The Day the Angels Came


The photo above was taken from the roof of my building - with my cell phone. A friend of mine called me this night and said the "angel clouds" are coming! If you look closely, you can see the brightest parts of them. They were right over her house and headed my way. So I went to the roof to take a look. It also happened to occur within an hour of my being diagnosed with breast cancer.

I think most of my "readers" already know about the big "C" word. And as I've said, my body just likes to grow stuff. The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of information, decision-making, phone calls and investigation. Good thing I'm a Scorpio. Queen of investigators.

So I also had a big drama with my insurance company today, as they didn't want to pay for a necessary scan to determine whether or not I could keep my breast. Go figure. In the end, the procedure has been approved, but delayed after my doctors really went to battle for me. Today I'm thankful for pitbull doctors.


I sense that the tone of my posts may change going forward, and I may just ramble about my experience navigating through western (and possibly eastern) medicine. I would just like to know this...why does my body think I'm so old? And by the way....YEAH OBAMA!
