10. Except for tRump, I'm pretty good!

Jan 2018

I've resolved most of my depression and anxiety (and a bit of an addiction to pain pills), and even my physical issues, cancer treatment-related and otherwise, are responding well to treatment. And by treatment, I mean strategies that seem to work for me, which include Epsom salts baths, chiropractor, time outside in the sunshine every morning, and reading. I even stepped outside my self-centered existence to do a few small good deeds for others (and boy is that worth it).
This will be the year that I get back to my annual NYC trip to visit with family, and also, the year that I get my breast reconstruction. My mastectomy was August 2016, but there were so many complications afterward that it had to be postponed.
