I am back in San Diego/Mexico. This time I feel much more comfortable being here. I feel like I came back to a very special place that made me so much better. I was so excited to see my nurses who I got to know so well last time, who gave me a hug every time I came in for my treatment. I walked into the treatment room this morning..Good morning ladies do you remember me. They looked at me kind of funny, Cathy was with me. They said hi to her, we remember you, they said. I said I had no hair last time I was here, I wore a hat everyday. Remember me now ?  They both said yes but I could tell they didn’t remember me. After I was getting my treatment one of the nurses came to me, she said I am trying to remember you, do you have a picture of yourself when you were here last time ?  I said yes I do. I looked up on my phone and showed her a picture of me sitting in this same treatment room…..she finally said oh yes I remember you now.  You look so different. Then I got the hug I remembered from May.   

We also met a few people who were here last time with us. Nobody…..I mean nobody, remembered me. Luckily Cathy was here because they all remembered her. That finally helped them remember me.  It was actually kind of weird, but I guess I do look different with hair. Lol lol 

I also ran into some problems at the airports. First of all in Edmonton the Westjet ticket lady said. You look nothing like this picture on your passport, she looked at the passport then me about four time. I finally pulled the cancer card, and told her I had cancer and lost all my hair that this is how it all came back. Then she felt bad and let me go. But I ran into the same thing in Calgary, at both the Canadian customs and the American customs.  Then I did something even more stupid. When I was packing my suitcase on Saturday night. I decided at the last minute to throw in my suitcase a small manicure kit I have to do my nails with. But when I put my suitcase through the scanner they called me over. They said do you have anything in here you are not supposed too? I was like !!!! No?  Then they opened up my suitcase and pulled out my manicure set and went throught it. I Had A Jacknife In manicure set. Yikes !!!! They said they would have to take it and throw it away. I was ….. Yes yes take it. Take it.  Thank goodness they took it and I was on my way. Phew I dodged a bullet on that one. 

Tonight we went for a walk to the little gas station beside our motel and bought the power ball lottery ticket, hoping my luck has changed and maybe just maybe I could win. Then as we walked out the door I looked down and I saw the most shinny penny ever. I have not found one in like forever. I know it was my Angel BJ, sending me a penny from heaven. Totally made my day. ❤️ thanks BJ 😘

Today I did all my blood work, this is for the tests they do to see where my cancer numbers are. Tomorrow I see my Dr Castillo he will give me all the results, and hopefully fingers crossed my numbers have gone down. But I do know that they could go up for a few months before they start to go down. Especially after radiation. So fingers crossed and prayers sent up. I am hoping for all good news tomorrow. 😬

Tonight’s saying : Sometimes our lives have to be completely shaken up, changed, and rearranged to relocate us to the place we are meant to be.
