Karen’s Story

Site created on December 29, 2021

Thanks for joining me here. I wish it were over sunset cocktails, but we'll just save that for later. I'm using this site to keep family and friends updated more easily.  It looks like I'm supposed to write my story here.  I'm still brushing off my writing skillz, we'll see if they come back or not. This should do for now.

If there’s any perk to being the patient it’s all the love that’s pouring in from all angles. It’s coming in the form of hugs, tears, heartfelt calls and cards, even from people who rarely share what’s in their heart, reminiscing about stories of ol’ and fun treats in the mail. Thank you to all for the squeezes from near and far! I need and appreciate every bit of it.

What a difference a week makes!

Last Monday I strolled into chemo like a Big Dawg (throw back to F7 right there  - IYKYK) wearing my "...ain't my first rodeo" tee. Welp, let's just say I got seriously schooled and ended up with my head in a bucket, nausea and no sleep for the week, lots of extra meds, adjustments to my therapies, etc. 

This Monday, I skipped back into my favorite "WHOLEistic" wellness healing center armed with energy, eclipse glasses and eclipse-appropriate Dad Jokes! My doc and T joined me in the fun and made it a great viewing day...without my head in a bucket.

Q: What kind of underwear do you wear to an eclipse? 

A: Fruit of the MOON! 

Duh.
