One Year Ago Today...Time to Celebrate

Wow...it's been a year! Time has wings! Hard to believe it, but today is the 1 year anniversary of my double mastectomy. So much has happened, and yet it still doesn't feel like it could have been a year. Still a lot to do though. Still in the process of breast reconstruction which will take the next at least the next 2-3 months, if not more. I'm still not convinced that choosing to go ahead with reconstruction was the best path for me, but I'm committed to it now, so have at it Dr. Halls! I think that my brother, his wife & I will go out to dinner to night to celebrate this milestone. Hmmm....where to go. While at dinner, I can irritate my brother with tales of my forays into cyber-fandom; wonder what the folks on the Bon Jovi, Chris Isaak & Michael Buble boards are up to??? I know...what a strange combination, huh? But I've also recently checked into Eric Clapton, Jack Johnson and Pink. What can I say...I like to listen to a musical buffet of artists! As a matter of fact, Rowland Salley, Chris Isaak's bass player in Silvertone, is a recent favorite. Check him out at www.rowlandsalley.com . He's very talented, not only as a bass player, but as a songwriter and a watercolorist. Speaking as someone who can't sing, can't play an instrument and doesn't have an artistic bone in my body, I can honestly say that I have talent envy. Maybe I need to start taking guitar lessons again? Hmmm.... Anyway, a nice little celebration dinner would be a great way to mark the occasion. Now if I could only decide on a place. Oh yes, that famous Mel decisiveness....NOT!
