2011 MRI

from October 2008

Yesterday was my first MRI in a year! I can't believe that it's been a whole year since my last MRI! I have to be honest, I thought that waiting a whole year between scans would unsettle me more, it hadn't, until I had one of the paramedics at work start an IV for me for the contrast injection later at the appointment.I don't know what happened, but all of a sudden I was feeling a certain amount of anxiety and was feeling somewhat nervous. So, Nervous Nancy = Talkative Nancy. Poor Josh, got an earful, but he did my IV start and it was painless! In the last couple of years I have had 3 other people here do my IV starts and 2 of them were good, one of them not so good and one mostly good, but messy (blood all over the place).

I am guessing that maybe part of my nervousness came from the fact that a pen-pal friend of mine that I had met through the American Brain Tumor Association emailed me with the news that she had recently had a seizure and spent a few days in the hospital and wasn't able to speak for a while. When I read that email I felt some sadness for her. She had been living with her brain tumor for a while now and even though things are stable, she suffered this seizure for some reason that she either didn't know of or wasn't sharing. Either way, it was not the kind of news that would make me feel good about an upcoming MRI! She is all good now and is working with a speech nurse in her home, but she is thankful to God that it wasn't worse, and so am I. 

It's been 7 years - time certainly does fly by quickly. I feel like my surgeries, radiation & chemo treatments were a long time ago. There have been so many MRIs I've lost count! Maybe that's okay.

Here's to a lifetime of keeping things in check....

Candles Anyone?

Mr. Decaf checking out the new biz...

A couple two three weeks ago I took the plunge and decided to start up a PartyLite Biz. Having experienced a reduction of household income, earning some extra cash by running a website business seemed like a good deal. Of course my first Open House needed to be rescheduled, so my debut is coming slow...

Did you catch that PartyLite is expanding business opportunities to include internet sales? It's true! It's a pretty cool opportunity to get into and I'm excited to get into this now. This is a brand new thing and not widely known, it seems. There will of course be in-home parties and I hope to do a party here and there, but my main focus is to make a go with the website. This is something that I have been thinking of doing - in retirement. Why not start now right? 

The benefits of PartyLite via web sales...

1. Shopping in the comfort of your own home - so, get comfy and check out what's new.

2. There are some really great Internet Specials that are not available at in-home parties - these specials can save you up to 60% and include all sort of items!

3. Orders ship directly to your doorstep! No waiting for your order to come through the person who hosted the party - so easy!

If you have never experienced PartyLite Candles before, they are the best candles on the market that are made here in the United States. PartyLite puts all of their products through rigorous testing to make sure that they offer the very best product for their customers.

April's Frangrance is Sea Salt & Drift Wood available in tealight, votive, mini barrel jar and scentplus melts.
