My bad boys

The last few days I've felt pretty good and have been able to get some projects done that have been making me crazy!  Kevin came and helped me sort through and cut down a bunch of fence wood in the garage, it's for that accent wall I've been dreaming of!  Now we can actually park a car in the garage!
I also finished this sign.
I saw this on Pinterest years ago and decided to make one.  I just need the right circumstances to be able to find and build the sign from old barn wood, and have Sharla, my crafty and creative friend make me a template.  I'm so happy with how it turned out!  In the years since I saw it, they started being mass produced, but I wanted the satisfaction of doing it myself, like I'd always planned.

My Bad Boys:  I asked my oncologist if I could see the images from the CT scan, which, of course, was fine!  The first picture is a cross-section of my liver on the left, the darker spot in the middle is the tumor.

This is one of the tumors in my liver, the "before"

This image is a straight on look at the back of my head, see my skull up on top? brain stem, down into shoulder bones.  That tumor is--WAS!-- 14.1 mm by 20 mm.

Treatment #4 went down without a hitch today.  I got home 8 hours after I left the house.  So much sitting and waiting!


Sarah and Marie were there with me today!  Sarah is a friend from high school, we moved up the street from her when I was 15.  She's the only friend from high school that I still keep in touch with.  She's fun, and she loves gardening and comes to the nursery with me, even if there isn't another 6 square inches to put a plant in her yard!  I helped her design her flower beds, and frankly, they look amazing!

Marie is one of my cancer buddies.  We were diagnosed around the same time in 2009/2010, and found each other because we had a mutual interest in radically changing our diets because of and after the diagnosis.  We've eaten many an Indian lunch buffet together! I'm glad she only lives a few minutes drive from me, so it's "relatively" easy to see each other.  And best of all, I asked her if she would bring me a mint brownie from the Church Office Bldg cafeteria next time they have them.  Because as much as my diet has improved the last month, I still need a little something now and again, in small amounts.  Just saying!!!

  AND ONE LAST THING

• I got the idea to do this because, it's the right season!
• I found that I really enjoyed decorating trees last Christmas while working on Temple Square!
• There are specific, valuable techniques and procedures I learned that I would love to pass on to you!
• Last Christmas, over 50 Christmas trees were put up and decorated by us in various locations around the Square, its auxiliary buildings, and as far south as Riverton Office building and Provo, so lots of experience!
• Classes can be hosted in my home, or in your home with a group of your friends (using your existing tree and ornaments, or new ones if you want to get some!)
• and last but not least, I have stage 4 cancer and mounting medical bills.  The class is FREE, but a $20 per person donation is encouraged.  Every penny raised from these classes will go pay Kim's cancer-related medical expenses.
