Words of the Day

This weeks words of the day are:

Tuesday - KnockERIFIC
Wednesday - JugserIFIC

Thursday - thegirlsrIFIC - YES THEY ARE!!

I love trying to use these in sentences. It's so fun.

Pre-Op

Today, Sharon and I spent the morning going to the plastic surgeon and to the hospital for what they call "pre-op". What they need to call it is PRE-PAY!! Everyone wants their part up front. I have to say I became a bit annoyed with it all. Sign this, read that, sign here, and oh by the way you owe us $xxx.

We are all set for next week and we can have a relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. Thank you for staying in touch!!

Miss you all.
Love,
Rhonda

Feelings

I think I am have difficulty expressing my feelings because I don't know how I feel. It doesn't feel real. It isn't suppose to happen to me. Breast cancer doesn't happen to my family and close friends, much less to me. Am I suppose to feel a certain way? If so, what exactly?I guess they call that denial. So, when will it feel real?

Thank you to our friends and family who will be by our side throughout this battle. We appreciate your love and support and couldn't make it without you.

Love and hugs.
Rhonda

Remember to breathe...

There has always been someone to tell me to take a breathe when things were tough. Friends and family are the people who keep you laughing and remind you that you can't be defined by any one moment of crisis.

Rhonda and I have an amazing circle of people that surround and support us. I want to thank you for your friendship and love. There are no words to adequately express how much you mean to us.
