As many of you know I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis in 2009. Sarcoidosis. I hate that word. As a nurse it was always so foreign to me. Only briefly mentioned in my VERY thorough nursing class. I had patients with it over the years but we weren't directly caring for that disease. These patients were forever showing up late for their appointments with the surgeon and stating "My Sarc - yes, a 4 letter word that I sorta pegged them with as being crazy and too lazy to say the whole word - My Sarc was acting up". Acting up? How does Sarc act?? Um hummm, whatever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or we also had the drug seekers - ends up being me stereotyping those patients - "I know you gave me Lortab #20 two weeks ago for uncomplicated laproscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder), Dr Mac, but my Sarc was acting up so bad and I had to take them all up sooner. Now my incision hurts and I need more."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get a life!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then my years as an ER Nurse...oh my...how many times did I hear "My Sarc is acting up."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2001</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started experiencing flu like symptons, joint pain, occasional fatigue - which went along with those flu like symptoms, some days worse than others. Some flare-ups worse than others in days of suffering - ranging from 3-4 hours to 4-5 days. Yep, I had the flu more than ANY of you guys!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I blamed it on anything, worked too hard around our house - in the garden way too long - too many 12 hour + shifts in ICU - then I decided that it was all in my head. In 2004 the pain became so severe that my Dr said OK lets check some things out......lab after lab after lab = I DON'T have a clue why you are so inflamed, (sed rate thru the roof, joints hot to the touch) must be rheumatoid arthritis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Off to a wonderful Rheumatologist who did every test known to man and finally decided that I had one of the "over 100 different types of RA that are Rheumatoid Factor Negative" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OK Then! A diagnosis. I could treat my pain with Aleve and a hot tub and carry on.....until the "flu" would hit me out of no where...BAM...get me a bed, I'm going to die.....feverish, but hey NO fever....well I am always sub-low.....of course I am running a fever, where else would these chills come from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then that immune system of mine - drive by my house or the building I worked in with a virus of any type and by crackies you can bet I had it, soon, and 10 times worse than you had it! LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave up my great 3-12 hour weekend night shifts in ER because I blamed everything on night shift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then this eruption of a small area in my scalp started. Inflamed. itchy area that would dry up but never go away and only flare up again for 8 months. Was at my family Dr for my 3rd virus in 4 months and showed it to her. She made a horrible face and said that must be checked. A dermatology appointment in 2 weeks? OH NO I AM DYING!!!! Those are 6-8 months down the road!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She treated me for a couple weeks with topical steroids and it was no better so she wanted to do a punch biopsy. She led me to totally believe it was psoriasis. The next week my RN daughter was in from Ga and went with me to get my results and we were going on that day for a day of play.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Dr said "You have Sarcoidosis!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was totally in a daze. Shocked out of my socks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked well does that have anything to do with all my joint pain I have had for 8 years? I don't know, probably, here's a few print offs on Sarc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We leave the office, get in hallway and I look at Robin and said "I only thought Sarc affected your lungs and black women?" She said "That's all I know about it, too."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two fairly good nurses were clueless about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They started running tests and found out my lungs were full of little nodules but my breathing was still barely compromised. Short of breath on exertion but I had labeled that as FAS - yes that's what I heard a lot of patients being diagnosed with over the years "Fat A** Syndrome!! Of course that's why I was short of breath all the time! LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward 5 years and I have remained EXACTLY the same as I was when diagnosed! Praise God!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lesion in my scalp is still there just exactly as it was, only it has ate a hole in my scalp thru the cartilage/meat/muscle and into the bone of my head, .......I will explain this further down below.....my breathing is exactly as it was, joint pain maybe a tiny bit better. Flu like symptoms very very very often now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HOWEVER, around January 2014, maybe a little before, I started to experience incredible fatigue and new onset of muscle pain that was so severe that I could hardly tolerate it. I worked 3 - 8 hours shifts a week as a home health/ private duty nurse that was very laid back and yet it took everything out of me. This too shall pass, I kept telling myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a couple Drs visits and nothing really pinpointed that could be the culprit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have spent the entire year +, at least 13 months, with this fatigue and muscle pain that can't be explained. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a very busy person and fight thru the pain and fatigue most days but I've been miserable. I whine until I can't stand to hear it any more, myself. I am so sure that my family is totally sick of it, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing helps, only briefly, I mean as in 12 hour Aleve may give me 1-2 hours of pain free relief but still no energy. Let it be known I have never been prescribed anything for pain, OTC so far in this journey. So what the heck is wrong with me?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No it's not Cancer (not that i know of) and for that I am grateful and yet I am so ashamed of the whining. I have a daughter who fought a long hard battle with breast cancer and never muttered a complaint. She is fine right now!!! PRAISE GOD, AGAIN!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had two friends that just passed away from cancer and they were so gracious and never complained. Why do I complain so much? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I am just a big baby!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually, I whine, not really complain....I know, same difference...sorry!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I whine because this illness is a nuisance. A thorn in my side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A disease that Dr's know little about.....bingo.... could that be why us nurses knew so little about it???? I think so!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A disease that doesn't ordinarily end your life, not that I want that to happen, but maybe why so few Dr's actually know a lot about it. Don't get me wrong I have the BEST family Dr there has ever been!! She admits that she doesn't know a lot about "Sarc" (I have just now started abbreviating it myself) and she has left it up to me to find a specialist at any of the local universities ie. UVA or Duke. Well I tried that a couple years ago and all the Dr's listed as sarc Drs had either retired, left the area, went into research, or really don't "MESS" with sarc! Yes, office personnel said that exact word to me. (She didn't want to hear about my "Sarc acting up, either!) I gave up because at the time I was floating right along with no changes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I had a chest Xray last fall and it is exactly the same as it was in 2009!!! Whoop whoop!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why do I feel so bad every day of my life?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I often get online and research Sarcoidosis and there really isnt a lot about the disease on there. Lot's of forums and frankly after reading a few of their stories I decide that I am tough as nails and am fighting my way thru this crazy disease on my own. If I continue to work hard, in my 4-5-6-7 jobs that I think I need, because I WANT, and continue all my fairly strenuous hobbies that I am obviously doing the right thing and keeping myself from breaking down and having to go on steroids or chemo drugs and I don't want to do that due to all the complications associated with those drugs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was placed on Planquinel in 2009, still on same dosage, which is max dosage. Is it what has kept me the same as far as my lungs and skin lesions? I dunno! My Dr doesn't know? Has it been my activity level? I dunno. I would say it has definitely helped. I am not a lazy person and it has ripped my spirit this past year feeling so fatigued and sore from head to toe. Down right pisses me off!! I do not do well with my wings clipped!! Here I go again, whine, whine, whine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really believe the whining comes from the unknown....what is wrong with me???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So last night after dinner where Danny and I discussed my situation, yet again. (I know he gets tired of me discussing how I had a spurt of energy and painted a room, planted the entire garden, scrubbed the vinyl siding with a toothbrush after doing the entire months laundry and baked three cakes one day....then the next day....I sat on couch all day and couldn't move until 5 pm and then I have written 2 chapters in my book and scrubbed two bathrooms and made a gourmet dinner in two hours flat!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got online and stumbled upon the greatest article ever about Sarcoidosis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They wrote this article about me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.sa-uk.org/Symptoms.htm">Symptoms of Sarcoidosis</a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WOW! That was an eye opener!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't cry this much when I was first diagnosed and my family Dr and I got into a very heated emotional discussion over the phone and she basically told me she didn't give a rats rear what I had been diagnosed with that she knew nothing about sarcoidosis and would not be treating me.....and then she asked "Geeshhh, are your crying? Are you kidding me? What is there to be crying about? What a baby!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
True story!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say I have a new Dr!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There I was with a new freaking diagnosis and my lungs full of sarc nodules and only a dermatology NP to treat me.....so float your own boat Becky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get online and most the literature was what is sarc, how it affects you....it won't kill you....(should say it will only make you wish you were dead, but it didn't) .....then some of those "crazy people" who don't have a very high pain tolerance on the forums. Ha thay don't have the same sarc as i do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until January 2014 I have dealt.....I still deal....My head has a hole in it that is very well hid by my hair that I am fortunate to still have, do not want Methotrexate mainly because of my hair falling out in that area and you guys seeing what I am talking about. Won't be pretty!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mornings where I wake up and wonder the first thing 'how am I going to feel today?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have thought that there must be something else wrong with me besides sarc. Surely it didn't treat you like that, I mean in my 13 years with it (well 12 years before the harsh symptoms appeared)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was mostly tolerable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there it was in BLACK and WHITE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Becky has <a href="http://www.sa-uk.org/Symptoms.htm">THIS</a>!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pay attention to the part about the muscle pain and fatigue and the skin lesions eating thru to the bone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what the rest of your life will look like, you are not crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well maybe I am crazy...a crazy S-A-R-C patient!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why did I feel the need to share this?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You guys know I am an open book.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed this blog post for my reference as a timeline marker and I want to explain why I whine about being tired, sore, etc etc yet tell about the things I do on a continuous basis...ie. painting, gardening, all my jobs and hobbies....yet complain about my woes.....it's not me it's my disease!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apparently I am just playing out the characters in the classic textbook Pulmonary Sarcoidosis 101!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I know what is probably going on....yes, that does make it more tolerable, I think??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you know, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to go on that hunt for a SARC Dr. Please let me know who you go to. I know there are a few of you sarc patients out there! A few on my Facebook friends list. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prayers are as always very welcomed!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God Bless you all and thank you for taking up your precious time to read this!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Whew this is going to be a long post, where do I begin??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, I will begin by telling you that I married into an awesome family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well back up a bit here Beck......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was all but a wee pup my mom and dad rented my husband, Danny's, grandparents home and lived there for a few months while we were building our house. His grandparents were Eldee and Etta Moran. Etta had passed some years prior to this but Eldee had just been killed when a tractor turned over on him on that farm. I think this was 1972.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bed above is my king size bed that we sleep in now and I have been re-doing my room for a couple weeks...ready for new paint now and it is mostly clean and somewhat organized....YAY!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted that picture on Facebook with a little story about how the pillowcases came from my great grandma and several different pieces that were so full of sentimental value were used. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am getting old enough that I want to use my pretties instead of keeping them hid away and never enjoyed. This sparked a lot of interest from some of my family on Facebook and we all learned more about the history of some of these items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWguyI1ANF8lS_aZLExcZTUQxgyGOi98PRb_nF7J-I0_0_U1_Wja3VjMu3c9yGrjuJPVMBNHnRyDO4jClVu_nIjpt2-f-dmHoHLEuc_39Vm-x7sxjkdcqvSATvmHXamsi3_N_D0zpUQw/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWguyI1ANF8lS_aZLExcZTUQxgyGOi98PRb_nF7J-I0_0_U1_Wja3VjMu3c9yGrjuJPVMBNHnRyDO4jClVu_nIjpt2-f-dmHoHLEuc_39Vm-x7sxjkdcqvSATvmHXamsi3_N_D0zpUQw/s1600/photo.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well today.......Danny's first cousin, the beautiful Beth, called me. I haven't spoken to her in too many years to even count other than her Facebook stalking me...hahahaha!!! She called to tell me that she has something to give me that was her and Danny's Grandma Etta's. It is this BEAUTIFUL bedspread!!!! Etta made this bedspread from cotton flour sack strings that she collected from all the flour sacks that she used!! GOSH-a-motorcycles that was a lot of work!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course what makes it even more special is that Beth chose to give it to me!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep there were one or maybe three thousand tears shed today! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I heard a snif snif on the other end, too. Especially when she said it would look great in my bedroom on my bed. I said "No way! That is going on my other bed that Danny made me!" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4MHn4qJ9F-XnXffSEt81LVpl9VdbnczbAyElMFE-Jtd4gmxxKChfeT5xAhvW9ztJMy3fcc-DKK3XpsfA6bOsw0aIqZU9TXzk9OI1jyX-kiRrj4eU8gXiW7egU8_reRqrlQGGAdbsuyQ/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4MHn4qJ9F-XnXffSEt81LVpl9VdbnczbAyElMFE-Jtd4gmxxKChfeT5xAhvW9ztJMy3fcc-DKK3XpsfA6bOsw0aIqZU9TXzk9OI1jyX-kiRrj4eU8gXiW7egU8_reRqrlQGGAdbsuyQ/s1600/photo+(2).JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she got to hear the story about this bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Danny and I were married September 25, 1976.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right before Christmas his Mom saw him rambling around in their meat house and he had drug a bunch of stuff out into the pasture field. She hollered at him and asked what he was doing. He said he wanted the old bed that was stored in the back of the building to use as a pattern to make him a bed like it. She laughed!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can remember that day so vividly, I can't remember my own name nor what I had for lunch but I remember that day very well!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was 14 years old!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This bed is in the guest/grandkids room now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been around for over 38 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO....... Danny comes home today and I tell him all about the bedspread. I mentioned that I wished I knew more about the bed that he used as a pattern. It was a 3/4 head board that was OLD at that time. Boy if I only knew about all the things you could do with an old bed back then, it would be right here in my home today with me!! He proceeds to tell me that it was an old spool bed that belonged to Aunt Mandy. I must inquire with some family as to exactly who she was but I am thinking my father-in-law, Raymond's Aunt. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then he tells me that that bedspread will be very fitting for his bed that he made because the walnut lumber came from a tree that Grandpa Eldee had given him a few years before he died. The tree had fell on their farm. Raymond and Danny sawed the lumber and then stacked it up to dry for a few years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then Danny took him a bride.......she needed a bed......then a bedspread......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it appears this bedspread has come full circle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My heart swells to full capacity!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank You, Beth!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can't wait to travel across the state to visit with you to bring her home with me, soon, really soon!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope all you Moran's understand how much you all mean to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love you guys so much!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I must go polish that walnut bed my boyfriend made me almost 4 decades ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God Bless!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Seems that I broke another promise to you guys and myself.</div>
<div align="center">
I promised I would be back with new and exciting tricks up my sleeve but life got in the way.</div>
<div align="center">
Too many things to even mention on here other than several days were consumed with family time as we had a death in the extended family. The sweet little four year old son of my son in laws sister passed away in North Carolina. Not sure if they will ever know what happened to him but we can rest assured of where he is today.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I also took on two new part time nursing jobs, one home health and one is as school nurse sub for our local school system. I spent a couple weeks orienting to both of these positions and now I am on a 13 day break! Am I accomplishing things around the house? Not really!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am, however, working on an organizing binder to help me keep my head on straight.</div>
<div align="center">
Between photography and two nursing positions I don't know whether I am coming or going! I know that's nothing new! I will try to share pictures of my binder as it comes together. Just having it started makes me feel more organized already! I never knew it was so much to slapping a notebook with a calendar together....GEEEEZZHHHH!!!!</div>
<div align="center">
I have been working on this one for over two weeks and it's no where near where I want it.</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I have also, along with the binder, started putting together a budget. I do not plan to work these three jobs for long :-) </div>
<div align="center">
I have never ever ever ever made or stuck to a budget and never even knew where to begin with one. I have always been one to pay something as it comes due as the money comes in for it.....budgeting ahead was not in my vocabulary! This system only partially worked! Yes, on occasion there have been things pushing the deadline.....well on more than one occasion! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have been doing my homework so to speak, consuming many many hours studying other peoples ideas that they have shared for making and sticking to a budget. WOW have I been enlightened! I feel sometimes as if there is no way that I can actually do this. Then I put it on paper and it looks as if I should be rich! I have always sung the words to that song there's too much month at the end of the money! On paper not the case tho! If I can keep my fingers out of that money until it goes on a bill or where ever it was allotted via the budget to go I will be fine. </div>
<div align="center">
I am trying to set up a zero balance budget. You know where every dollar that is going to come in has been earmarked for a certain destination....ie. mortgage, titheing, car, groceries......sounds easy but it's not easy to just sit down and remember everything that will come up in a years time to spend your money on. Dear Hubs is actually on a salary so his paycheck is the same each and every week, which is a huge plus when working on a budget. He also has an expense check that fluctuates each week. I have decided that it will be best for us to use his paycheck and for me to set an exact set number of $$$ to contribute each week and put anything extra that I make in savings or to pay off a debt. His expense check will be put in a savings acct to save up for him a new work truck, or down payment on one. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Thank goodness we only have one store card that will soon be paid off and we have no other debt beside a car and home mortgage. I had that pretty little Jaguar paid off and no payment for 6 1/2 years but felt like I needed something bigger and traded in December for a huge Chevy Traverse gas hog money sucking money pit! Yes, that has been a thorn in my side for all these months. Enuf said? I have to figure in car repairs in the budget now that was never an issue in the past.<br />
<br />
So wish me luck as I get these new organizing tools underway and start to see a more organized life!!<br />

I have a void in my life and need some structure and this blog is discipline for me. So many things have been going on in my life that were certainly blog worthy but I still didn't take the time to slow down and post about them. I will regret that one day....I use this blog as my memory bank to look back and remember what year it was that there was a manhunt in our neighborhood, the season I made the best pickles or a special sewing project. My computer brain is failing me but my virtual "computer" brain is always here floating around somewhere in cyber land. </span><br />
<br />
I will start out today with an explanation of why today and then try to catch up with a regular routine of blog posts.......<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">WHY TODAY:</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: black;">It's Monday.....need I say more?</span><br />
Actually I am in a rut with no motivation....well maybe a lot of motivation but no real gumption or energy??? Not sure what my hold back is....INSPIRATION! That's what I have been missing. I know I have the <a href="http://www.'s/">www.'s</a> and Pinterest and all sorts of inspiration out there but if I try to use those my ADD kicks in and I sit down to look up a new quilt pattern and before you know it I am baking a new cake or learning how to clean the grill the non toxic way! <br />
<br />
Today is Monday and it's a fresh start to my week and to my new life of living a cleaner life......and in cleaner, I mean: <br />
<br />
A cleaner more organized house.<br />
A closer walk with God and all things HOLY!<br />
A cleaner diet and lifestyle.<br />
A cleaner schedule......in EVERYTHING, work, hobbies, etc etc etc.....streamlined if I may.<br />
A cleaner life in general.<br />
<br />
(and not necessarily in any particular order were they listed)<br />
<br />
It all goes hand in hand....a closer/cleaner life in any of these aspects will compliment each category tremendously. I think about how cluttered my mind and body and house and schedule and life are and wonder how I have time for God. If it wasn't for all HE has done for me and my family and a very persistent preacher who holds me accountable.......well I might not even make it to church regularly!!<br />
<br />
So I have some great big goals that will obviously have to be broken down in little bitty goals.....like maybe on a daily basis ;-) I know me! I also have this STUPID Sarcoidosis and it wreaks havoc on my body when ever it wants to....(Maybe my cleaner lifestyle will help those bouts become more and more infrequent?) So be prepared for a lot of posts for my journaling of this new life one little piece at a time as I march thru it all one little piece at a time. Who knows maybe some of you will want to join along and share tips and ideas??? That would be great if not just remember me in your prayers as I start out on living the rest of my life.......<br />
<br />
Now as I get started on this beautiful sunny morning I will start by becoming a "list maker"!<br />
Once my list is made I will start on my journey but I will leave you with this......<br />
<br />

Beautiful Buffalo Mountain, Floyd County, Va. <div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never thought I could ever type these three words:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My photo of the mountain was from clear across the county but includes so many elements that depicts Floyd County perfectly, at least that's what I was told.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won first place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won the cover shot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Her and her Mom went dress shopping and she picked out a dress EXACTLY like this one for $478</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was NOT happening, so we went to our favorite fabric shop in town, Schoolhouse Fabrics in Floyd, Va, and picked out fabric and began the construction. She couldn't have been happier with her dress!!</div>

I have drooled over this little Dream Home of mine for a couple weeks now, and you all know how I love campers and could so live in one in my mind, but I must put him away today for yet another year. However, as of lately I have felt as if I was living in a tiny house or a tiny camper! I have accumulated so much junque....yes "Junque" is a way nicer description of it than my husband gives it! Makes me think it is all worth something with such a pleasant title to it!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have jumped on my bandwagon to change things, for good, not a New Years resolution, in fact I started it on Friday December 28th, even before if you count searching for inspiration and ideas.</div>

Just to share my newly/recently finished painted kitchen island. I had dropped a pot of spaghetti with sauce on the floor in front of the fridge and it went everywhere and on the vintage linens that are hanging here, I washed them immediately but just got them pressed and back up yesterday. I have been going full force at this reorganizing/purging deal. Danny is not sure what I am smoking but he loves it! He comes home to a foyer full of garbage for the dumpster each day and is very eager to carry it off for me. Not sure why I had to beg to get the kitchen garbage taken off? hmm?? </div>

This little Rabbit Cage was the second area hit by Storm Becky. My father-in-law made this for us in about 1985, made each of his 5 children one for Christmas and I think I am the only one who still uses them. Why not, I ask? You should have seen my foyer after I cleaned this out! Danny had just left with a truck load of garbage from another area and came back home to yet another....he just glowed with pride! This has always been used as a telephone area and housed phone books...yes, all the way back to 2002.....shut up....no comments.....and plastic grocery bags. OK I am not sure how many million plastic grocery bags were in there but I am sure that I could smother one of the islands in the Bahamas with my plastic waste.....for that I am very very sorry. I pledge to do better and always carry and USE my homemade grocery bags from now on!! I even found a vacuum cleaner in here that I do not remember owning. I know, I know my house was that bad! Out of sight and out of mind!</div>

The doors on this were wire only but I had a great idea to cover the inside with my FAVORITE fabrics, Tufted Tweets collection...can't wait to get some sewing room time to make something else from that fabric stash! Now this little cubby houses casserole dishes and baking pans! Clever, no? I have a strong urge to paint this white but the dearest hubby will chop me up for chicken stew if I did but next spring I do plan to update the natural finish on it. Maybe go a bit darker with some cherry stain, he agreed to that one.</div>

Here is my first project that I pounced on. My "basement" no I do not have a basement but that's what I have nicknamed this area due to using it to store items that would ordinarily be stored in a basement. This is the hallway from my kitchen to the master bedroom and is a straight shot to my bed. My side of the bed to be exact and each morning I woke up and my eyes hit this eyesore area first and I vowed it would be tackled first, and it was. I went to Target on Friday and found these awesome handled tubs shown below and came home and went to town on this area. Shown above are part of my nice collection of Sam Toft prints....<a href="http://www.amazon.com/16x20-Crossing-Ducks-Print-Poster/dp/B004NEHNI6/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1357231351&sr=8-8&keywords=sam+toft+prints">I have a new one coming today</a>....I have vowed to buy one a month until I get all of them that are available, they are so cute and cheery! Danny said they look stupid....MEN!!! The new one will go in my kitchen area cause it has ducks in it!! teehee </div>

Yes this is organized, very very very organized.......VERY! I keep empty canning jars, canning supplies, Foodsaver and it's supplies, etc etc etc in this corner.

I used this cute little ladder to hold my late Aunt Eleanor's hand embroidered towels and to hold my aprons. The enamelware bucket holds my homemade goats milk soap, pretty and functional.

I also purchased this shelving paper at TJMAXX and lined the shelves and used some to cover a little cardboard box that now houses the handmixer and get this......the beaters are also in the box!!!! No more searching thru the utensils to find the beaters!! I'm so smart!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was just a little taste of what's to come. Soon, I will have covered my entire house in reorganizing/purging. I forgot to mention that I have a truck load of Goodwill stuff packed up ....yes, it's in the middle of the kitchen floor but so be it!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
******</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now I want to share some other way over the top excitement.....I have a new Grandbaby , Caraline, on the way on or before 1/15/2013!!! I have mentioned Lillie getting a new little sister a few posts back and that time is upon us. I want to ask all of you to join us in praying for this little booger to get off her butt and turn head down so Robin will not have to endure a Csection. As a nurse she knows just enough to be scared to death to be awake for the surgery! Please and Thank You!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*****</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now as you all know I am a nurse and you have been with me the past many years in and out of jobs......you all know I really just want to be a housewife but that is so hard to do in this tough economy and I have a champagne taste,,,,,,you know the rest of the story. So I go back into the partime work force tomorrow! PRAY FOR ME!!! I am excited tho about this, 12 hour shifts are for the strong nurses but I can do it and it is private duty in a nice little gentlemans home only 2 days a week.....if I tell myself that it's ONLY 2 days a week I will be fine, right? I can still do my photography....which I need to catch you up on some of my recent shoots, that were awesome. The money is good and needed to replenish the savings acct since I depleted it all this past year. The GOOD LORD ABOVE did provide for me to be able to not work and be there for Leslie and to that I am eternaly grateful. So now I will pay it back. I do not want for anything at this time in my life except my bills paid and a few sam toft pics mentioned above and a nice little cushion in savings......I will let ya know how that goes!........possibly not so good considering I just bought myself a new car.....well it was time as I have had the jaguar shown in my sidebar for 6 1/2 years. I needed something with a lot more room so I got a Chevy Traverse like <a href="http://gtcarlot.com/colors/car/29483737.html">this one</a>. Not this one but just like it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hey, If I have to work anyway I might as well get there in style! Also plenty of yardsale room....did I say that? LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully you guys will see some great things out of me as part of this "non-resolution/resolution" is to share with the world all my projects so I am held accountable! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy and prosperous new year to all of you out there in blogland!!</div>

All three of my babies shown here, L - R, Ellie Mae, Belle and Karo along with our buck Sawyer Brown were brutally attacked last night and killed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a terrible masacre that has hardened my heart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The two spring doelings were spared because they were in a seperate field. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All my girls were bred for spring babies, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This means no milking in at least a year and a half unless I find a bred doe soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure if the attacks were made by coyotes or wild dogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sad.......</div>

.....and she said I do have breast cancer and all she said was it was very aggressive breast cancer.", Leslie poured out so blatently from the other end of the phone line. </div>
<div align="center">
(Leslie is my 31 year old, age 30 at the time) </div>
<div align="center">
This was on a cold rainy day, February 16, 2012.</div>
<div align="center">
The day I thought my world had surely came to an end.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Fast forward to today</div>
<div align="center">
November 19, 2012</div>
<div align="center">
.........</div>
<div align="center">
Today was Leslie's last cancer treatment!!</div>
<div align="center">
She endured a bilateral mastectomy in March,</div>
<div align="center">
6 rounds of chemotherapy,</div>
<div align="center">
breast implant surgery</div>
<div align="center">
and today finished up 28 rounds of daily radiation treatments.</div>
<div align="center">
WOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
.........</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This past 9 months have been a roller coaster ride of lows....way down low....nope even lower than that.....</div>
<div align="center">
and highs....very high highs!! Higher, higher.....HIGHER!!</div>
<div align="center">
When you can reach out and touch God, then you are at the right level of high!</div>
<div align="center">
However, God was right by our side at all points along the way, the lowest of places he was there to lift us all up and at the highest points he was still right there beside us as we rejoiced for His works!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Leslie's faith in her Savior can not even be described in words. Not from me anyway, I am a writer, blogger, motor mouth (as my dearest calls me so often) and photographer. I am a blogger and facebooker and I am very transparent. Yes, transparent! That's me. What you see is what you get with me. I don't hide anything. I have always gotten in trouble for that little flaw but I still bear all, tell all, share it with everyone is my motto! Don't get me wrong I can keep a secret when I need to, unless it is the secret of Christmas gifts for my children, they need to know asap what I have gotten them! LOLOLOL</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
God really does work in mysterious ways.</div>
<div align="center">
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason even though as a human I question his plan very often. Then out of the blue He comes through with a subtle explanation of His plan in the funniest of ways so I keep my faith in him and trust and lean on his power thru it all!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
..........</div>
<div align="center">
Leslie's amazing support group has been such a big help to her and all of us.</div>
<div align="center">
We all gained a brand new church and an awesome church family thru this disease.</div>
<div align="center">
(possibly to be considered one of the HIGHEST points along this roller coaster ride)</div>
<div align="center">
The new church's pastor came into our lives from out of the blue and is such a close friend and spiritual leader. We all love him and he has been right by our sides from the first Sunday after her dreaded call from the Dr. Danny and I were led to attend this new church and we haven't missed a Sunday since that gloomy weekend in February.</div>
<div align="center">
I am pretty proud of that accomplishment. </div>
<div align="center">
Fighting Ole Satan off can be pretty hard some Sunday mornings but we know what a blessing always comes from our Sunday morning service at Slate Mountain Presbyterian Church!</div>
<div align="center">
We are thankful that Leslie and her family are there to worship with us and our sweet Morgan, all under one roof! That makes a Mama happy, ya know!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
..........</div>
<div align="center">
Leslie has always been loved by so many people, I don't think the child has ever had an ememy in her whole life. Her friends and family have showered her with so much over the past 9 months, food, cards, prayers, love, company, gifts, benefits, money, prayers, etc etc etc......</div>
<div align="center">
and more prayers!</div>
<div align="center">
Yeah, she likes those prayers!!</div>
<div align="center">
We like her to be prayed over, too!!!</div>
<div align="center">
There have been people in her past who she had not seen nor spoke to since school and they came in jumping thru hoops to help wherever they could. </div>
<div align="center">
Family, same way, some that we never get to see have sent cards, gifts, prayers, etc etc.</div>
<div align="center">
Some that we never thought cared at all about us little people have rallyed together for a greater good.</div>
<div align="center">
Some, on the other hand, who should be there totally gave up on us and chose not to honor the family oath. Leslie does not deserve that treatment. Those people have been tossed to the wayside and are no longer burdening my life. I have way to much living and negative people don't have any room in my life.</div>
<div align="center">
Tired of wasting time begging for love from them and now I just continue to pray for them to see the light one day. I just wish they would stop talking about us in the mean time....that's all I have to say about that!</div>
<div align="center">
There have been so many in our extended families who have been brought closer together for one common bond, Leslie! For that I am eternally thankful!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
..........</div>
<div align="center">
Now that her treatments are over, she still has some minor cosmetic surgery and a port to be surgically removed someday, but her big job is to remain cancer free for 75 years!!!</div>
<div align="center">
Help me to continue to ask God to take care of my sweet Leslie and her little family!</div>
<div align="center">
She has so much to live for and she is a fighter and a winner!! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Thanks to all of you who have had any part in this battle!</div>
<div align="center">
May God richly bless you all!!!</div>
<div align="center">
Robin, Leslie and I will be celebrating tomorrow!</div>
<div align="center">
Big celebration!!</div>
<div align="center">
Big!</div>
<div align="center">
Huge!</div>
<div align="center">
BIG!!!</div>
<div align="center">
love you guys,</div>

.....about these kiddos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That they are at the perfect age to get creative with a photo shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That they enjoyed it, despite being hungry...lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That they are just about the cutest stinkin kids I ever did see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That Colton loves photography, as evidenced in him taking my old camera and just starting to shoot while I was doing a solo of Emma!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He said he was going to be my assistant!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think he has potential!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was just a small sample of this shoot, plenty more where they came from!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now just trying to decide which ones to frame for my wall???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I now have 8 shoots lined up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

See, my husband who was going to send me to Tybee Island for my HUGE Birthday in June, felt sorry for me because I couldn't find anyone that was available to spend a week with me at the beach, so he decided that he would just buy me a new Nikon for my Birthday!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh Happy Birthday to me!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone and everything has been captured on film since then.</div>

....who has ever cut <a href="http://www.lesliesbumpyroad.blogspot.com/">her</a> hair, in all of her 30 years, and I wasn't about to stop now!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has had one chemo treatment 2 weeks ago and her hair was starting to fall out really bad so she asked to have it clipped really short, we did that today.</div>

Isn't she beautiful?</div>

I couldn't remember if I had already shared this picture of all of us in pink on the day of her surgery. I told her we had quite the party and we really wished she could have been a part of it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She didn't laugh!</div>

I don't want you to think this is a "woe is me" post. I am so over that, for the most part ;-) </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">As you know my daughter, Leslie, <a href="http://www.lesliesbumpyroad.blogspot.com/">http://www.lesliesbumpyroad.blogspot.com/</a> recieved her diagnosis back in February of breast cancer. </div><div align="center">That's the day our world as we knew it fell apart. I thought.</div><div align="center">The Dr told her it was "very aggressive" and that was all I needed to hear. </div><div align="center">As I posted before, I cried and cried for many many days and nights. Did you know that you really can run out of tears? I did! Almost a relief to not have anymore! </div><div align="center">Ok, Ok, I do still have some left and they surface occasionaly, hey I am a girl!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">My heart felt as if it was broken into 72 pieces and each one of them was all ragged and lifeless. </div><div align="center">~</div><div align="center">~My heart broke as a Mother, you know we do not want our children to suffer and try to protect them from suffering, at any cost. </div><div align="center">~ My heart broke for Leslie, I did not want her to have to endure the emotional and physical turmoil that any cancer can bring into ones life.</div><div align="center">~ My heart broke for Danny, he must have felt the same way as I did because he's her father.</div><div align="center">~ My heart broke for Robin, her sister, who lives 6 1/2 hours away and wants to be by Leslies side as much as we all do, 24/7.</div><div align="center">~ My heart broke for Leslies husband and children. I can only imagine what they must be thinking. Oh how they love Leslie!</div><div align="center">~ My heart broke for Leslies friends and extended family all over the globe, she is one of a kind and everyone loves her!</div><div align="center">~</div><div align="center">Now about that diagnosis......</div><div align="center">To wrap it up in a nutshell....</div><div align="center">She has Stage IIa Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Tumor was Grade 3 and it is tri-negative. </div><div align="center">(Google that one, I dare ya!)</div><div align="center">Found out she had 5 tumors in the left breast and one enlarged lymph node that showed up on the MRI. The surgeon wanted her to have genetic counseling and be tested to see if she was the carrier of the best cancer gene. It was negative. That was the only piece of good news that she recieved for a few weeks. Every test seemed to end in adding a new grey cloud to her already rainy forcast! We handpicked her surgeons and even her anesthsiologist (CRNA) was a close friend. (pays to know people in the medical field) </div><div align="center">Dr S, general surgeon, wanted that lymph node biopsied prior to surgery and of course it followed suite and was positive for cancer. Why would we think it wouldn't be? </div><div align="center">So last Monday she had a bilateral mastectomy with left axillary disection and breast reconstruction, plus a port-a-cath inserted. That's a huge mouthful that means she had both breasts removed and some new ones started, and 6 more lymph nodes, 7 total, removed from under her arm. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">~</div><div align="center">Surgery was only 6 1/2 hours! ONLY!</div><div align="center">She was away from us in the operating room and PACU for 8 hours. We were all there for 12 hours the whole family and our new Pastor Jeff.</div><div align="center">Funny how God works, huh?</div><div align="center">I have known this man for about 23 years but never really knew him at all. He did not know me, I only knew him by him being in our local law enforcement, currently as Chief Investigator.</div><div align="center">Robin had seeked his spiritual guidance during her loss of her still born infant a couple years ago and he was available to her thru emails and I think Facebook. (she lives 6 1/2 hours away)</div><div align="center">So when Leslie was diagnosed, Robin sent Jeff an email asking for her to put Leslie on his prayer list. He said "She is already on there". From that minute forward Jeff has went above and beyond his calling to be there for Leslie, Travis and their children, Danny and I and all the rest of our family! He spent 12 hours in the waiting room with us, he has visited her everyday but one and we will excuse him because he had court that day ;-)</div><div align="center">We have all started going to his church and it is, well, what can I say other than AWESOME!!!!</div><div align="center">(That's a whole other story about our new church) </div><div align="center">No one, who wasn't there at the hospital, will ever know how much his spiritual guidance has helped us ALL to get thru this. </div><div align="center">He has brought our entire family closer to God than we have ever been. At least I think I am speaking for all of us......that seems to be the topic of many conversations anyway!</div><div align="center">Leslie's 8 year old daughter said today, </div><div align="center">"Jeff sure does know how to say a good prayer!"</div><div align="center">The first Sunday we went to his church he preached on prayer....when to pray, how to pray, where to pray, what to pray about and so on....</div><div align="center">I learned so much that day about prayer........and I have learned so much this week about the power of prayer. Leslie has had prayers going up for her from all over the world.</div><div align="center">God answered those prayers this week.</div><div align="center">The surgery went beautifully, she had a couple very painful days until they found out which pain medications she could use, but for the most part she has been a model patient. I haven't seen anyone in my career as a nurse undergo that same surgery and do so remarkably well so quickly!</div><div align="center">She's a fighter!</div><div align="center">God's handiwork was also evidenced in the pathology report from the surgery, the cancer was only in that one lymph node that we already knew was positive. The rest of them were clear!!! </div><div align="center">WOOT WOOT!!!</div><div align="center">To God be the glory!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">~ </div><div align="center">Leslie still has a long hard road in front of her, if you dared to google tri-negative breast cancer you already know that. She will start chemo in a couple weeks, she will have 6 rounds, one round every three weeks. Due to the type of aggressive cancer she will also have to have radiation. She met with the oncologist prior to her surgery and he told her she should be able to wrap this thing up around Christmas 2012! </div><div align="center">With God, family and friends by her side she will get thru this!</div><div align="center">There has been a tremendous outpouring of love and affection from way too many people to mention each by name, once again from all over the world!</div><div align="center">Locally there has been a mealtrain set up for people to bring food in to Leslie and her family and there has been a name in the slot each and every day since her diagnosis! People are so awesome in times like this! Having a hot meal for her family is so appreciated by all of them. </div><div align="center">This also hits close to home and makes me feel so ashamed for not helping out a lot of other people in need when I could have. I will do better about that from here on out!<br /></div><div align="center">~</div><div align="center">Now lets talk a bit about Facebook.....</div><div align="center">Leslie, Robin and I have been Facebookers for a few years now but never have I loved it more than I have since the diagnosis. The evening prior to her first visit with a Dr about the lump she found, I was about to explode. I sent leslie a text and asked if I could post it on Facebook, she said "Yes, but please tell everyone what's going on so they don't think I am having marital trouble." LOL No marital trouble......you should see how Travis is doting over his bride, waiting on her hand and foot....he even shaved her legs for her yesterday!! LOL I am so proud of him!</div><div align="center">Anyhoo, Facebook has brought out a sisterhood of supporters for Leslie that we could have never rounded up in 20 years without it! Family that we haven't seen in years have all been in touch with us in one way or the other, be it cards, visits, posts or comments. Facebook updates from us during the hospital stay kept everyone posted, many were sitting on the edges of their seats waiting on the next update.....very long day for them at home or work......not so bad for us at the hospital because Pastor Jeff was entertaining all of us! And he said we were crazy? </div><div align="center">These Facebook friends and family have been the ones who are cooking meals in their home and bringing them to Leslies family, they are sending money (people that don't even know Leslie but are friends with us or someone else that knows her. She is on every churches prayer list for miles and miles around! </div><div align="center">The internet, not Facebook but Flickr, was the connection for Leslie to recieve a handmade quilt from a total stranger from Los Angeles!</div><div align="center">WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">God is good, all the time!</div><div align="center">All the time, God is good!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18319782161332634827noreply@blogger.com4
