What a week I have had.  My emotions were up and down all week.  I got a call on Monday from one of the specialists I have been seeing. I had a lump removed off my ear and a mole on my neck also removed.  I was not home when the girl left a message for me to call his office back as soon as possible.  I called back Tuesday and the girl told me that the biopsy I had done in September was back and the doctor needed to see me. I told her that I had seen my family doctor 2 weeks ago and he had the results and already told me everything was ok. She got very mad and said that he had no right giving me the results and that he was wrong and I had skin cancer on my ear and needed surgery to have it removed as soon as possible. Then she said that they had booked me for Thursday to have it removed. I got off the phone and told Jamie what the girl had said.  We were both a little shocked. I will say I got a little depressed, I was very upset, here we go again. So off we go Thursday morning to the specialist to see what we now do for skin cancer on my ear. I was even a little teary going in, and hardly slept the night before. Just worrying !!!! Jamie came with me into the doctors office, when the doctor walked into the room Jamie right away asked him, does she have skin cancer now too?  Then the doctor tells us “NO” it is not cancer. Just!!!! Just!!! A tumour on her ear that we need to remove. Now we were both pissed!! We told him about my call two days earlier, how a girl from his office had told me it was cancer.  He did tell us after we told him what I have been through in the last year, that he would speak to his girl and he was very sorry that she had said that. So then we do surgery on my ear. I ended up with 6 stitches and a big scar on the top of my ear. But thank you God it was not cancer. Another crazy experience with our medical system. 😡

Then today (Friday) I had to go for a cystoscopy, because we have now found a small cyst on my right kidney, my only kidney. My urologist could not find any problems today and definatley no cancer.  So that is more good news. Now if we can just stop having these scares over and over. 👍🏻

Jamie and I have been taking all the grandkids for a shopping spree. Today we took Hannah all morning. And the this afternoon we took Austin, then went for supper. So finally we are all done and spent a small fortune on all of them. Lol lol. But it was great fun, and we made them all promise to take good care of everything they got. Merry Christmas to all of them, done with that job. We don’t have to do much for Christmas them all now. They are already done. I think I will buy them each something small and put it under the tree. 🌲

Our trip to Mexico is the next exciting thing for us to look forward to. I need to clear something up, I might have made everyone believe I bought myself a bikini , sorry but that is very very un -true, I have way to many scars and lumps and bumps to be wearing a bikini, these days. Lol lol. The itsy  Bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot polka dot bikini, is a song. I remember singing it when we were kids. But I did not buy a bikini like that. I loved all the remarks from everyone. But this Mama will not be wearing a bikini any time soon.  And there will for sure be no pictures of me in a bikini.  Lol. But I love you all for cheating me on to wear one. 👙

My family gets all the girls together and we do a cookie exchange, this is going on about 10 years. We used to do all the baking, but now we just do the exchange. So because the exchange is right after I get home from Mexico, my day tomorrow is going to be baking cookies. Eleven dozen to be exact. 🍪🍪 happy baking for me. 😊

Today’s saying : life is a series of tiny little miracles….be sure to notice them ❤️❤️
