Summer of Chicks!

Here we Are!!

I love summer!  Our garden is in full bloom and the veggies are starting to grow.  We got 1 day old chickies on April 16th - a tax day present to ourselves and they are growing big.  I sit outside with them and let them roam the backyard. 


Here are 3 of the chickies at 1 week old.  From left, Frizyllis, Bounce and Pierce.

GANG OF FOUR!

Here's all four of them at 7 weeks -  from left to right - George - the runt, but getting bigger and finally getting some big girl feathers at 7 weeks.  Pierce - named for the screeching sound she makes when we remove Frizyllis from her sight.  Frizzyllis - we had a long time naming her, asked people on facebook etc, she's  a black frizzle cochin so I started calling her Frizzles, unbeknownst to me Simon and Fallon started calling her Phyllis (as in Dillar) - so now she's Frizyllis - and the ring leader in case you can't tell! Finally - Bounce - she was very wiggly when young and ended being dropped a few times, but always bounced right back.

They are currently 11 weeks old and I need to get some new pics of them!  Will put them up soon.

Everythings All Right!

I realized I hadn't posted in a while and just wanted to give everybody a quick catch up.  I actually still have a couple videos to put up and a bunch of photos depicting my hair growing in over time.

I decided to not have any radiation - I really believe that radiation is not a positive step in my healing, so it was a no to that.

I continued to have herceptin infusions through December 31st.  And expect to see my oncologist sometime the end of this month.

I had a mammogram in December - which was negative, but all of my mammogams had been negative.  But boy, did it hurt.  The technician managed to line up the machine exactly with my scars from the lumpectomy and it hurt so much!  I think I would have better served with an MRI at that point.

I currently feel strong and positive!

Love to you all and thank you so much for all the support, good wishes and prayers throughout the past year and a half.
