Ryan

 Can we just throw a shout out to Ryan for a minute? I mean, if you know him you know he's pretty great. Did you know I liked him from our first date? He took me on a lunch date. It was a thing his friends did for a first date. Another story for another time. Anyway, after he dropped me off I was like, "I like him." He wasn't like other guys I had dated recently. He was different and I could tell. I loved him from the first date. And I always tease him that I tricked him into marrying me, cuz let's be honest I can be a little crazy. 😆😆

Tuesday night when I had my meltdown in the shower he was right there to support me. I got out of the shower and was brushing my hair. He took the brush from me and started to brush my hair for me. I was apparently being too rough so he was trying to gently brush so not so much hair would come out. 

We got into bed and I was still crying a little. I can't remember exactly what he said but something along the lines of "We don't love you for your hair." I jokingly said, "Ya you love me for my body." He said, "Yes and we want your body around for a long time." 

We were sitting at the table talking one day and he said something to me about beating the cancer and sticking around. I said, "You know I'm beginning to think you like me." He said, "You're finally figuring that out after 15 years." 😀

He's a great guy and his family is all wonderful. If you don't know Ryan, you should get to know him. He's the best. 💓💓💓

    Ryan is a lot like Nick. They are both calm and you need that right now. So glad he’s there to take care of you. Love you both.

surgery recap (graphic pictures)

 Alright. I've had questions about this last surgery, and I'm going to just explain what happened so hopefully it makes more sense and answers the questions.  Back in June I had my double mastectomy. They took out all of my breast tissue. My chest was flat. I've seen mastectomy pictures and it's almost concave where the breast tissue was. That would have been the case for me except I chose to do reconstruction. So after taking away all the tissue they placed the tissue expanders. They're like implants but they have a valve on them that they fill with saline. I went to the plastic surgeon's office every week to have my tissue stretched. They needed to make a pocket for where the implant would eventually be. I essentially chose my breast size without having to wake up from surgery and be like, "Oh I wish I was bigger. Oh I wish I was smaller." I went in one week and they put 50 cc's of saline in. We waited a week for my skin/tissue to stretch and the...

How are you?

November 9, 2023. I get asked all the time, "How are you doing?" It seems like it should be an easy question to answer, yet I hesitate. I can't quite say, "I'm doing great. Everything is going good." Why? Why can't I just say that?  I SHOULD be able to say that. I'm cancer free, and I'm not sick anymore, yet I don't feel like things are great. I know when they're asking me, how are you, they're referring to how I'm doing cancer wise.

 Remember how I was having surgery today? Remember how I was going to get my port taken out and these uncomfortable plastic expanders? Ya well not happening today. Whoever filled out my pre authorization form put the wrong facility. They wrote down American Fork hospital which is great cuz my insurance covers that hospital. But my surgeon isn’t at American fork today, he’s at a surgical center in Provo who my insurance does not cover! I should clarify- my insurance will cover it if you have a certain plan. So my plan goes to the Intermountain hospitals. But a different plan goes to the HCA hospitals and the surgical center. Why? I don’t understand why someone with my same insurance company can go to the surgical center but my plan doesn’t let me. The morning was spent with calls to insurance, surgical center and surgeon’s office. All with the final decision that I was not able to have surgery today. Oh my gosh thinking about it makes me want to stomp and scream and throw a tantrum!...
