Green Veggies...

-
Well, on Wed or Thur of last week, we started Green veggies with Leda. We decided to start with Greenbeans....I love green beans...I pretty much like all green veggies (except broccoli - Bluck!)...so was hoping the kid would love greenbeans too. No dice...we got it spit out at us on the first night, and then she wouldn't open her mouth unless a bottle or a spoonful of rice cereal was coming toward it. The second night, we got gagging! So, no greenbeans for this kid...well, at least not for now...we aren't sure, but it could also be that she was feeling poorly.

Then, this weekend, we didn't eat anything but our bottle...we really were not feeling well - we think it might have been Fifth's disease, since there was a rash and temperature, and Dr. John pretty much concured. Now, we just have a stuffy nose and a cough. No temperature anymore, than goodness!

So, last night we tried Peas...and much to my delight, this child will not take after my mother when it comes to peas! She seemed to like them! First veggie that we didn't get a strange face with the first bite! Wow! Now, I did warn her, no matter how much she likes peas, that her Grandmom will NEVER EVER make them for her, as they seem to be mean nasty things to Grandmom (don't have a clue what peas ever did to her, but she hates 'em!)

So, we will continue with the Peas for a few days and then try the greenbeans again. Hoping it was just a case of not feeling well, and not that the greenbeans have become for Leda what Peas are for her Grandmom!

First of all, Grandma does not "hate" peas, she just chooses not to eat them. She will make them for Leda, just like to does for her other Granddaughters -- because their Mothers think they should eat them.

What Grandma does "hate" is brussel sprouts, so don't eat them, Leda, no matter what Mommy says!!

Second Opinions and Trusting the Process

So what do you do when you get a diagnosis of terminal cancer? Ok, yeah, you freak out. I’m pretty sure that’s what I experienced the first week of this new life. You start thinking of all the last things you will be doing. That’s where my head went. When we met with our oncologist, who came very highly recommended and, as it turns out, was the Dr my primary Dr team WANTED for me, I had only known for exactly a week and had only had my biopsies done that morning so we still didn’t know exactly what kind of breast cancer I had. The meeting was a blur. I remember having two questions…should I change my diet and what is the prognosis?  So, let me step back, Dr V (Dr Maria Vershvovsky…..yeah, no one can pronounce her name well, thus, the Dr V!) is with Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center and associates with Chester County Hospital….the best cancer center in this area of PA and one of the best hospitals….20 mins from home, so we are really lucky. My Dr was very certain that this is the D

 Do you know how often I think of cancer now? Every damn day. Almost all day long, in some cases. I try to keep thinking about other things, but it all comes back to damn cancer. So if I haven't responded lately, it's mostly because I just don't want to talk about f'ing cancer. Know I am okay...I'm dealing with treatments right now and hoping that they start working (or are working) and working with my Dr and team to stay as healthy as one can be with cancer.  There is so much that is out of my hands right now. It sucks. I am attempting to stay as hopeful as I can, but there are times when I just want to not have cancer and be angry and upset about the fact that that will never happen now. So, bare with me....and if I don't answer, don't think it isn't because I don't appreciate the contact - I really do and I love my people. I just don't want to talk about cancer or how I feel right now! ;)

Yes, we have recovered (mostly - I am the lucky one to have continued with a cough that won't go away, but other than that...) Work is busy and I have promised two pies (yes - don't laugh!) for Thanksgiving dinner at our neighbor's house on Thursday. And, I have a slide show I have to complete for our reunion on Saturday night (yes, 20th high school reunion - how scary is that?). So, can you understand why I am SO looking forward to four complete days at home doing no work? Besides, I get to spend it with her: I mean, wouldn't that be SO worth it? Pictures will be forth coming - I mean, really, do you think I'd go to my 20th reunion without my camera??
