When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. On Saturday July 26th, 2008 at approximately 4:00pm, Mary died. July 27, 2008 in breast cancer. There were still things to say, hugs to give, laughs to share and at least one more “I love you,” but, as it turns out, tomorrow never came, and now it’s too late. I have a lot of thoughts running through my mind that begin with “I wish I had,” and I regret that I didn’t, but we know that you knew we all love you, so I’ll let it go. Long Time No Post.

Surgery: Part II | Pink Lemonade
https://grovemade.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/surgery-part-ii
When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. October 26, 2008 in Body Talk. When I woke up, I was in recovery, and I was very disappointed that my breast surgeon, Dr. Dupont, had had to leave because I wanted to tell her that I had changed my mind and didn’t want to go through with the surgery after all. I guess I thought it would be funny. Looks good, he said casually, and hurriedly snapped my buttons up and whipped out of the room, saying I’ll be back by tomorrow as he left. Long Time No Post.

When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. July 28, 2008 in Uncategorized. Now I lay me down to sleep. May what I’ve sown good karma reap,. But if instead I up and die. Throw a party that lasts all night. Invite everyone I know to my kick-ass wake,. And in my honor ass-hyphen jokes make. Hire a band that will charge no bill. And take donations for those less fortunate still. May life bless those I’ve loved,. And who have loved me well,. And may the jerks and users all go to hell. Notify me of...

When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. Long Time No Post. October 1, 2009 in Uncategorized. Well, it’s been a really, really long time since I posted. I blame this on my tendency to be a poor communicator (good thing I’m in the department of communication for grad school! Thus, I shall make an effort to continue writing, if for no other reason than to maintain the memory of why I became so interested in health communication in the first place. Long Time No Post.

When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. No Party After All. August 4, 2008 in Uncategorized. Everything went well, I somehow woke up with “breasts” almost the same size as the originals, and once they’re finished with reconstruction, I’m going to have a fantastic rack. Right now, though, it hurts to type much and I’m too fuzzy headed to think coherently anyway, so details will have to wait. Until then, the Nintendo DS and Playstation are keeping me company.

Surgery: Part 1 | Pink Lemonade
https://grovemade.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/surgery-part-1
When life gives you breast cancer, make pink lemonade. September 25, 2008 in Body Talk. I was prepared for the loss of strength and range of motion; I was prepared for the loss of independence and personal ability; I was prepared for the tired haze of pain killers; and I was prepared for those times when I would inevitably wait too long between dosages and lose control of the pain. What I was not prepared for was my role as a circus side show freak. The anesthesiologist didn’t exactly explain what ...
