Rx Prescription for the Cancer Patient: Titanium Spork

by shannon August 7, 2009 Cancer

This morning, I’m minding my own business, workin’ on the ad server when the UPS guy comes running up my driveway and hurls a package into my garage and bolts.
Actually, you dear reader, may need some back story on that before we can go any further. Working from home does indeed have its perks, but [...]

“I’m a Spork Enthusiast.”

by shannon August 4, 2009 Cancer

In a dramatic turn of events, Dr. Christina, my boss and best friend, who is an esteemed graduate of an Ivy League School who we will not mention in this blogpost due to the malicious need from other alumni to steal her ideas, there has been a new diagnosis of my chicky-issues, made by said [...]

Effing Pissed.

by shannon August 3, 2009 Cancer

So, this morning comes and goes without a call from surgery scheduling at Dr. Kelly’s office this morning. So, I decide to call them. The below conversation is what took place:
Receptionist: Hello, blah blah Obstetrics and Gynecology, how may I help you?
Me: Hello, I would like to speak to the Surgery Scheduler please.
Receptionist: Is this [...]

A Malignant Melanoma Walks Into a Bar…

by shannon August 1, 2009 Cancer

Oh, how I love these people. Not so long ago, I met a gentleman named Matthew Zachary that came to Blogtalkradio with a well established show called The Stupid Cancer Show. (See the badge to the left there as well.) I thought to myself, “Ha. What a great name for a show. Good for him…what [...]

Abdominal Surgery: Partay In My Room!

by shannon August 1, 2009 Cancer

So, gearing up for a surgery. I talked to the Doc’s office on Friday and she confirmed it will be an abdominal surgery. I already have a big, crooked, wide vertical scar from belly button to pubic bone from Sam, and a horizontal, nearly hidden scar from Logan. Anything beyond that at this point is [...]

If

by shannon August 1, 2009 Cancer

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And [...]

Breaking News on CNN

by shannon July 30, 2009 Crime

Apparently, this little gentleman didn’t want to go to church. Instead, he led the police on a car chase. This sounds a lot like my brother…I wonder if he has any illegitimate children out there…

I am going to live afterall! Woot!

by shannon July 29, 2009 Cancer

I have the most wonderful of news. The nurse from Dr. Kelly’s office called today, and the prognosis is fan-tab-u-lous. This is going to sound bad before it sounds good…so, just know this has a happy ending…
The results are back from the cone. I have stage 2 squamous cell, invasive cancer, with involved positive margins. [...]

A Cone By Any Other Name is Simply Torture

by shannon July 29, 2009 Cancer

So, I had my lovely cone surgery on Monday afternoon. Let me preface this post by pointing out the hilarity of the little pamphlet that they sent in the mail that suggested a single biopsy, and that also suggested that most women tolerate the cone procedure much better than the colposcopy itself. That, my dear, [...]

Monday Morning: Surgery this afternoon

by shannon July 26, 2009 Cancer

When I finally talked with the Doctor on Tuesday afternoon, she told me that she was going to work me in, in between surgeries on Monday for a Cone Procedure. A Cone Procedure is where the doctor takes a cone shaped, large sample of your cervix. For me, it would be a little different. Her [...]

Waiting for Results

by shannon July 24, 2009 Cancer

The weekend after the colposcopy may have been the longest weekend of my life. Dr. Kelly’s office had promised results Monday or Tuesday, and my mind just ran rampant with doom and gloom for the duration of the weekend.
When you first learn of cancer, you tend to visualize how it’s going to be. At [...]

Cervical Cancer: Oh, could we?

by shannon July 20, 2009 Cancer

Life has a funny way of letting you know when you least expect it just how insignificant you are. Just when you think you have a nice lease on life, a firm grip on the handle of reality, something unexpected just hops in there and reminds you that your “firm grip” is actually quite well [...]

Dude, Don’t be a Pussy.

by shannon April 8, 2009 Parenting

About 5 hours before the below image was taken last night, Logan my just-turned-four-year-old and I were at the grocery store. Minding our own business in the checkout lane, we put the little divider up between our groceries and the gentleman’s groceries in front of us. The “gentleman” in front of us apparently was not [...]

Shhh. SHHHH. BANG.

Cop calls 911 after eating special brownies.

by shannon December 22, 2008 Crime

I literally belly laugh, loud every single time I watch this video. This, I’m soooo proud to say is from Michigan. The best part of the whole thing is the reaction of the anchor and her sidekick. Listen carefully for the snort.

Gun Sales and Obama?

by shannon November 12, 2008 Politics

I keep hearing about all this hullabaloo about a rush to stock up on firearms and guns since the country voted Obama as our President-Elect
Has it once occurred to all the doom and gloom media out there (not to mention all of those that read it) that for most of the rural areas of the [...]

Bumping Up Your Priorities

by shannon November 12, 2008 Cats

I had a very in depth conversation with Olly, my cat this morning. Olly is a brown marble Bengal cat, with Millwood origins. Millwood being you know, the birthplace of the breed and all, he is a bit of an aristo-cat, with domineering tendencies and a panache for getting his way. I [...]
