Fighting a Headache

I've been fighting a headache the past couple of days which is why I didn't write anything last night. Once I laid down for the night...that was it. It's feeling a little better now. Hopefully, by the time I close my eyes tonight, I will have forgotten I even had a headache.

We have a busy week planned. Today was a visit to the tooth specialist to see if they're going to extract Rick's tooth. The answer is yes ~ on Wednesday. Tomorrow is chemo day (the new kind) and an MRI of my brain. The good news will be that they found brains. I'm not worried about anything else. Then Wednesday, Rick gets to visit the tooth fairy. The oral surgeon will be putting him all the way out since it's the tooth in the very back. (It's kind of like pulling a wisdom tooth) I'm sure he'll want top dollar from the tooth fairy and if he's a good boy, he might just get it!

This morning I got a whim to read back in the blog to remind myself how lucky we've been over this past year and a half. I want the words I write to matter. To make a difference. Thank you all for motivating me daily to share our story.

A photo of Rick and I will be on display in Alabama for an art exhibit called "F.A.C.E.S." (face all cancer emerge with strength) along with many others whose lives have been touched by cancer from October 6th - 23rd. I had to find words to express how we were feeling. Here is the caption under our photo ~ "In sickness and in health, til' death do us part". Powerful words when you're battling cancer with the one you love.

When life hands you a coconut...make a pina colada

P.S. Do you know what I was doing a week ago? Dancing with Ellen in Pam's shoes :)
