I like to write about life when you have a job, some kids, a fixer upper and a fatal disease.

Thyroid: Let’s be really, really cold on a sunny day.

Hysterectomy and estrogen suppressants: Oooh let’s do a random hot flash right now! 

Liver disease: No mimosas for you!

Lymphedema: If I swell just right she’ll never get out of this fancy shirt.

Chemo stomach: Let’s have raging indigestion and nausea at the same time,  at the favorite restaurant. 

Bladder: Let’s behave like she just had those babies yesterday. 

Someone insulted my body a few weeks ago. This body? You’re telling me I need to change this body? This amazing, sturdy, resilient, cancer-treatment-surviving body? No way, I love this beat up ol’ thing. It’s been having a rough time recently, but eight and twelve years back just look at what it made. ❤️
