Blah Monday

I am so tired of thinking about Cancer and Chemo....and feeling yuck all the time
And figuring out medical bills and insurance....it makes my head hurt.
I want to feel good again and talk about work, and vacations and cook a big meal and have family over.
Last night I went and  deleated most of my cancer "bookmarks" on my pc - I kept 3 and thats it...
I am tired of thinking about it, reading about it,  and all the what ifs!  I am finding it hard to go to my favorite cancer online forum because there is a whole lotta bad news on that forum...
And my favorite cancer blogger is seriously ill from a liver resection surgery and a c-diff infection.

So I am taking a break from all the cancer info on the web.
I am going back to reading my travel forums, fun blogs......and cooking & real estate linkys.
I might even update my farm on facebook.

The one thing that *really* bugs me though are things like a facebook conversation between some of my friends the other day. One was concerned about lowering her salt intake, and another piped in with "Eat all the salt you want! We're all going to die of something someday!" I responded with " 'We're all going to die of something some day' is a fun philosophy until your doctor uses the word 'prognosis' and discusses the statistical probability of your being alive in 5 or 10  years. Then, making minor dietary or lifestyle changes doesn't seem so onerous anymore.'"  Sometimes it is nice to throw a wet rag on a whine and let people know how blessed they are to have their health and to take care of it.

I guess I have a low tolerance for that sort of thing right now.   I promise to pick my personal whines more carefully in the future.

And I miss my hubby !
