Here's the final, never-before-seen (except January 18th, when I posted it on my Steemit blog *grin*), installment of my blog series about my breast cancer scare over the summer. When I first started putting this post together, I was still doing some heavy and happily legal drugs recovering from surgery, and I got lazy about... Continue Reading →
You can’t make this stuff up – Leaky is leaking again!
Seriously. I mean... ugh, I can't even. And it's not even from the same place. Plus, I've apparently popped a stitch (but that's not why Leaky is leaking). If you're squeamish, you may want to run away now. However, if you want to hear the "truth is stranger than... forget that, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS... Continue Reading →
Babble like a Buccaneer! September 19th be Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Spoiler for my next Lumpy & Leaky update – IT’S NOT CANCER! (aka my breast cancer concern)
I'm working on a monstrously-sized update, but my focus isn't great right now (thank you, pain killers! No, seriously - thank you). For the moment, as the title says, the spoiler for my next Lumpy & Leaky update is - IT'S NOT CANCER! I should have the final update posted next week, once Leaky has... Continue Reading →
Lumpy is happy and Leaky is healing aka my breast cancer concern
WARNING - This post was written while under the influence of some lovely, if somewhat ineffectual, pain meds, so I can't be held responsible for the content or coherentness of what follows. Because it's a bit difficult to type at the moment, given Leaky's new nickname is Ginormous, here's an actual Microblog Monday-esque, Reader's Digest... Continue Reading →
Surgery this week and Lumpy wants attention again aka my breast cancer concern
This might be the week I start to get some answers! Which is good, because my visit to the oncologist actually left me with more questions, specifically about Lumpy. But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself - first, a little update on all the fun since last Monday. Previously on "The Adventures of Lumpy... Continue Reading →
Running out of tests to run on Leaky aka my breast cancer concern
Okay, readers, fess up - who's the one who wished I'd live in interesting times? *sigh* Still not much to report since last week, but here's what's been going on - A little addlebrained. I can't believe I forgot to mention one of my crazy-making moments from last week! Remember how I said I finally... Continue Reading →
Good but exasperating update on Leaky aka my breast cancer concern
I'll start with the punchline first - even after the results of an MRI, I still don't have a frelling clue as to why Leaky is leaking. Now that I've gotten that out of the way (and technically, that could be my shortest Microblog Monday post ever), here are the specifics - "You spin me... Continue Reading →
National Book Lovers Day is August 9th 2017
First, for those following the ongoing saga of Leaky and Lumpy, I don't have much new to report, other than Lumpy still has a slight bruise that, given its size and color, reminds me of a lemon... and you know the saying about when life hands you them... *grin* However, after many phone calls and...

No News and Good News – a Quick Update on Lumpy and Leaky
Happy Monday, all! No need for warnings or short versions of today's post, as I don't have much new to report on this ongoing possible cancer scenario. Lumpy is still a bit bruised and sore, but the mammogram place called mid-week and cancelled my followup appointment. The reason? My biopsy came back NORMAL! The lump... Continue Reading →
Further Adventures of Lumpy and Leaky (aka my breast cancer concern)
First, thank you to everyone who commented with amazing messages of support last week. The idea for the post came to me while waiting at the mammogram office, but I hesitated hitting the "publish" button right up until the last second. I was worried if it was too much information to share publicly, and if... Continue Reading →
I Have My Father’s Eyes (and possibly his cancer gene)
A number of things happened in the past few weeks that have me wicked a bit freaked out about the possibility I have cancer. Since this is supposed to be a Microblog (not Super Heavy Duty Macro blog), I have a brief summary at the end. Click HERE if you want to skip to that.... Continue Reading →
