointment for my mammogram today. I needed a little push in that direction...I know you gave me that. Please stop by and look at my Easter projects. I got some of them from Martha last year. Looking forward to seeing your nests. XXOO

  44. You look purr tee in the hat. That was great that you drove yourself to the nipple doc. It is the simple things that make life spectacular as stated by the goofy guy with huge eyebrows on sissy minutes. Peace

  48. Fabulous you Deena!
    Hope Rich is feeling better.

    Glad you are able to drive and get around some - this is good for your morale and, with Spring imminent, you will enjoy getting about to enjoy the scenery I know.

  49. Great hat!!
    I'm loving reading your "joys" that you list. It's good medicine you know not only for you but for others as well.
    Oh I have to tell you....your birds singing in the background.....sound like the ones that make nests on the patio (in the metal roof that is over it) outside of our bedroom. I just bought a new wicker furniture set for the patio and they have been dropping their "nesting material" all over the furniture......so far though, no bird poop so that's good. HA!

  53. Deena, you look absolutely breathtaking! That hat is adorable, really makes your pretty eyes stand out.

    Hope your hubby is feeling better & will pray that you don't take it. I'm home now, didn't take my mom's pneumonia, or my hubby's flu.

  54. I just wanted to tell you to stay encouraged. I have had cancer for 7 years. And for the past 4 stage 5. Bone cancer and brain. God is amazing. People say they dont know how I do it. I tell them I dont. God does. Driving yourself was huge I know. Independence is very important and the little things become huge. So yay for you!
    Take care.

  61. Deena:
    Great news. Little Eva does not have to have the chemo and radiation treatments. Just a CT every three months for 2 years.
    Thanks so much for your prayerful support. I am going to Mass on Friday and I will be offering my communion for your total and complete healing.

  67. That hat looks great on you...quite chic. I think one of the most inspiring components of your blog is when you post your joys. In the midst of your suffering- you choose joy, and I am deeply inspired by that. Mother Teresa spoke of choosing joy often...
