peeperjj's Journal, 02 November 2018

It’s been two years since my preventive mastectomy today. About 10-14 days before I got the call telling me they had found three tumors but caught it early.

I mentioned it to a friend at the first of the week as well as to hubby and the kids a few times this week. Nobody said a word today. Hubby could barely stay at the dinner table for half an hour because his work meeting, then a day of fishing followed by 2 hours in the field after canceling plans with the kids and I was too tiring to sit and talk a bit. Ugh men!

I know it’s silly but being a negative person generally and having depression... it helps to celebrate the little things. It means a lot that hubby remembers but he never does. I remind him of birthdays and anniversaries and all for us, the kids, both sides of the family etc because it’s embarrassing that he can’t even remember his parents birth months let alone the date or year. He says it’s not important. Years ago I let him know exactly how important it was to me and the kids at least for our stuff. Agreed to remind him at least once a week before. I now give reminders a month ahead, 2 weeks ahead and a few times the week of. I put things on his calendar but he had me unshare them because he didn’t want his calendar clogged up with my stuff and kids stuff unless it’s specific plans that he must attend if he doesn’t want me yelling at him and being a bitch about it (his words not mine, but hey, you forget my birthday after 16 years of marriage and you deserve to be told that you should be more considerate and then sleep on your own darn side of the bed haha).

Anywho, with trying to keep up with his stuff, running his dad back and forth to the field, shopping, running to get more fish because my kids fish died, prodding the kids to get stuff done, a library function AND coming home at 9pm to cook while he sat and watched tv... I forgot about it too off and on. I planned a treat but forgot to get it haha. Maybe there’s a reason I forgot? I may treat myself to a snickers. Same calories but 20g less protein lol. Oh well! Just thankful to be happy, fairly healthy and cancer free for two years now! THAT is what matters. Just would’ve been nice for him or the kids to remember.

Thanks for reading and no need to comment or anything. I know ya’all are happy for me too 😁👍. Have a safe and happy weekend and take a nap for me! Game, practice, harvest, deep cleaning house... the list for this weekend goes on and on! I don’t see much sleep in my future!

The kids felt bad when I mentioned it today. My oldest is never quiet and they all got quiet when I said yesterday was my 2 year anniversary being cancer free. I kinda expect the 12 yo to remember with her age but she’s so concerned with everything else in her life she doesn’t think of anyone else. The middle normally keeps up with these things. I said about dinner with a friend before she has surgery and celebrating it with her and hubby kinda looked pitiful and said he didn’t even think about it and he wished I’d have said something 😳. Let it go and just said no big deal and that he gets focused on his work and I get it. He then started talking about work lol. I’m over it. I can be happy enough for all of us 😉.

I'm happy to hear you are celebrating with your friend. About 5 or 6 years ago, I had been cancer free for 15 years, so I planned a party for myself at a bowling alley, also celebrating my birthday. Everyone was encouraged to wear pink. Had a terrific time. A friends son worked at the bowling alley and was supposed to host the party, but at the last minute another employee took his place. When the new guy saw everything was pink he asked about it, I told him what we were celebrating and he told me that his mother had passed away from breast cancer! It was meant to be for him to be in charge of my celebration. Your anniversary is something to celebrate! Party on! 👸👍🎉
