The sun shining and the warm weather was awesome. I now officially have Spring Fever. The March flowers are blooming, the birds are singing away and the Bradford pears are budding. I love the "refreshing" feeling of Spring. It just makes me feel better. It makes me feel "cheery."<br /><br />On another note...........my heart is heavy for Japan. Wow they are going through so much. I can't even begin to imagine what this must be like. Yesterday on the news I heard a gentlemen from Japan say "they would take care of each other." That was such an amazing statement to me. And the people who are staying at the nuclear plant to work.........wow! they are doing this for their country, for their people, knowing that they are in extreme danger. Please pray along with me for Japan.<br /><br />Live, Laugh, Love<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-38832727017273472942011-03-10T11:21:00.000-08:002011-03-10T11:44:23.872-08:00It's been a whileIt has been a long time since I posted on my blog, but honestly live has been super busy. Since August 2010 I have faced many challenges, but am happy to report things are finally starting to slow down, Whew! I am grateful for that.<br /><br />Saw the endocrinologist last week about my diabetes and got good news. Finally my A1C is within normal range. I went from 15.6 to 6.4 since August. He said I was doing a great job at controlling my diabetes. Still on insulin. Recheck in 3 months.<br /><br />I had a F/U mammogram today and it looked good! Praise God! No CANCER! Yippeeeeeee! God is good! Another mammogram in September and if that is good we go back to yearly mammograms. I did see the radiation oncologists couple of weeks ago and he thought all was looking good. He will continue to follow me for awhile.<br /><br />Seeing the eye doctor at the end of the month and having another diabetic eye exam. Finally my eyes have settled down. There for a while I was starting to wonder. My eyes were changing so much (pretty much every 2 weeks). It was very frustrating. It honestly made life a little tuff. During the past 6 weeks they have stayed the same, thank goodness.<br /><br />I have so much to be thankful for and God has seen me through it all. I can not image trying to go through all of this and not have God. We had many conversations! My family and friends have been very supportive and loving. I am so thankful and so blessed. Praise God!<br /><br />In the mist of all of this, our oldest son got married and our my younger son got engaged - getting married in October. Ironically he is getting married on what will be my 1 year anniversary from having a lumpectomy. He didn't realize that until I brought it to his attention. The way I see it we will have 2 huge things to celebrate on that day.<br /><br />My God is an awesome God! (I love that song) God Bless!<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-60045139434979715272010-10-06T06:14:00.000-07:002010-10-06T06:28:21.083-07:00I had my surgery last Friday and am doing pretty well. I am starting to get cabin fever, so today the hubby is going to take me to the grocery store. Who knew that I would get so excited to go to the grocery store, I sure didn't. <br /><br />I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. Surgery went very well, but I must tell you that I was not prepared for the sentinel node biopsy. I did not realized that they had to give you 4 injections around your nipple, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! They do not give you any anesthetic for this. Hope I never never have to do that again. Honestly it was painful, but the pain was short lived, thank goodness. <br /><br />GREAT NEWS......lymph node biopsy came back negative, WOOT! Thanking and Praising God for these results. From here I will need 33 radiation treatments and chemo consult to see if I should be taking a chemo pill (Tamoxifen or Arimidex) for five years......yes five years. But that is better than doing IV chemo treatment, which causes hair loss and sickness. <br /><br />My road is still long, but I can and will do this with my head held high. I am very fortunate that the cancer was found very early. Praise God!<br /><br />Until we meet again,<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-620452071330762222010-09-28T13:56:00.000-07:002010-09-28T14:08:41.552-07:00I'm readyWell Friday is fast approaching and I am sooooo ready to get this surgery done and begin the process of moving on. I realize that the process make take awhile, but just getting started will be a huge plus. <br /><br />I honestly am not worried about the outcome. I think that everything is going to be ok. God is my rock and my strength. Speaking of rocks, at our church one Sunday (probably a year ago) our pastor passed out rocks to remind us that God is our ROCK. I still have that rock and I look at it most every day. Sometimes I pick it up and just hold it in my hand. It's a little reminder to me that God is there for me always. Is that not wonderful?? <br /><br />I have had a cold since Friday and today I finally am feeling much better, thank goodness. For awhile I was afraid I might not be able to have my surgery. But all is looking up.<br /><br />Until next time; Live, Laugh, Love<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-10660593281612239512010-09-25T05:23:00.000-07:002010-09-25T05:37:28.847-07:00UpdateThe wedding was beautiful and fun. We had a wonderful time. The weather was great. The lucky couple went to St. Lucia for their honeymoon. I'm jealous. They will be back late tonight.<br /><br />I had my Radiation Oncology appointment. The hubby and youngest son went with me. It was enlightening and encouraging. The doctor was super and the staff was great. They made me feel positive and were very caring.<br /><br />So I have decided to have lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. I will need 33 radiation treatments. I was so against radiation due to the side effects, but the doc helped me to better understand the process. Hopefully I have made the best decision for me. <br /><br />Surgery will be next Friday. I am ready to move on and get this behind me. I feel comfortable with all of it. It's kinda of funny, people will tell me that I am handling this very well. My response is that God is in control of the situation and has given me the peace to deal with this. They look so amazed. Don't get me wrong, I do have my moments, but they are very few. <br /><br />My diabetes seems to be in good control. That has been a challenge. It's life changing and I'm adjusting pretty well.<br /><br />Until next time............Live, Laugh, Love<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-7222783537938894722010-09-15T11:21:00.000-07:002010-09-15T11:48:50.570-07:00ExcitementYay, Woot! My Bonescan was good! Next week is my visit with radiation oncology and then on to surgery. In the meantime..............<br /><br />I have a wedding to go to. My oldest son is getting married Saturday at the beach. We get to leave Thursday and enjoy some sun before the big day. Everyone is so excited. I have never been to a beach wedding. I am hoping that the weather will stay good. (No rain please). In the meantime................<br /><br />my youngest son went to Cancun this past Saturday and was to fly back today. Well last night they canceled his flight and said that it would be Friday before he could get a flight. OHHHH no that will not work at all cause he is the best man and he must be at the beach Friday for rehearsal. What now??? Panic, panic, panic! My son was irate and apparently let them know it. In the meantime.............<br /><br />he finally got a flight out today with a different air line and should be in tonight around midnight.<br /><br />Ahhhhh.......thats enough, right? Right! <br /><br />Off to pack, dog to vet, then church and home to rest before tomorrow! <br />Lots of excitement. Hope your w/end is good and mine too, hehehe!Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-34654917804728624342010-09-14T05:28:00.001-07:002010-09-14T05:36:38.811-07:00One week ago today I received the news that I have breast cancer, WOW! Within 4 weeks I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and breast cancer. The diabetes has affected by eye sight which is very frustrating. I did finally get to have an eye exam and am getting new glasses and I can't wait to see clearly, YAY! <br /><br />The breast cancer is requiring test after test before any surgery will be done. I must decide between lumpectomy and mastectomy. I am steering away from having lumpectomy due to the need to have radiation. Radiation scares me a lot. My aunt died from leukemia last year which she developed from radiation. She too started out with breast cancer. If I have a mastectomy I will not need radiation. Decisions, decisions, decision. <br /><br />I had a CT chest and abdomen last Friday and it came back good. Praise God! Today I will be having a Bonescan and am praying for good news.<br /><br />This is quite an adventure. I am so thankful to have God by my side and a huge support system from family and friends.<br /><br />Keep me in your prayers, please!Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-30535151225566632032010-09-06T12:18:00.000-07:002010-09-06T12:25:51.590-07:00Tomorrow.....is the day that I get my biopsy reports. I am praying that they are negative, but am prepared for whatever news I get. I know that if the results are positive that I have quite a long road ahead of me. When I found out that I had Type 1 diabetes my mother was so upset and I said to her that things could be worse, I could have cancer. Not one time did I think I might have to eat those words. <br /><br />I have prayed for peace and comfort during this time and God has indeed given me that. I am truly at peace. I have not been over anguish about this. It is what it is. I am thankful to have such an awesome God. <br /><br />My guys (husband and 2 sons) are a little anguish. They have been so supportive about the Diabetes and the biopsy. My trip Friday to the hospital went very well. I could not have ask for better care.<br /><br />Until tomorrow............<br />Live, Laugh, loveSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-47701877137595552072010-09-02T11:41:00.000-07:002010-09-02T11:50:20.215-07:00Yet another surprise!I have yet another surprise in my life of 50 years. This 50 thing is about to get under my skin, hehehe. Anywho! I had an abnormal mammogram, back for magnification views...........unfortunately I have a suspicious area. So tomorrow is biopsy time. I had a total melt down yesterday and so did the hubby. My 2 boys are handling it pretty well. Finally late yesterday evening I had some me time and I spent it talking with God. After my little chat with God I have felt so much better. I am at peace with what ever comes my way. God, my family and I will do this together and I will be just fine. Keep me in your prayers, please.<br /><br />Live, Laugh, Love<br />DonnaSimply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-41598788214148174932010-08-30T18:48:00.000-07:002010-08-30T19:16:33.811-07:00Surprise!August 8th was my 50th birthday. SURPRISE! - A birthday cook out at my parents pool surrounded by family and friends on Saturday and again on Sunday. We had an awesome time. Then Monday my boys took me to Olive Garden. My meal was great, but the dessert was amazing.........Pumpkin cheesecake, yummy! (In my defense, let me say that I normally don't have dessert) My mantle is full of birthday cards and I got some really nice gifts. What a great celebration. I felt really special until..............<br /><br />Tuesday I had a follow up appointment with my doctor. SURPRISE! I found out that I was a diabetic, have high cholesterol, and have Vit D deficiency. I felt shocked and surprised! This added 4 new medications to my list.<br /><br />The next Wednesday I saw an Endocrinologists. SURPRISE! Not only am I a diabetic but I have Type 1 diabetes (Juvenile diabetes). Remember I just turned 50, so how is it possible that I have Type1 diabetes? Well that we are still trying to figure out. Needless to say I am now on Insulin (2 different kinds), checking my blood sugar 4 times a day, changing my eating habits and now I have a HUGE reason to exercise. My blood sugar numbers have been all over the chart. Follow up this week with the Endo to hopefully get some answers and probably more changes. <br /><br />Ho hum! This just goes to show you that not all SURPRISES are the same.Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-59765089764316228662010-08-30T06:07:00.000-07:002010-08-30T06:09:17.702-07:00UGH!Today is not going to be my day.....I felt it went I woke up this morning.

Although, I have really cooked over the years (mostly because I had to), but recently I have no desire to cook. I seriously wish I had someone that would come in and cook for me....wouldn't that not be an ideal situation??? I hate trying to come up with different things to fix. So I have been searching blogs for ideas. There are so many of you out there that enjoy this task and it seems to come second nature to you. I have found some really neat cooking blogs. They give you the ideas and the grocery list (if only I could have you close by to do the cooking, hahaha). This is a great thing for people like me and I thank you. <br /><br />Now if only I could muster up the desire, ugh!!Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-10893454694655447192010-07-29T05:12:00.001-07:002010-07-29T05:25:00.993-07:00His Mysterious WaysYesterday I was off from work, so I took my Mom and we went shopping. I had a coupon from Family Christian Book Store and I can always find something there. I was looking for a bag to carry my stuff for church and I find one that I really like. If you have ever been in this store you know that when you check out they have Child Sponsorship cards representing kids that need sponsors. The program is through World Vision. I have always wanted to sponsor a child but just never did it. Yesterday I ask a few questions and decide to make my move. I picked a child from Zimbabwe. Her name is Thenjiwe and she is 10 years old. I was so excited and felt really good about it.<br /><br />Anywho, as I was checking out and doing the necessary paperwork, the clerk told me that Thenjiwes card had been there for some time now, mostly because people usually picked younger children. He told me that the day before he and a co worker had prayed that some one would soon pick Thenjiwe. So he was excited that God answered his prayer and I am so glad that God used me to answer this prayer and to sponsor this child.<br /><br />Our God does work in mysterious ways. Praise God!Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-58788547921404828242010-07-15T08:45:00.000-07:002010-07-15T08:52:01.141-07:00Happy,....I must admit that I am happy as can be today, but summer usually does that to me.

It was awesome music to my ears. I have actually being doing this for over a month now. I love it......that special time gives me the opportunity to reflect on God's blessings.

I have officially lost 25 lbs, YepPee!! It has taken many months, but I have finally reached the goal. I am, however, considering losing 5 more lbs. It would be my safety net.<br /><br />And I am back in business with a cell phone. My old one died from Diet Coke poisoning. I never knew how much I would miss that thing if I didn't have it with me. But the worse part is that I lost all of my contact numbers and I had a lot. That will never happen again (hopefully) because I am going to use the Verizon backup plan.<br /><br />It's been really hot and humid lately and today will be no different. I truely would love to go home change into by bathing suit, go to my mom's and lay by the pool all day. And....read a good book, swim and/or take a nap in the shade.

After surfing the bloggy atmosphere I have decided that I need a much needed blog makeover. Changing my blog look is not easy for me. It takes time and patience (which I don't have much of). Plus my Internet at home is not the best. <em>Sigh! </em>I am thinking of having someone re invent my blog. Then I wonder about the expense. I have no idea how much a bloggy makeover is. And then I might just make some simple changes myself. Who knows? <br /><br />Psssssstttt!

My mood is not the greatest. I am a worry wart and a fixer. It is really hard for me to sit back and watch things happen and not jump in to try and fix it. But, for my sanity I must sit back and watch. Am I the only person who has this problem?<br /><br />Anywho, early this morning (7:30 am) my oldest son called me (way early for him to call, heart racing) just to talk. Awwwww! That is one of those moments that takes your breath away. I felt special. We had a great conversation and it was a good way to start my day. I needed that!<br /><br />I am at work now, feeling a little blah (mostly because I hate drama and I know the storm is brewing).

I heart their Mocha Frappe. Anywho, the lady in front of me was ordering and since I had my window down I could every work she was saying. The conversation when like this:<br /><br />McD: Welcome to McDonalds. Would you like to try a Mocha Frappe?<br /><br />Customer: No! I want four coffee's with Sweet & Low and cream.<br /><br />McD: I am sorry we do not have S&L, would you like Splenda or Equal?<br /><br />Customer: No I want Sweet & Low and cream.<br /><br />McD: What I am saying is that we don't have S&L, would you like Splenda or Equal?<br /><br />Customer: WHAT I AM TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THAT I WANT SWEET & LOW AND CREAM. ARE YOU NOT LISTENING TO ME??? (With hands waving out the window)<br /><br />McD: I am really sorry, but we do not have Sweet & Low. You will have to choose Splenda or Equal.<br /><br />Customer: Just give me Equal and cream.<br /><br />Customer drives around and pays.<br /><br />Next window to pick up her order, she tells them that she wants Sweet & Low and cream. Now the manager is at the window explaining that they do not have S&L.<br /><br />OH MY!!!!

Several people I know are struggling with cancer and it breaks my heart. My son's friends father has colon CA and they have only given him weeks to live. He has fought an incredible battle. My friend's husband has recently been diagnosised with esophageal and liver CA. In a matter of weeks he has gone down hill super fast. An old friend was diagnosised just last week with advanced colon CA. A co-worker of my husband's is having health issues and they are still not sure what is going on, but its looking like he has cirrhosis of the liver and it's pretty advanced. <br /><br />I am lifting each of these people and their families up to the Lord in prayer. I am praying for healing, comfort, peace. I know each of them are struggling with pain, weakness and many other health issues, as cancer is a mean disease. <br /><br />Perhaps that is why I am so blah lately. I feel helpless in these situations. I am and will continue to pray for them. I will never understand "WHY" but will remember that God is in control.<br /><br />Blessings to all..................Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-22776354352070855412010-05-12T15:22:00.000-07:002010-05-12T15:59:49.570-07:00Blah Blah BlahOk I admit it, I am a little blah today. It actually started yesterday. I can't pinpoint why, but you know when you get the blahs it always seems that everything else just plays right along. Innocent family / people hurt your feelings, you take things the wrong way, you can't get anything done on time or done right, you have no energy or no desire to do anything. I hate this mood and the thoughts that come along with it. Praying that tomorrow will be a better day.Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-11260090521111901182010-05-07T07:22:00.000-07:002010-05-07T07:34:54.275-07:00FridayI don't desire to wish my life away, but I am super happy that it is Friday.

I am pooped. We were busy at work, some strange and weird happenings. We have had a lot days like that recently. Busy is good, I call that job security.<br /><br />I am adjusting to changes in my life, slowly buy surely. My new motto is..............If I can't change it, whats the point in worrying about it? It seems to be working well for me. Also, I have been spending more time in prayer and relinquishing more to God. We do indeed have an awesome God!<br /><br />This past Sunday we started studying Genesis in Sunday School. Interesting thoughts from SS class mates. We actually didn't get very far in the first Chapter of Genesis. Who knew there would be so much discussion. I am so excited about this study. One of the question that was ask is- if God made man, where did God come from?? Ok, personally I don't ponder on this to much. I just accept that God is and has always been. What about you? Any thoughts?<br /><br />I am off to bed to read and then get a good nights sleep.Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7332233751146836847.post-90214279594206149132010-04-06T05:01:00.000-07:002010-04-06T05:17:38.770-07:00Dear You.......I will never understand why you feel the need to play dumb or tell little white lies or rearranged a circumstance to your advantage. It doesn't look nice on you! As my day goes along when you do these things, I become ill with you. Sometimes I say things I should not or think things I should not. Why do you do this? The only thing I can ever come up with is that you are always trying to make yourself look good and that you will do whatever it takes to accomplish that, even if it hurts someone else in the process. I wish you would just be yourself. Stop trying to make others look bad. It will come around to get you and is it going to be worth it. I doubt it!<br /><br />One particular day as you were up to your shenanigans, God stepped in and answered my prayer. I had prayed that God would help me to keep my mouth shut and move on, over looking your shenanigans. Praise God he did! Later in the day, God again stepped in while my mind was thinking of you and your desperation of attention and told me that I should PRAY FOR YOU! What! Seriously? Wow, what was I to do? Of course I will listen to God.<br /><br />So my friend full of shenanigans and desperation, I am praying for you as God has ask me to do. I am excited to see how God is going to work in your life. Oh have no doubt he is going to be working on you. My hope is that you will let him in and push the devil away.Simply Donna......http://www.blogger.com/profile/03433380783068917515noreply@blogger.com0
