I never look forward to these because in my job I’m always busy, always on the move; the thought of sitting all day is not a happy one. But, there I was. Good part was that Mary was ... http://drdottie.com/2008/11/09/random-ramblings/ Miguel…….Scared the Hell…….Outta Me……..Again…….. About six months ago, I came home one night after working in school all day and teaching a university class at night; and I found a message from Miguel at the Cancer Institute. His message was that I should call to make an appointment. It was way ... http://drdottie.com/2008/09/01/miguel%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6scared-the-hell%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6outta-me%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6again%e2%80%a6%e2%80%a6/ Teresa and Elliott… Teresa and Elliott had a wonderful wedding in June. They were married at the Blue Agave Restaurant on the main street of Pleasanton, California. From my perspective, everything went exactly right. Teresa was a beautiful bride, Elliott a handsome groom. The bridesmaids and groomsmen all looked great, ... http://drdottie.com/2008/08/23/teresa-and-elliott/ Going Through Something… I’ve been experiencing something. I don’t know what to call it, maybe a depression, but not really. Patti could have told me it was coming. It happened to her daughter. You can’t describe it. You’re angry; you’re sad; you’re scared; I guess you’re grieving. It doesn’t make sense ... http://drdottie.com/2008/07/13/going-through-something/ Uneventful… Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about…Uneventful…three days off, no drama, no problems…doesn’t get any better… I am feeling a little crazy right now though because I’m listening to a playlist on my ipod that I never tried before. Jay loaded all this music on the ipod. I usually listen to one ... http://drdottie.com/2008/05/26/uneventful/ A Shot in the Darkness… I haven’t had or maybe haven’t taken the time to sum up the Race for the Cure. It was a great day. The weather was just right, and the one-mile-fun walk was perfect. We all met downtown. Somehow, we missed Kim. I think that’s because she ... http://drdottie.com/2008/05/18/77/ Hatless? Comments Laura Says: April 21st, 2008 at 5:31 am All weekend I have been checking your blog. Did she post anything yet? How about now? I’m glad that you have been experimenting with your hair - have fun with it! You’ll know when it is time to ditch the wig! ... http://drdottie.com/2008/05/08/hatless-comments/ Hatless? I left the house without a hat yesterday. People, not just women, can be obsessed with their hair. I can remember being obsessed with my hair. Whatever the style was when I was young, I could never seem to get it right, at least, not as right as all those ... http://drdottie.com/2008/04/20/hatless/ A Teresa Day… I took a day off from work; Teresa did, too. She arrived at 9:00 a.m. First things first…Starbucks. Then we went to my place just for a little bit. I wanted her to hear the children’s book I’ve written about J.J., me, and cancer. It’s meant to be ... http://drdottie.com/2008/04/03/a-teresa-day/ All’s Well that Ends Well…  It must be difficult to be the significant other of a cancer patient. The person with cancer must be consumed with herself: the discovery, the tests, the diagnosis, the surgeries, the treatments, the side effects. She probably puts on a great act around others in the ... http://drdottie.com/2008/03/27/alls-well-that-ends-well/
