Ok, I am really stretching the whole blog per day with this catch up but I have an explanation! I caught a cold that decided to knock my feet out from under me and hold me down this week! Seriously! Baritones would have killed to have the depths my voice plunged! I had that sexy, scratchy voice thing perfect...interrupted by coughing spasms! And so I was not only having a hard time finding something to smile about but also writing about them to.
But there was one good thing this week. Every day I have been sick, a friend / classmate of mine has called me every day to check up on me and see how I was doing. And another friend / classmate was so kind and went to get me some water from the store when I was just about out! So while the past four days have been pretty nasty...I was able to smile over the fact that I have such kind and good people around me! Fortunately, while I am still congested and coughing, my voice has almost returned to a normal register and I am slowly able to sleep a little more each night. So this cold is slowly on it's way out and I can jump into my last week here hopefully with some renewed energy!
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.

Feeling Good!
