It started inland on San Diego’s Shelter island and ended up along the big bay in San Diego. It was a beautiful sunny fall day, with just a few wispy clouds in the sky. The race was point to point, ending up at Humphreys by the Bay for a Champagne brunch to finish up the event. I started near the front of the pack, and started at a reasonably fast clip. As the race thinned out, I found some runners that seemed to have a comfortable clip and stayed with them. The first mile was easy, and my time through the one mile checkpoint was great. As we turned the corner the sun was rising and you could see the masts of sail boats and the bay in the distance. It was truly an incredible day. I stayed with my running partners who were a little ahea...

There is a contest at Lydia’s Uniforms blog for the best of the top 25 nursing blogs. First of all, the pictures are of my two sons, Ryland (22) and Kingsley (14).  Ryland is pictured with the longer hair; Kingsley is my ‘little’ one with shorter hair.  The picture of all three includes my father, Jerry (84).  He has rented a condominium here every winter for the last 28 years to get out of the beastly cold in Iowa!  He stated this was the coldest winter in southern Florida that he can remember in all of those years.  My youngest son was watching the news on the computer last night and learned that our home town had just received another ‘last blast�...

Maybe Christmas, but it doesn’t last as long, costs more and may be a lot more work. The sun is shining today and bulbs are popping out of the ground, everywhere. I feel surrounded by life. Weeds are also showing their little heads and I believe if they can all survive a dark winter, so can I. Are the tiny fruits of nature stronger than I am? I would stubbornly hate to think that is true. I’m going to slather on the sunscreen, don a SPF 50 hat and head out to trim old growth from all the potted plants. My step will have to be purposeful and cautious because the ground is green with overgrowth, the bricks are slick but the glorious sun beckons. We’ve certainly had our moments this last few months as many are sti...

Would I wish for jewels, money or fame? Would I seek world peace, beauty or a knight on a white charger? No, because all those people who always said, “When you have your health you have everything,” well, they were right. Naturally, my first wish would be for health. I would wish for “it,” this “it” that so rudely has entered my life, to go away, get lost and disappear. What if God replied, “Well, my dear, you’re stuck with that body so figure out a way to live with it.” I would then have to reply to “her”, #xy!!//, many expletives after expletives which would not be appropriate here. I don’t see why we should put...

Life seems to never go as planned. One day you’re cruising along and BAM! You’ve hit a huge rock, seawall or landed on a shallow sand bar in the river. Suddenly, you aren’t going anywhere. Detours, side trips and dead ends can really mess up your journey, but being stopped dead in the water is the hardest of all. “But, I was going to do this, I was going to do that.” “Was,” “wanted” and “almost” don’t count as much anymore. We have to find a new, sometimes circuitous route to that destination or in some cases, we find ourselves on an entirely different journey. We go places we never imagined as a...

I’ve found a couple of videos exploring body image, self-esteem, sexuality, and popular culture related to the cancer. A group of ten patients have a peer discussion on their common issues and “pieces of our selves” in Body Image after Breast Cancer, and in Sexuality after Breast Cancer. (Both links are in the Real Video format, which requires a free player to view). Peer support can be quite helpful for breast cancer survivors, and a unique form is the sport of dragon boat racing. Dragon boats are traditional Chinese long, narrow boats paddled by teams. They’ve become more and more popular around the world. Along with the rise in competitive teams they&#82...

I've met her a few times and had the privilege to discuss her cancer story with her. How did you discover that you had breast cancer? What types of treatment were recommended?During a routine check-up, my doctor discovered a lump. He suggested a lumpectomy, but I spoke with a number of other physicians, including my brother, and they all recommended getting a full mastectomy to ensure that I wouldn't have a re-occurrence. After the surgery, the lump was examined and it was found to be highly unusual. Though it's not certain that the cancer would have come back, I don't regret getting a full mastectomy, and will recommend the same to my daughters if they develop breast cancer too. ...
