What do you think???

Photobucket

Isn't my  new look divine??
Oh I love it.





So much fun  today , first I went to
Dr . Jones, my plastic surgeon.
He opened up the spot, took a culture
gave me a prescription for a cream &
an oral antibiotic .  

I go back in two weeks , unless it doesn't clear up.
Everyone there treats me like I'm a treasured friend.
I love it.  Dr Denise , my breast surgeon was 
in the lobby and we chatted for a bit.  I just
love that woman! She's a breath of fresh air
as a doctor. So fun!!


Then my BIL took me to the Post Office to 
get my "Dreaming With Deena" book
from the members of ZNE Art group.
It's SO awesome, full of love & caring
and wonderful art. It touched
my heart so much that folks care!!




My paper shoe arrived today..a hand made card
& notepad with pen from Susan & a card from
Betsy.



Then a short nap, & off to the movies
 with 
my youngest daughter , Mercedes. She wanted
to see  Jumper.  It was enjoyable & great to be with
Mercedes.


After the movie, we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner
Yummy..I have grilled rice, yummy vegetables & hibachi shrimp
Oh so GOOD
Then we went to Bath & Body Works and I bought her some
True Blue Spa
Body Scrub & Bath Spa
It was great fun, but a tiring day.



I'll be sharing pics too!!
I feel so blessed, I love my life so much!!
Thank you all for caring.

  7. Your new look is lovely, my friend and it was so gracious of Sarah to design it for you.

    I'm glad you got to spend some time with Mercedes. Sounds like you girls had a lot of fun. I'm sure she loved the body and bath.

    Be sure to rest, dear friend. Brandon is keeping Michelle in line. Ha! He had instructions from Grandma.

    My joys today:

    Seeing a female cardinal and a chickadee at the feeder.

    Visiting with my neighbor, Marianne. I have talked to her on the phone but haven't seen her in about a month.

    Talking to Jordan on the phone and helping him solve a problem.

    Talking to Michelle on the phone twice and she actually called me both times.

    Looking through a couple of thrift stores, even though I didn't find any treasures. It was nice just browsing.

    Take care. I love you.

    Blessings and hugs,
    Mary

  9. Hi Deena,
    I'm so glad you had time with your daughter today. Sounds like you both had a great time, and topped off with Japanese too!! I really need to arrange for a day with my daughter. The only problem is, I am usually her babysitter!!

    I love your new blog look. Green is my favorite color. :)

    I hope your tummy problem clears up with the medication.

    Hugs,
    Hope

  10. Love the new look!
    You get nice wigs there (in the US)apparently. Natural looking ones are difficult to find in our country. Hugs.
    Joys: It's lily time and so many are in bloom. My orchids are all in bloom too.

  13. Oh Dear Sweet Deena, your new site is gorgeous. I want to learn to do that so very much. Also love the new look of Pretty You. I am so happy you had such a great day. Oh sob, sob, I miss my Chris so mucy and can't wait to go in May. I would love to get some energy---I told Hubby, I have not been this tired since my stay in ICU. Praise Lord Jesus for helping you and being able to enjoy each day, but Please remember to rest when you get tired. Love Ya, Pat

  19. Hi Deena, just stopped by to see how you were doing.....I LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG LOOK.....I remember when my granddaugher had cancer, blogging got my daughter through it.... and when Ali started her chemo and started to loose her hair, her mom shaved it, and she wrapped a towel as a turbin around her head, and all Ali's friends came over wearing turbins....so she wouldn't feel alone..... well Bless YOU and I'll be back later. judy

  20. Ok so first of all I want to go bumming with you and Mercedes (love her name!!), You guys had so much fun. It sounds like even though you had to go to the doctor you had an amazingly blessed day. My friend lost all of her hair and when she visited at our house she even took her wig off. She said she felt like losing her hair was more of her idenity than losing both her breasts but you know what, her hair is back curlier, thicker than ever and past her shoulders in less than two years. She said it was kind of fun wearing different wigs, she would say each day as she was gett ready, "hmm am I in a short blond mood today or a brunette bob mood...."have fun with it, that's what she did and it helped her get through. Please don't think Deena I am making light of it, because I am not, I am just telling you what Kathy did to get through. You are truly a remarkable person and such an inspiration to me. I will get your way and we will have lunch.

    Hugs,
    LeAnn :)

  28. Deena, When my hair fell out after chemo, I ordered several wigs from Paula Young. I would order several at a time, try them on and return what I didn't want. They were so good to take back any or all. I had several and I had a great time with them. I looked better than I ever looked in my life! Ha! Ha! It was fun!

    You can call 1-888-800-5830 to order a free catalog. Their web address may be Paulayoung.com
    You can do a search.

  29. Hi Deena,

    I really do like your new blog look. Very pretty.

    I'm glad you had a good day yesterday. I would have been tired, too, from all you did yesterday. You had a full day to say the least.

    I'm sorry your hair is beginning to come out; but you are a strong person, and you can handle it. Besides, there are some really pretty wigs. I have one myself and no one even knows it's not my own hair when I wear it.

    Love and Prayers,
    Betty

  30. Deena,

    I cried the day we shaved my MIL's head. We still have pictures of it. It was so sad. But, she now has a wonderful head of hair and was only without hair for a little under a year. The Doctors recommended we shave it to make it less painful. It helped.

    Please know that I am praying for you. This part is one of the hardest parts. But I am confident you will be the valiant brave woman I know you to be. :)

    Love you!

  31. I think your new look is beautiful. Green is such a inspiring color. It also goes really well with pink!

    Out of everything my daughter went through, losing her hair was the hardest. Go ahead and cry for it but also rejoice for the beautiful new hair that will replace it.

    Blessed Be.

  32. Hey Sweetie. Yes, the blog looks wonderful! I have been losing my hair pretty steadily for the past two years and have half of what I had without much possibilty of it returning. It scares me - I'm only thirty six, what will it look like in ten years? I'll definitly have to have a hair hat (wig) if this keeps up. Hard on a girl's vanity! Just think though, you will lose some of yours, but it will bome back! Keep your eye on the future, when this is all a great success story and you are the one encouraging others with your story!!!

  33. Your new blog is so lovely Deena, i love it.

    I know some people feel that hair loss shouldn't be a big deal...but it was for me, i cried and cried. I am not a vain woman, i just cried for what it meant...and for its loss. Hard for me to put in to words.

    You will be fine though...God is with you, holding your hand, ready to help your hair grow back when the time comes...in the meantime, rock those hats and wig, ok!
