The Koomen Five: October 2008
http://koomen5.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2008. How Life is Measured? By the amount of "sleeps". I am now going to live as my 3 1/2 year old does, by the amount of sleeps left until something great will take place. This was the best week for "how many sleeps until? How many sleeps until the Halloween Parade? How many sleeps until daddy gets home? How many sleeps until trick-or-treat? How many sleeps until Caitlin's party at school? How many sleeps until. to be continued". It is so much fun anticipating the inevidable. Caitlin...

The Koomen Five: January 2009

Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Gettin' a Little Behind. Okay Girl Scout Cookies, broken arm, missing dog, and snow. I may be a little behind on blogging, but not low on stories. I made it to Carson's preschool open house last week. Once again I enjoyed being the parent and not the teacher. I sat there trying to figure out just how to pry his little fingertips from his carseat. Winter coat, and hat! Oh, did I mention above that the dog ran away? Four and half years here at Woodworth. That is all I can think...

I need to get something off my chest! ;): Don't go getting soft on me...
http://needtogetsomethingoffmychest.blogspot.com/2010/05/dont-go-getting-soft-on-me.html
I need to get something off my chest! Thursday, May 20, 2010. Don't go getting soft on me. At my quarterly check-up with the oncologist in January, I had asked about a bone-density test. I don't know what prompted that, I probably read something about post-chemo bone loss. Anyway, she scheduled me for one and thankfully, they called to remind me about the appt, because I didn't have it in my book. The test was quick and painless and I saw the oncologist again in April. Lessons learned: Ask for bone densi...

I need to get something off my chest! Wednesday, April 14, 2010. Stands for Post-Cancer Mid-life Crisis.and I'm having one. And it isn't for a sports car. And I haven't written about it because I feel guilty for doing it, and now I can't really get out of it, quickly. Every day I struggle with what I have done and I put off doing laundry a little longer and I leave the stacks of paper on my desk and I just go again and again, to the barn. So, the horse market being what it is- I found a horse, and a terr...

I need to get something off my chest! ;): Happy Anniversary!
http://needtogetsomethingoffmychest.blogspot.com/2010/10/happy-anniversary.html
I need to get something off my chest! Thursday, October 21, 2010. Two years ago, yesterday, I underwent my first surgery in my cancer story. I spent around 5 hours on the operating table that day, two surgical teams took turns taking me apart and putting me back together. For their skill and knowledge and compassion. My hair is my same old hair, just not long enough yet. :). With God, all things ARE possible. Wow, that post brought tears to my eyes! November 6, 2010 at 12:31 PM. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

I need to get something off my chest! Sunday, January 9, 2011. I cannot believe it is my 2-year anniversary, with my oncologist. In preparation for this office visit, I was to have a regular blood-draw, although I could tell from the order that she was asking for more readings than usual. I was also to get a chest xray. And she had scheduled me for a second infusion of Zometa, to combat the osteopenia that I was diagnosed with last April. The doctor approved my plan, so I squeezed in the bone density sca...

David Haas stumbled across my blog some time ago, and read about my approach and management of my health situation, and was interested in guest-posting here. Here is his bio from Mesothelioma.com. David can be reached at dhaas@mesotheliomacanceralliance.org. I completely concur with David's article which follows:. Physical exercise and cancer. Cancer treatment processes such as rad...

I need to get something off my chest! Wednesday, September 11, 2013. You can look back through the blog and read the details of the appointment, but the important thing for this post is that when I came home, my girls were delighting in the hatching of our monarch butterfly. We got pictures, and somehow it gave me great hope, that I too, would make it through the dark, "forgotten" days and would survive. And, I did! Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, I did!
