I love you and I've missed you, but my girls have been misbehaving!

So I went yesterday with my dear friend T to have a Stereotactical Biospy of my left breast. This is all old hat to me. My gyno recommended I go for a baseline when I was 35, I didn’t. I waited til I was 36-THEN I had to have a biopsy-the same kind listed above. It was benign, but I had to go back in 6 months for a recheck. So out of the 10 years I’ve been having mammograms, I’ve had to have at least one biopsy on at least 8 of them. This past November I went in with a place of concern in my right breast, and they found something totally different on the mammo, and that place had to have a biopsy. Not to be outdone, my left breast decided it would act up-and show off some new microcalcifications. But my wonderful Dr. I (he’s the BOOB expert!!), thought we should wait 6 months and recheck. So 6 months was May 19th, he still didn’t like the looks, so we scheduled this biopsy at the SURGERY Center!!! ARGHHHHHHHHH!! Seriously??         "Oh, you don’t have to put me out? Whew!! Only a local? GREAT!!!" NOT!!! After they were done getting the 12 tissue samples (while my left breast was compressed in the mammo machine the WHOLE time!!), I wished they had knocked me out!! But I impressed Dr. I-he said “Doll-that is a very painful procedure, you tolerated it very well. You are NOT a wimpy woman!”. Well, duh!!!! I could’ve told him that! Anyway, I think that’s what he said-I don’t know-maybe I was still blinded by the pain. They gave me a lot of numbing shots-but I think those shots would've been better served if they  had been in a glass, and going down my throat!!  So now I wait…….and wait……and wait………I know, right?? It’s crazy agonizing. But I have some of the most awesome Prayer Warriors-all over the country!!! And I know that worrying about it won’t change the outcome-so I’m gonna let God take care of it, He’s good at that sort of thing you know. BUT, I have a VERY important message for all of you-DO YOUR MONTHLY SELF BREAST EXAMS!!! It’s so important-and it can sneak up on you very quickly. Did you know that even MEN can get breast cancer?? It only takes a few minutes, and it’s well worth that little bit of time, don’t you think? If you’re not sure how to do it-go to this link-

BOOBS

I will keep you posted. I’ve missed you all (few) of my blog friends. I hope I make you laugh, and can bring something positive into your life if you’ll let me!!
Much to come in the near future as I begin a TOTALLY new and welcome chapter of my life!
Much love~
Rhonda

Terrific Tuesday!

Today- Tuesday-October 12, 2010- (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) we will hold another medical clinic, where we will see and treat over 200 patients with the help of some doctors and nurses from Haiti. Patients will also receive food, and hear the Gospel. Many are saved through this ministry, which is totally a God thing-because Voodoo is very big in Haiti.  But through our team voodoo priests have been saved!! Isn't that amazing?  I think it is-so I hope I get to witness God working to make that happen! Please pray specifically for- ·      That every action, word, and thought will be done in love~ ·     For God to multiply their resources so that all needs will be met, both spiritual and physical        Miraculous healings and salvations     Talk to you Wednesday!!     Be Blessed~      Rhonda

Sister Act

Image
My sister was here this past week. Finally, from Colorado. I saw her Thanksgiving 2017, and then I hadn't seen her since February of this year. She came to visit just before I was hospitalized and a couple of the days I felt so bad I was forced to stay home and in the bed. And while I am sad I didn't get to adventure with her those days, almost better is the fact that she and my daughter spent those days together. They filled their water flasks at random gas stations (because as my sister says, "water is free!"), went to the beach, hunted sharks teeth, hunted shells, climbed a lighthouse, ate Mexican food, laughed and probably cried too, and just spent time loving on each other. My adult daughter has an amazing bond with my sister. A relationship I've prayed for.  Because my sister loves her like ,e.. But better. She's a caregiver at heart, and couldn't love my own daughter more if she had borne her herself.  And now, she loves my granddaughter, her great

Animal tales..........

Image
I am back, did you miss me?  It's been a busy, weird, stressful but still good 4 months. I am sorry- I PROMISE never to be away that long again. My name is Rhonda, and I am an animalholic.  I know, I don't think that's a real word either-but it fits.  It's really mostly dogs, but I love all animals-some more than others (spiders are NOT considered an animal, right??). I could blame it on my mom, but I really think my father is to blame. After all, it is he who used to raise Beagles, for rabbit hunting. Sometimes we had 30 dogs (including puppies) at once. My sister Kellie and I quickly became addicted to puppy breath. They should really just go ahead and make a body spray out of that ever-lovin stuff! Anyway-my Dad would leave for work, and tell us "Now don't ya'll go and ruin those pups." What he really meant was this, "Don't go in the pen and love on 'em, and pet 'em, let them crawl over and lick you, and make them pets instead of wo
