how hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood? ("say anything")
apparently, it's a little more difficult than I thought.
here's a look back at my calendar, it might explain where I've been.
my friend cindy was diagnosed with breast cancer; stage 1 but grade 9
my mom undergoes numerous cardio tests to find out why she's been so tired
my friend angie had little samuel jeffrey 10 weeks early; tiny but healthy
march 9-31
march 9-31
cindy struggles with making a decision between lumpectomy and mastectomy; I listen
my mom found out she might have had a heart attack; what?
cindy has surgery; I stay the night and make meals
my great aunt has a sore on her leg that the doctors thing might be MRSA; my mom is not allowed to go near her
aunt jean's sore is not MRSA or staph; possibly just a spider bite
april 6
cindy finds out the cancer was not in her lymph nodes; yea
but discovers the cancer was detected close to the chest wall; which opens up a higher risk of rogue cancer cells taken up residence in the chest muscle
my friend hailey has little levi abraham; 8 pounds 12 ounces
my mom has her first appointment with her cardiologist; he isn't convinced of the heart attack theory, but is worried about her EKG baseline numbers; she schedules a heart cath procedure

saw "say anything" on the big screen with friend erica; want to let you all know that john cusack is even dreamier in this movie on the big screen. LOVED IT!

I fly to palm springs to meet levi, get a little sun, and play auntie for a long weekend
mom has heart cath procedure; one stent successfully put in and no additional open heart surgery needed (PTL!)
april 24
drive home to spend time with mom and dad; monitor her recovery and just be
april 28
mom's follow-up appointment with cardiologist; he's happy but putting her on lots of medication that she'll most likely be on forever. she says it's a small price to pay. I agree.

Reading this made me tired. I'm gonna have to take a nap. You need to be sure to get rested up too, because I'm coming in a week and I expect a refreshed Auntie Jenny!!!!
Wow sis! You sure have had a lot to deal with lately. I hope you are able to relax soon and rest up. Love you!
Jenny, I hope all gets better and that your mom is doing well!
