To the Tune of "Surrey with the Fringe on Top"

Jeeps and trucks and police better scurry
this kid's comin' home in a hurry
no more pokin', proddin or worry
'cause my chemo's stopped.

Watch me now and see what I'm doin'
Lots of things that I've been a savin'
Looking forward with anticipation
to escape this incarceration.

The weather is cold and the snow is nigh
I want the time to enjoy it all
Looking forward to things I have missed
Even doing the shopping mall.

So look world I'm comin' back
Just watch me bloom and grow
With thanks to my friends who love me
I'll be dropping in to say...hello.


Thanks to Mamma Clarke for putting pen to paper and coming up with these new lyrics.

I'm feeling good today, tired right now, but good. My biggest challenge these days is sleep. A quick onset of chemically-induced menopause really throws the body for a total loop. At night, it's like having restless leg syndrome but for the whole body...while you sweat. And then get chilled. Then sweat again. No combination of drugs seems to make any difference. I'll be in to see the doctor this week to see if there's something we can do.
Still, I'd take this over chemo, anyday.

Here's my latest fave flash mob (thanks again Momma Clarke), guaranteed to make you smile or cry, or both.

Much love,

  2. You are your own instant flash mob with those dancing restless legs and arms, the sudden sweats and chills. So imagine the tunes that go with the process. You can make it whatever emotional tone you feel at the moment. OK, so that doesn't solve the problem.

    Have you seen the flash mob on Halleluia chorus in Niagara Falls, ON? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXh7JR9oKVE
