Back to Work .....Dec 1st??

I went to my job the other day to talk to my supervisor. I was letting him know that I was coming back to work on Nov. 16. I was all excited and thangs, then he tells me he got an email stating that I was not returning to work until Dec 1. I was like are you sure, and he printed out the email, and sure as shit it said my long term disability has been approved until Nov 30. DAMN!!

Well it's not all bad, I was actually thinking about staying out the whole month of Nov. because of various reasons...

1. My skin is starting to peel where the radiation was at. and it;s peeling bad, all under my arm is raw and red, and there is some puss...and the nurse said it will take a few weeks to clear up..

2. My daughter and niece are out of school the whole week of Thanksgiving, and they would have to be at daycare all week. Not that they are to good to go, because they will be going when I do go back to work, but to start out going all week all day...I don't know ...

and

3. I wanted the day after Thanksgiving off to go shopping...lol

So it worked out just fine, I will be off until Dec. 1...

No More Radiation....

Yesterday (10/28/09) was my last day for my radiation treatments...Hallelujah!! Thank You JESUS....

It feels so good not to have to go in there everyday. It's not like it was painful, just tiresome. I'm glad it over but also blessed that it helped me...

3 more Radiation Treatments...

Whew I will be done with my Radiation treatments on Wed, Nov. 28, 2009...Hallelujah!

I'm so glad, it's not that it hurt, the actual treatment doesn't hurt at all..it's like having an x-ray done. Matter of fact sometimes they give me an x-ray with the same machine...but what I'm tired of is, I have been going every day Mon-Fri at 9:45 for 6 weeks now..it's just tiring...

Also my skin...whew where do I start...my skin is charred, literally, the whole left side of my chest wall and under my arm (my armpit) just charred especially my arm pit..I was going to post a pic for you to see, but my husband has mixed feelings about it, because even though I don't have breast, it's still an intimate part of me, so I will respect his wishes and not post them...

OK so they told me it would burn over time...they said it would be kinda like a sun burn, but I've never been sun burned...so I really didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect this, and on top of the charred skin, it's starting to peel, and the skin that is peeling off is all soft and gooey..and just black...

But all and all I'm an truly blessed to be able to share my story with people. I could have been dead, like many others before me and there will be many after me who has/or will have this deadly disease...

So even though I complain I thank God everyday for his Grace and Mercy....

the Praise Concert

Yesterday 10/23/09, I went to a Praise Concert, with a couple of friends. And when I tell you I got my praise and worship on...I sure mean it...

I really enjoyed the show. All the Gospel groups that performed were really good. Even my church choir (Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church) performed, and let me tell you that they showed out, matter fact that is an understatement, they shut it down...They should have closed the show...

Any ways it was very nice, people Praising God and Testifying...What a Glorious Event...I'm so glad I went....

Thanks Ms. B for getting my ticket...smooches!

WOW Facebook Drama..

First of all I try to live a drama free life...I don't like drama, I don't handle it well..I have a low tolerance for Bullshit...point blank...

So the other day...well it's been about a week or so...my niece blocked me off her facebook page...because I don't agree with her decision to get married in July 2010, when her divorce from the first marriage won't be over until April 2010. So of course I'm the hater, and I need to mind my own business...and maybe I do..but that's just plain dumb...

A lot of things has been said, some by me and a lot by her..lol..anyways we are no longer facebook friends, nor are we speaking, not because of me, but because of her...I was upset but not for long, cause I'm way to cute to hold grudges against anyone...

And then there are just unresolved issues in the family period...I need to go to counseling for real no joke...I swear I was adopted..but that's a whole nother story...

So what I've decided to do it just leave her alone, along with some other people in the family, her mom to be specific..I have various reasons why, not only for the facebook thing, but I've been lied on, talked about in a bad way...and like I said earlier some other family issues...

I love my family, I promise I do, but it's better for me and my sanity to just let them be ....so I'm giving this situation to GOD and I'm gonna try not to take it back, cause honestly at the moment I could smack the shit out of both of them...
