off to MGH

My appointment is this morning with Dr. Michaelson at MGH. My sisters are going with me. I can't help but think back to my last visit with him and the emotional roller coaster I was on for the hours and days following that visit. I was not in good shape, but once I pulled myself together, I have tried not to look back, but concentrate on the fact that I feel great--and I am working on getting my diet and exercise in a good place...those are the physical things I can do. After reading about and watching the TV coverage on the life of Tim Russert, who seemed to find time to be caring, patient, kind and so many other things--it honestly made me feel as if I want and need to do better in the way I live my everyday life. I guess I just need to have some control somewhere...so, there are many things to strive for. Ok, I'm off to MGH.

I think that it is important to always want to be a better person, but I sure think that you are pretty terrific! I am excited that you are blogging, and look forward to reading it.

Bev, When I saw you pull out of the drive today...I wanted to rush over and tell you I am thinking of you. I recalled you mentioned today you were off to the doctors...the big tractor was in the way so no way I could reach you, By the way....we love ya, just the way you are!

Like others are saying, you are and always have been an amazing person! But there's no doubt some of your most essential qualities--your hopfulness and optimism, your energy and positive karma, your williness to take on a daunting challenge, your selflessness--these things that were in your nature already have seemed to be on HIGH ALERT these recent weeks. Whatever ups and downs are to come, just how you've managed so far has been pretty remarkable.

As if fighting the C-word wasn't challenge enough, now you want to try to give up cheese, coffee and wine too? Now THAT is bold.
