Just a recipe on how to make lemonade ...

Hi! I am Elvi. I live, work and play in New York City. Initially I started this blog to share my experiences with the world about my breast cancer diagnosis and the chemotherapy afterwards, but now (knock knock on wood) I just write about my everyday life encounters. I believe, that every experience in life can be turned into a positive one, hence the title ... When life gives you lemons make lemonade! (And I've made lots of it already!)

Jennifer day :)

I forgot my camera at home today, but thought I'll post Jen's picture ... Here she is ...




I keep telling myself that something good is bound to come out of this surreal "experience". One of the good things in my cancer world that I can immediately identify is that the people who are normally really busy, have no time even for themselves will now make time for MOI and will even go out of their way to do some quality cheerleading! (positive experience #1)

Today was Jennifer day. I met Jen in college and have not seen her since graduating in June.
I never thought that the next time I'll see her will be my MRI exam ...
The exam was OK - not a big deal after all the injections, loud machines, red liquids and x-rays that I have gone through already. I am becoming somewhat of a specialist in these procedures. The weirdest so far was at the neurologist office. The nurse took out this plug looking thing attached to the electricity and poked my legs with it with who knows how many volts giving me shocks and tingles all over. She claimed it was a "grudge machine" for my previous sins or a lie detector - I could pick whatever I wanted and jump from the effects as high as I wanted she'd still proceed with it for about 25 times. crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I found out today that the office witch (W may be substituted with B) may stay for another year. This single fact is a sufficient proof for me that life is not fair - EVER. Let's do a simple math ... "There are 12 people working in an office. Two of them are able to perform the same work equally well, however one has difficulties following basic ethics like saying "Hello" or checking the volume control when in conflict. One is hard-working, friendly and helpful, the other is vicious, unfriendly and unprofessional who loves to advertise their workload ... Now then, "Which witch would you keep? "

Back to Jen - she quit smoking! (PE #2 )
BTW - she is single, smart and beautiful :)
(She'll kill me for this but if anyone knows someone, who is of opposite sex and has the same qualities please contact me ... ;o)
