Italy Photos, Part 2

By phoebe marie -
Love the colors. Love the flowers in the windows.

Sunlight through poufy trees.

Random beautiful art on the sides of random buildings.

There is not a bad doorway in all of Italy.

Swirl.

This white church was an awesome contrast.

Statues everywhere.

Trevi Fountain.

Now sure why, but I LOVED this...

Little girl playing in the fountain at the end of our block in Rome.

Rome hotel room.

Baggu backpack was perfect - made it easy for mum not to lose me!

Light fixture in our hotel room. Gorgeous.

Some guy and his cross.

Adorable little produce shop.

LOVE shutters.

So much amazing color and detail on every building.

The moustache on this statue is 15 feet across. So you get how huge this whole  monument was.

Bits of the Roman Forum.

I love their streetlights.

And their statues.

I forget what that round place was called.  Love the bridge, though.

Streetlamp!

Stripey curtains blowing in the breeze.

Smallest church in Rome. Seriously.

these photos are so magnificent! seriously! they have such great elements - well composed and professional so they look like they came out of the best travelogue guide anywhere, and also have your personal touch and reflection of your eye. I am enjoying them immensely also because of my own obsession with architecture, religion, lines and corners and arcs and other shapes I am obsessive compulsive about. fantastic and beautiful!

Postponing Today's Planned Post...

By phoebe marie -
...because something else really got under my skin today and I clearly need to vent about it or I won't be able to focus enough to do the things I need to do today. So... let's go back in time, shall we, to late last summer.   One of my best friends ' first child was born with some issues.  Lil Spencer spent many a day in the NICU.  While he was there, his terrified mother and my dear friend repeatedly made requests on facebook and the like that if people were so inclined to pray for her newborn son.  Or if not the praying type, to send positive thoughts, good juju, whatever was right for them to send.  I liked that.  I liked the way she did that.  "Please do what makes sense for you and within your beliefs to send some hope to my child." Now jump ahead a few months to when I was sick.  From day one, people were praying for me.  To a god (or gods) I don't believe in - not even in the slightest.  But those prayers made sense for them ...

Wow!

So, let me tell you WHY I received this photo from knitting dad today: That's my mum. That's two glasses of champagne. And I received this at around noon their time. So why were my parents, who barely drink at all, swigging champagne for lunch today? Because of the news I got at today's follow-up appointment with my brachytherapy oncologist, Dr. Fleming. As I laid on the exam table, feet in the stirrups, he looked in there and announced "What a beautiful cervix." The nurse nodded in agreement. It was such an odd exchange, it took me a minute to register what they were saying... See, when Ryan booked this appointment for me last month (on the day of my final brachy) he asked them if they would be able to tell by today if the tumor was gone. And the answer was NO - that what they would see would be a necrotic, dying, sloughing away tumor. So really, we went in there today with no real expectations. So, when I finally wrapped my head around...

This is really happening, isn't it?

By phoebe marie -
When I first started this blog, I said something about feeling like this wasn't even happening to me.  I began this journey detached, not to mention completely unaware of what I was in for.  Well, at this point, there is no denying that this is 100% happening to me.  For the last two nights, I haven't even been able to separate from it all enough to just... sleep.  Every bit of "that area" feels like it is either on fire or just, like, disintegrating.  Literally.  My skin seems to just be falling off.  The blisters I've written about look almost gray in color.  At yesterday's appointment, the nurse examined me and decided that what it may be, rather than blisters, is a yeast infection.  Not in the traditional location, but just there in the folds of my skin.  Gross.  So, now I've added Monistat to the list of seemingly useless goops that I am smearing around my groin, none of which have helped in the slightest.  I als...
