Last Post of the Year

Alternative title: Thank God it is over!!!

My heart goes out to my patients family who took their mother home with hospice. Her breast cancer had eaten away her breast, and the effects of her radiation treatment made it look like an alien slime was slowly trying to overcome her body. It oozed yellow clear liquids, and basically looked like a huge scab that had been under a bandaid and gotten wet. But it covered her right side from her waist to her neck, stopping just at her jaw line. It reminded me of a horror film. She was very nice though, and her family was pure gold.
Life lesson, do your breast exams and don't hesitate to get ANYTHING checked out.

But being as it is New Years eve, I will offer you my Resolutions. There are some rules I go by. Always make sure you can keep at least 1. Make one resolution so impossibly hard that if you ever did keep it, you would be so impressed with yourself you would be shouting it from the mountaintops. Always include one goal that is outwardly focused and includes maintaining friendships. And you gotta have one about weight. It is a necessary evil.

So here they are:
1. Turn 29!
2. Buy a house
3. Write to two friends a month
4. Get weight under
5. Finish visiting the rest of the United States
6. Take a language class
7. Join a church
8. Finish paying off credit cards/car payment
9. Go on at least 1 date a month
10. Eat at least 1 vegetable a day

Now you get to guess which resolution fits the previously mentioned rules!

Summary for last years goals: Number met: 3!

HAPPY NEW YEARS! It is good to be me!

(it can only get better from here!)
