The word of the day is....

pain.

Well, actually it's been the word of the past like 14 days. Or more. And I'm tired of being it. And I hate it. And it doesn't seem to want to go away. And it has fucked with my well-being. And my attitude. And my psyche. Shabu Shabu won't even make me feel better. Not even Chick Fil A.

I've been in a pretty bad mood most of today. Poor John. I told him. "I'm sorry I'm being such a stupid wench" and he said, "No, you're being a reaonably intelligent wench." Yes, I have a good husband. Except he has promised to let me introduce him to froyo, and he keeps breaking it! OMG Red Velvet FoYo could quite possibly help me feel better. 


Went to the physical therapist today. I'm of course very weak in my left leg. Right leg isn't much better, but oh well. I have some exercises to do. I have to do lab work tomorrow and then I see my PCP next Friday.

That' s all I feel like writing about.

First Blog

Thus beginneth my first blog with Blogspot. I am interested to see who will actually read/follow this blog, especially once I get it up and running. While I will be writing about a lot of things, I will focus on my life with NF and my life as a stomach cancer survivor. I know I am not the only person in this country with NF or who has had stomach cancer, so I wanted to start this blog as an outlet in hopes to find other people out there who go through similar things. Stay tuned for more musings and rantings. I rant a LOT. A LOT.

Incredibly Thankful

Dear Everyone: Your response to my "confession" blog was, for lack of a better word, overwhelming. The stories you shared with me via your comments or in private... they mean more to me than I can describe. It was very hard to "come out" as someone with an eating disorder. Anyway. I'm working through it. And I'm so grateful to have so much support. So I want to dedicate my extremely, overly sappy Thanksgiving blog to all of you, my readers, my family and my friends. To my family/(including extended and John's family): Thank you for being you. I know we Higginses have gotten stronger with the loss of Jimmy. It still hurts. We all still hurt. But we are stronger together. I know we don't always get along, but we are always family. And especially to my siblings- you all  mean so much to me. I cherish you and each of you inspire me in different ways. Anyway, I always reflect back on the fun times we've had and I know we'll make fun memories...

On Saying Goodbye: Leaving Boston after 17 Years

Dear Boston and all the people who have been in our lives: Thank you for the (just shy of!) 17 Years! What a beautiful city this is. It was such a privilege to call Boston home. You were worst of times (cancer, other health issues, losing Chaucer and Dante, job losses/ unemployments on both ends) but you were mostly the best of times (meeting the best people, having Oliver, completing advanced degrees, advancing in our careers, growing as people). You quite literally saved my life.. While some memories are quite triggering, they are reminders of strength and perseverance. And I am filled with thanks having been in the right place at the right time . Now here comes a waterfall of photos   Us in our early days here, circa 2008 Our graduations from Boston College in 2012 and 13 respectively  (I was pregnant and didn’t yet know in this pic!) Oliver’s birth in 2014 When i first moved here, I was not city savvy. I was not public transit savvy. And I HATED the cold and snow.  17...
