SALAD DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN !

SALAD DAYS

                                                  

October 28 has always been an important date in my life . It was 38 years ago on that date that Glenn and I met. Now October 28 has gained additional importance. Friday, October 28, 2016 my wonderful doctor said with a huge smile on her face, " You are in remission - cancer gone."

                                                 

My first response to this monumental news was, " You mean I can go back to eating salads?"

You see, while I was in recovery, all raw foods like vegetables, sushi plus soft cheeses, cream filled anything were forbidden due to possible bacteria which might cause infection. Leave it to me to think of food first. Never mind that this announcement meant no more weekly clinic , multiple medications, frequent blood work - all the poking and prodding that was my new normal for an entire year. 

SALAD - that was my reward.

                                              

                                                   

Dr. Ho laughed admitting that, like me, big salads were a favorite menu item for her. She went as far as to recommend a restaurant.

But I digress. I AM IN REMISSION! I am thrilled, to say the least. I am so happy as is Glenn.

                                        

I just thought you'd want to know.

By the way, yesterday we dined out on 2 big Cobb salads. I am still reeling.
