Happy Valentine's DAY

What FUN at PUMP it UP! I totally recommend this for a kid's birthday party. Everyone gets to "move" around, have lots of fun, and burn some calories! The kids just had a blast...and so did us "big kids"! Then we got to "rest" and "recharge" the batteries with some pizza and cake. You just gotta see the MATER cake!
Enjoy!

BREAST CANCER

DID THAT get your ATTENTION????

Well it did mine!
Quick version... found a lump on Saturday evening...still there on Sunday...showed hubby...he felt it too...called MD on Monday morning...got in to see her that afternoon...WE COULDN'T find it. WEIRD...nothing.

I decided to not take it's "disappearance" be luck. Scheduled mammogram and ultrasound (EVERY WOMAN needs a baseline BEFORE 40...I'm 33) Today was the day!

Great staff and experience...it was almost like a "spa" atomosphere. Went into a locker room, changed into a robe, waited in the back lobby...relaxing music... water, hot tea, magazines, waterfall...everything a spa has ....EXCEPT for the Xray tech that comes and calls my name..."Roxy".
She was wonderful...very "gentle" during the mammogram and explained everything. She even let me see the "pictures" afterward. Then it was time for the ultrasound...not as fun as the one at the OB's office...you're WANTING to see something on that screen.
Anyway...WARM gel...what was a releif...and she looked, and looked, and found NADDA!
Well, a small cyst that looked empty...probably left from nursing Dane...stopped about 4 months ago. MD comes in reviews all the info...mammogram, ultrasound, even scans me himself and NADDA!!!
He agreed and PRAISED me for coming in...one can NEVER me to careful. Just last week they had a 27 year old with a POSTIVE diagnosis....caught it early and she should be ok!
SO... BE PROACTIVE about your HEALTH...Don't think your invinscible!
DO your monthly self exams. Get a mammogram if your getting close to 40...even 35... and Take NO chances if you feel ANYTHING!!

I'm so GRATEFUL it was nothing...and I am a TRULY BLESSED. I couldn't not share this...thinking maybe ONE of you might see it...and just maybe...it would "awaken" you to the thought of being "PROACTIVE" about your health!

Here's a link for more info on breast cancer!
Oh... and guess who will be WALKING in the local RACE FOR THE CURE walk EVERY YEAR!!

Sorry...not much of a "wordless" Wednesday!
Blessings and SWEAT!
