Wow

This is the face of a 192 year old tortoise, named Jonathan, the oldest known living land animal. Jonathan was born in 1832 and has lived through the reign of 39 U.S. presidents.

At nearly two centuries old, Jonathan has seen the world change from the light bulb and the first photograph to airplanes, space travel, and smartphones, all while calmly grazing through time.

They finally listened to me and they postponed my surgery! FINALLY!

At Dallas Morris's Celebration of Life today.
Wore my Bling, trying to sparkle. Not that Dallas would care, but he knows I'm a sparkle girl, so he'd probably have a big laugh that I did that.

I have been going through a cancer journey. I have been posting on my personal page. I should be posting here, too. I may go back and start posting all of my posts from the last 6 months to catch you up to date on my journey and so on. It is not over as I have not had surgery yet and I see my cancer surgeon on Friday. I see my reconstruction surgeon on Monday. I will have more information soon.

I have had many CPR classes over the last decade but was never told this…..
Have you ever thought about it ❤️
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A rarely good post that can't be shared often enough:
1.
Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.
2.
You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.
3.
Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..
4.
Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.
5.
How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.
6.
But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.
7.
Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment
8.
Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.
9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.
Instead of posting jokes, you're helping save lives by spreading this message.

One of my favorite pictures. I am in my late 30s or early 40s.

I want to express my gratitude for the house I and my brother inherited! It is not really my house, and I've spent too much time complaining about that. But this house is wonderful! It would make a perfect house for a family. It is just not the perfect house for me. This house has been a saving grace for me. I don't know what I would have done going through years of grief. Now I am facing a year and a half of cancer care - chemo, surgery, etc. I don't know what I would have done without this marvelous house to provide for my care. It has been a container, a protector, and a companion for my life over all these years. I am now blessing this house. I am saying my gratitude as often as I can for this house. Thank you, Mom, for this wonderful gift! Bless you, Mom!! Thank you, God. God knew what she was doing keeping me here through all this time! Blessings abound! ❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜
