I was up late last night reading a blog. I never do that. But I read somewhere else yesterday about a certain fellow alumnus that had a blog re: a certain issue. Karla's in Amsterdam on biz--poor thing, and I miss the Belgian chocolate out of her, no matter how much she may enjoy it out there--so I felt I had to stay up and check this thing out.
Well I kept on reading and I got so inspired and shocked by the similarities, I blog-responded the writer. I never do that. So just in case she visits this space, and just in case others do, too, know this: I had my first post-chemo MRI a couple weeks ago. And it was great. Yes I was nervous and I don't know why cuz we knew the attitude to go in there with.
But let's be real.
And this is real: the results were great. Life is great. Karla is great. Love is great. And you know who/what/where/when/why else is great?
As we say w/the rabbi, as I say every morning, every night, a few times a day: el na ri fa na la, thank you lord for healing and continuing to heal me always, amen.
By the way, on the way home from that long MRI/results afternoon, we did what we always do to celebrate: pints of Guinness at Galvin's. Prescribed, I believe.

Thanks for showing up at my blog! I was a little nervous about offering my blog to the DePaul world, but I thought that there might be one person out there (like you!) who would read it and might be touched in some way by something in my story.
I started reading your story. I love it! I'm going to be late for an appointment today, because I couldn't stop reading it (and because now I'm writing you this note -- haha!). Your story is saved on my desktop and I'll finish reading it later. You are right--it seems like we have a lot in common. I can't wait to finish reading it!
Keep rockin'!
Mary
Thank you for writing your story. I stayed up 2 hours past my new bt bedtime tonight to finish reading it. It made me laugh and it made me cry. Thank you for sharing everything.
Here is my email: mary_cm@hotmail.com I'd love to hear from you or meet for coffee if you're ever up for it.
Thanks again!
Mary
