As my faithful readers know, I recently had my third breast cancer diagnosis and a mastectomy – my second – the obvious bonus is never having to get squooshed by a mammogram machine again! My sister Carole, who is 7 years younger than me, has had the exact same type of cancer and a mastectomy a few years ago. So she and her oncologist decided that her fate was probably going to be the same as mine – cancer in the other breast. Last week she had an elective mastectomy to prevent having to worry about cancer and not catching it in time. I hope she has a sense of humor (she is my sister, of course she does) because I made her this postcard.
My wrist is having a miraculous healing. I am working without the brace tonight – but very carefully!
Day 8 of Twenty Days of Virtue Last night I made a virtuous pizza – whole wheat dough crust, no mozzarella, just sauce, peppers, basil, chicken sausage, sundried tomatoes and some goat cheese. Of course, Stevie and I ate the whole thing – how virtuous is that? I had my first weigh-in and have lost 3 pounds – yippee!! Except for the wrist, I am feeling great.

you not only have humour but a strong spirt, love the card
“FORÇA” in portuguese 😀
Gerrie, the postcard is fun and pretty. What a great attitude. LOVE IT. Plus, that pizza sounds yummy. Whole wheat flour takes some getting used to, but now I don’t use anything else. More power to you oh Queen of Virtue.
Love the card. And I’m sure your sister will too. Don’t overdo it with the wrist. (though I understand the need to clean it occasionally. those things get stinky).
Healing thoughts to both you and your sister. Your positive attitude is inspiring. What is life without a little humor, after all?
Hooray for you for all that virtue!
I am trying to recruit my DH to work on this with me. Jen
Great card. Can you tell me a secret for getting such nice corners with the zig zag? My machine always wants to gobble up the corner and then they get all wonky.
That is so funny, and poignant. The older I get the more I think certain things, breasts, most men, housecleaning, just ain’t worth the trouble.
i have got to hand it to you sister — you are an inspiration!
so glad to have found your blog thru your equally lovely daughters.
