I left a part of my heart in El Paso

Last week I had to take a trip to El Paso for personal reasons. Yes, it was very difficult to travel not even 3 weeks after surgery but I had to do it so I did. The week and a half was difficult not only physically but mentally. I know this will seem a little confusing to those of you who do not know what I'm talking about. I'm sorry for this. In a nutshell, it involves the months I went through before being diagnosed with cancer. One day, when the time is right, I will explain further.
I want to publicly thank 12 angels in El Paso. You listened to me, you heard the truth, you were offended by lies and justice was served. You have helped to stop a bad person from hurting others. You have helped heal a part of me that was broken. Blessings to you all. Thank you for joining me in my mission.
Aug 29- I, sadly, did not win the Mega millions. Bah.

Aug 28- My dad put up a hummingbird feeder. I have never seen Hummingbirds before and now they are everywhere. The nectar is like bird crack, they can't get enough.

Aug 27- Back to MD Anderson. My goody bag filled with supplies.


Aug 26- Me

Aug 25- Chelsea is my first name. This street is also where I was sitting in a restaurant when I got some of the best news of my life with 2 great new friends.


Aug 24- A little retail therapy to ease my soul.


Aug 23- Back in El Paso


Aug 22- On my mini weekend break back home I was able to attend Ms. Allison's home warming fiesta.



Aug 21- Being driven through the mountains of El Paso.



Aug 20- The hotel van that I rode a few times.


Aug 19- My Applebee's menu and room card. I guess since the restaurant is in the same lot as the hotel they find it necessary to flood the rooms with menus and pictures of their gross food.

Aug 18- Downtown El Paso.


Aug 17-First day in El Paso and I ate here. I hate Applebee's. This is not an exaggeration. I gave them another chance and they failed miserabley...again!


Aug 16- The beautiful view from brunch at the Galvez in Galveston, Tx.


Aug 15- Taking a few pictures of lines and scars that I needed for El Paso.


Aug 14- Getting ready for fall.


Aug 13-My new wig that will be returning to its home. It looked so cute on the model, I'm not sure what happened when I put it on my head.


Aug 12- My "cough pillow". I hold it against my insion when I cough and between me and the seatbelt in the car. The give one to all heart patients at Tx Children's.

Love you! I'm not sure if I know what you are talking about but I'm happy you did what you had to. I also have a couple of heart pillows ;)!

You sound so full of life that I am enjoying reading your blog. I brought a donated pillow home from the hospital after cancer surgery only mine was a plain rectangle shape. A heart pillow! I love it! I think cancer pillows should be heart-shaped, too!
