Just because I'm so on top of things...

Can you believe it has taken me 3 days to post my results?! Geez.
So who has 2 thumbs and good biopsy results??? This girl!!
Let me tell you how it all went down.
I make it through my first week of student teaching, barely I might ad, with a terrible blunder I have yet to post! I leave school to meet Mark at the surgeon's office. I make him pit stop at the store to pick up some flowers for the Lady in the Red Shirt. I feel bagels and cream cheese are probably not appropriate at 3:30 in the afternoon (although, they would be for me of course!).

I seat myself against a side wall and my attention is immediately drawn to an elderly couple sitting against the wall to my right. She's complaining that the pictures hanging on the wall opposite them are askew, and he's telling her there is nothing he can do about it and he doesn't like them anyway. So they're sitting there carrying on back and forth (loudly) and she starts itching her hand and says 'what does it mean if my hand itches, that I'm going to run into luck?' and he says 'no! it means you're dirty!' HA!! Seriously. In the mean time another couple just a little older than me come in and sit down on the wall to my left, under the askew pictures. The old man then starts asking his wife if she thinks the girl behind the counter spent any time on her hair that morning....that it doesn't look like it but that seems to be the style. Unreal he is, but trying to be funny all the while. His wife is a little embarrassed and asks what he did with his hair that morning, to which he removes his hat to reveal balding with little hair on the sides. And she says, that's what I thought, and he says, I've got more hair than that guy over there (pointing!) (who was completely bald and completely heard). So I'm dying on the inside and sneak into my purse to jot down notes so I can blog about them later and he says loudly, that girl over there is writing a secret. And I said to him, yes, TOP secret...because I'm with the FBI, and flash him a smile. I've always wanted to be...so why not pretend right?!

The elderly lady finally gets called back and the old man turns to me, looks directly at me and says, I don't know why you're here young lady but I hope you get good results...and like St. Nick he was gone in a flash....angel?? maybe!

Finally we are called back! Deliver the flowers to the Lady in the Red Shirt, who wonders what her husband will think when she brings them home...tell him they're for your scheduling genius and a family that appreciated it!

Waiting...waiting....Dr. walks in. Your results are good!!! I think he actually explained what insignificant things they found with the biopsy but I was too busy falling in love...will you marry me? I look at him dreamily. Okay, so not really since Mark is in the room but I did hug him overwhelmed with joy! Oh the relief! Oh the answered prayers! I think I just might have been the happiest girl on the planet at the moment. So he says he did try to remove all the calcifications (yeah, I'm pretty sure you got them all!) and we'll do a follow up mammogram in 6 months (can't wait) to see if there are any new developments. So we are praying that there are not. It's funny because we talk out and the nurse is standing there like she's waiting for the news, so I give her a little happy dance with the good announcement. Mark comments I'll probably be laughing and smiling the whole way home and I didn't disappoint!

But as I celebrate this incredible news, I also am very saddened and aware of the many women, mothers, daughters, mothers, wives who that very day somewhere in this world got the news I was thankful not to hear. So friends, continue to be involved or get involved for this fight against breast cancer. It's not enough to self-test yourself and be proactive we need to spread the word, sign petitions to take change the age of mammograms and get involved in raising funds to find a cure. And more than anything pray God's comfort and strength will be with the women and their families who are fighting this disease.

Thank you all for your emails, gifts, words of support and prayers. I would not have been able to make it through these past few weeks with my sanity if it weren't for you!! Love ya!

For those wondering...I will probably continue with this blog although probably not nearly as often as I was....still adjusting to working and it stinks!! Having a blast with the kids and truly loving my time at school but me and mornings don't get along, never have, never will. Since I'm such a big baby and require a lot of sleep to not rip peoples faces off I have to get to bed early which means not as much time for writing. But I will keep you up to date on all my funny stories and will post soon my 2nd day blunder. Oh the humiliation!
