Do you ever get the feeling someone's following you....???

It might be Papa Payday...haha...I could put an album together of pictures of Papa and his camera out following Austin (and I even have several pictures of him taking pictures of other people taking pictures of Austin). Heehee. It's been pretty entertaining watching this guy do a 180 since becoming a grandparent.

I am feeling really well with surgery recovery. Still having a tough time adjusting to how in the heck I'm going to sleep with half of my body feeling so weird, but other than sleep...feeling pretty darn good! I have been very very busy and enjoying every dang minute.

Austin and I joined my girls (Mom, Aunt Stinky and Aunt Boog) at the Paleo FX conference in town this year...lots and lots and lots of yummy samples...we love our snacks! We hit the coconut oil jackpot with some awesome potato chips. Austin wouldn't stop grabbing the sample cups off the Jackson's Honest table (at least he's cute, right?!).

Totally stalked my favorite Paleo author, Diane SanFilippo so I could send a pic to Jonathon while he was out of town in L.A. Balanced Bites is one of my fav books and Jonathon completed the 21 Day Sugar Detox (yes, he survived 3 weeks without ice cream or beer). Austin however, was not as impressed and skeptical that she was going to steal his potato chips.

 

 

Tried to unsuccessfully sneakily catch a pic of Mom's paleo crush, Mark Sisson (p.s. he's the 65 year old guy behind me, not the hotter paleo guy behind Austin). haha. A bald lady and a kid screaming that he wants a cupcake are not well equipped for sneaking around anywhere...especially a paleo conference.

In my opinion, this paleo lifestyle has got Granny Annie looking much less 'granny' these days!! ha!

SOOOO EXCITED...I finally got to get my hands on my one of my very very best (and definitely smartest) friends Seemay!!! YAY!!! She has made attempts to visit me twice now from far away Seattle and we have not been able to see each other in person because either she or I was too sick. Yeah, we seriously facetimed each other in the same city after she traveled across the country to see me a couple of months ago because I was neutropenic and she was running a fever. Boo. 

I was so proud of her and Auntie Maaya for not only just finishing, but kicking the Austin 10/20's butt. I ran in to a few breast cancer survivors running the 10 miles (they were running, I was on a curb cheering with my bald head obviously noticeable shining) and I could really see myself getting out there (maybe not to run 10 miles, but out there doing something exciting) very very very soon. Woohoo. 

Are you jealous of those BEEF shirts???!

There's soooo much more that I've gotten myself into this week, but lastly, a little visit to the Easter Bunny. haha. Austin was so excited to get a sucker when he was done, but this bunny only gave colored pencils. He was not happy about that at all. 

Last but not least, had my checkup with Dr. Jim, my oncologist...

1. No final date on my visit to the out of town breast cancer center, but I will be visiting there sometime in the next 2 weeks before my next appointment with Dr. Jim

2. He was really happy and impressed with my recovery. He couldn't believe I'm driving and carrying around my 30 lb toddler and just living my life 3 short weeks post-op. I'm not going to lie, I made him examine Righty. haha. Just kidding, he was going to examine her anyway, but it was weird to have a breast examination without a breast.

3. We reviewed my pathology reports and the cancer in my breast was triple negative. That's the bottom line. There are greater details on this, but in the end, I am a patient with Stage IIB triple negative breast cancer that was resistant to AC/T treatment...I am going to receive additional post-surgical chemotherapy treatment and radiation...and I have no idea exactly what that chemo treatment is going to be or for how long I'll be in it to win it...

Geezo. This is the short and edited version of what I've been up to this week and I'm tired just shortening it and editing it :) Time for a WIN THE DAY nap.

WIN THE DAY! 

Love
