I'm one of those people that actually likes Valentine's Day.
Yes, I know. Commercialized. Holiday pushed on you by greeting card companies. Why don't we just treat EVERY day like it's Valentine's Day, why save up the going out and the presents when you can just do it on any old day???
Well, I don't care. Chuck and I go out on dates often (I force you all to look at the pictures as proof), we buy each other things for no reason, etc. That doesn't mean I still can't enjoy Valentine's Day and have an excuse to get dressed up and go out for a nice dinner.
Chuck and I have been together for over 6 years. (Nearly) 7 Valentine's Days spent together.
But Valentine's Day seems to want to be more about lungs than hearts.
If any of you newcomers to my blog didn't realize, Chuck's had cancer and one of his lungs was removed Valentine's Day 2006.
Since then, he's been for a checkup every 6 months to make sure it hasn't returned. He passed his 5 year oncologist's visit last summer, but still has to go for a CT scan every year.
Five years ago tomorrow is the anniversary of Chuck being the One-Lunged Wonder. And his CT scan is scheduled for tomorrow morning out of sheer coincedence.
I'm a little worried about this one.
I know I shouldn't be, but I can't help it. I'm pretty stressed out.
Well, anyway, tomorrow's the scan and then we go up to Greenville to see the oncologist on the 22nd.
I know I asked everyone last time to think good thoughts, so I hope you don't think I'm being silly by asking you to do it again. Where Chuckles is concerned, I employ every trick in the book to make sure he stays healthy. Prayers, good thoughts...they're all in my arsenal. Nothing makes me feel silly.
Hell, if I have to go out naked under a full moon in the backyard and do an Anti-Cancer Dance, I'll do it!
But I think I may wait for that until it gets warmer.
And until I lose some more weight.
And maybe until we build a tall fence.
