A Public Service Announcement-(just imagine a voice like George Clooney or Jennifer Aniston):
If YOU need to see a medical specialist (like YOUR DOCTOR!!) for any reason like experiencing pain, lump, annual, semi-annual or WAY OVER DUE ANNUAL), please, PLEASE MAKE A PHONE CALL!!!
To date, I have 13 of my friends and relatives who have said they need to make an appointment with their doctors. To those who have seen their doctors and have received their results, they have all been negative! YEA! Now to those who have promised to call their doctors and have not, do it today. And finally, to those who have not yet called OR THOSE WHO NEED to make an appointment, PLEASE DO IT! Do it for me, for your spouse, children and for your family so you do not need to tell them news like I had to do. Let me share with you that telling my kids, Larry’s parents and my Mom (oh, I haven’t told her yet!! Shhhh.) and our families was agonizing. It was so hard because I didn’t want to them worry and I didn’t know how they would take it. Believe me, you do not want to be in that position. And let me know if you are my 14th, or 15th, or whatever number person.
Now to the Favor part. Thank you, everyone, for your phone calls, emails and visits, of support, love, prayers, flowers, books and loving thots. And offers to do meals and whatever. I am calling in the ‘meals and whatever’. My recovery will be long (BTW, Larry, the doc said I will out of work for 6-8+ weeks!!) so I would love some meals for my family. I think my family would be healthier if they didn’t eat top ramen noodles everyday. Tho Brett would love it.
And would someone please coordinate it. I would really appreciate it.
Till the next entry, take care.
Aloha,
Anita
PS. Please leave me a comment. I love the read them:)!!!
My family will support you with anything you need. Keven
ReplyDeleteAlso, consider telling Mom. I think it would be best that she knows. She'll be able to handle and will help support you.
ReplyDeleteOh wishing i was closer to bring food to the family . . . you know you are in my heart and my prayers!
ReplyDeleteI just came back again to hear George whisper in my ear again!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita,
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to see you today. Thanks for sharing your news and this blog with me. This is a scary time, but you have always been the strong one so I expect you to get through this challenging time. My prayers are with you and the family. Love, Jody
Anita,
ReplyDeleteJust learned of your surgery and will help any way I can. A very good friend of mine was diagnosed last November with breast cancer. She had a double mastecomy followed by 4 months of chemo and is now back at work and doing great. I will keep you and your family in my daily prayers! Love, The Stewart Family
I'll bring over food on the 16th - that will be a crazy day. Will leave on a cooler on your front porch and whoever can deal w/ it when they get hungry.
