I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

Margie blew as hard as she could. The bubbles floated across the pavement and the activity was to keep her entertained while her big sisters and mommy shopped. Shopping trips were long and boring for a four year old and Margie’s nanny always had something planned to keep her busy. The limousine driver Mark, also helped, but Margie and her nanny sat on a park bench for blowing bubbles. After the magic of watching beautiful bubbles was over, Margie, Miss Sue, and Mark sat back in the car for ice cream cones. Margie had a perfect day of “shopping”.

Well finally I have had an eye appointment and receive new glasses on Tuesday! So happy, and just in time to impress my great grandson who turns one year old on June 6th! As for the rest of my family, they will probably be impressed I am still wheeling around, even though I’m now attached to an oxygen line. This last hospital visit was a bad one and once again I am reminded of how much my family means to me. Take care, stay hydrated and keep moving…😀
