Another One for Di

It's Wednesday... That means a few things to me this week. I have reason to celebrate : ) The first is that I actually got up EARLY today! If you've been reading my ramblings for awhile, you may remember that me and mornings are not good buddies! I do some of my best work late at night. But today, I HAD to get up early to go to the doctor : ( Every 6 months, I have a date with my wonderful doctor. I really do love her! I know that sounds strange lol!! Dr. Eve is the surgeon who removed my breasts - which normally one might have negative feelings about that, but she was so compassionate and has a wonderful personality. So, in the worst of times, God brought Dr. Eve to take the BEST care of me : ) It's been three years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had lumpectomy surgery; next month will be three years since I had a double mastectomy and then surgery to remove a staph infection... So that means it's been three years being cancer free - yippee!!! That's the BEST reason to celebrate : )

For anyone who hasn't had regular check ups, I highly recommend you do so. My cancer was caught VERY early and I didn't even have to go through chemo. Go get your mammograms girls : )

...and now to celebrate how I feel about YOU, here's a card I made using the fab sketch from Our Creative Corner:
