Just a quick update. Kimmy was able to get some appointments set pretty quickly despite the holiday, the weekend and their insurance change (which was already in motion prior to the news).
Tomorrow, Thursday, she has an appointment with a surgeon and then on the 10th she will meet with an oncologist. We'll let you know what happens after these appointments.
A little side bar moment for me here....yesterday, I was at Office Max getting my new 2012 calendar and of course, standing at the checkout, there was a book just begging me to buy it.
Chicken Soup for the Soul...Think Positive
No joke. I think I laughed out loud. Perfect timing. It is loaded with great quotes to start each story...
Courage is being afraid but going on anyhow.
-Dan Rather
Cancer is a word, not a sentence.
-John Diamond
When you treat a disease, first treat the mind.
-Chen Jen
You know what? I think Kimmy is treating her mind first and I'm so proud of her right now. Perhaps she or my mom don't readily see it because they are with each other every day right now, but I do. Together, they are keeping her life as she's known it to be. Normalcy is bringing peace and stability.
Happiness is far more about our attitude than our circumstances. From a great attitude we gain strength.
Mom got to live a day in the life of a cafeteria volunteer with kinder kids today. Thanks for sending this picture mom. It's great to see Kimmy doing something she loves to do. It's great to see her with a great attitude. It's laying the foundation for her strength in the future. These moments are treating her mind...
