Awesome Ollie

I'm back! I mean I feel much better than I did yesterday. I went to IOP this a.m. and found it to be very helpful today. Each day in IOP there is a quote written on the large dry erase board. Today that quote was; "I never knew a storm so grey, it failed to have its clearing day." I became excited after reading that. Then I became excited because I realized I became excited and that is an emotion I have not felt in quite sometime. :)Or as a true native girl from California would say: "Oh my gosh, I'm like totally excited and stuff.

Anyways after IOP it was time to pay my weekly visit to Ollie. Once again Ollie, you turned my frown upside down. She just has this way about her... she makes my weekly trip to the Labratory more dare I say... fun? Yes, fun. She makes me laugh and she always lifts my spirits. As you can see from her pose she has a great sense of humour. So this post is for you Ollie.

Tonight my husband and I are going on our annual first date to the California State Fair! That means it is time for photo booth pictures and some deep fried heart attack on a stick.

MY husband and I have started designing my second blog... this means soon I will be turning this blog over to you out there. Whomever is reading this and has cancer or had cancer. Further details to follow! I must now go and prepare myself for some Fair Fun.

Post Later,

Love to all,

Lori

I had a lab lady named Libby and she did the same w/me. She was very subdued, but I felt SO normal and not looked at when I went to visit her. I don't miss her by any means, and tell her that every single time I have to see her, but she did the same thing to me - frown upside down.

Nice blog! I was diagnosed with breast cancer on February 3rd, 2005. I have had a lumpectomy and a resection, have gone through 8 chemotherapy infusions and am now in my fifth week of radiation therapy! I like your blog. I am writing one, too.
