The Dog Lived (and so will I): Fiji Favs

Fiji Favs

I'm home. Safe and sound. Fiji is fabulous. So much to tell! But, I'm also tired. So just as a "Bula! let's talk soon" note here are a few favorite photos from the first few days:

The pool at the house we stayed in.

The beach in front of the property where we stayed

Local Villagers on their way home from church--they were happy to stop for a photo

Our front porch.

Tough, tough vacation.

How have things been with you all?

Recovering from my double mastectomy up her in Portland. The left breast tumor was quite large 10 cm, 23 lymph notes were cancerous and removed, the right side fanned much better small tumor, nothing in the Lymph nodes. Drains should be coming out Tuesday, I am well on my way to a perfectly wonderful recovery. Cancer Free!

Teresa,
Looks heavenly. Love the porch and hammocks! Are you back to reality yet? Isn't it funny how we have to rest up from vacations?

Comments mean you care. That's all I'm saying.

Why The Title

I hate and refuse to read/ watch/ acknowledge any story involving a dog--because I love dogs and the dog in a movie/ book/ whatever always dies. I can't handle that.

When I found out I had cancer I said to Chris (writer, significant other; in case there is a soul reading this who doesn't know that) "If I die, given that Seamus lived, you have to write the memoir "The Dog Lived." I love the irony. Seamus (our beagle) was diagnosed with cancer more than 3 years ago and was told (okay, right, I was told; Seamus still doesn't know) that he would live maybe a year. Instead he's cancer-free and well into remission. That would be the great irony of my life story--the dog lives. I don't.

Not surprisingly, Chris was not amused and did not want to write that memoir. Oh, and my prognosis is not at all that grim. So instead, in a rare mood I'm attempting to just put a positive spin on things. The Dog Lived...and so will I.

For Those of You Over the age of 35

It seems we've learned the age cut-off for understanding how a blog works (i.e. Chris or younger = you get it). So here's a few hints:

1) if you are new to the blog you actually start at the bottom (scroll down) for the first entry and then work your way up.

2) if you want to leave a comment, click on the "# comments" phrase (it will actually say 0 or 1 or 6 ...an actual number) at the end of each post (okay, "article" if the word "post" was too bloggy for you). A window will open with the other comments and a box where you can type in your comment. You don't have to have an account. Just fill in the "Name/URL" with how you want to identify yourself and then click on the "Publish Post" button.

3) comments are how I know you care. ;-)
