A Humorous Look at the Bright Side of Cancer... and There Is One

Once In A Lifetime

The “happy traveling nurse” came again yesterday to take my temperature, chide me for going out the day before, drain the tubes, and… weigh me. She’s the first one to do that. Guess I can’t hide anywhere.

I was so shocked to see that I had lost 10 pounds since the last time I was weighed at the doctor’s. “I must have been retaining water,” I commented. “Wait, I know… it’s the boob they took from me. That had to weigh at least 1 or 2 pounds.”

Can’t blame it on that more than once in a lifetime.

  1. Hi Marie. I’ve been thinking about you a lot these weeks. Just didn’t write anything. You are amazing. Big hug. Renee

    (Am I a lipstick brand over there?- reminds me of MY dream last night: I closed my eyes to kiss my coworker Richard , and opened them to find out I was kissing another coworker. What to make of that? Ah well, at least I was kissed!)

  2. HA!! I always weigh myself twice these days. Once with my boob then if I don’t like that number, without….there are perks to everything! You still have those darn tubes? Miserable things aren’t they?
