I’m forming a team for people who want to walk beside me and laugh along the way. I’m calling it Team Kathy. Since I’m the self-appointed captain, I want to make sure I have the right people on my team. I want:
- People with positive attitudes.
- People who can laugh at themselves and others or at least fake laughing at my humor.
- Good fighters.
- People with soft shoulders when I need it.
- Ironic people.
- People who don’t get medical terms.
- People who get medical terms and can explain them in little words.
- People who say, “This sucks!”
- Creative people.
- Skinny and fat people.
- Men and women.
- People who hate their hair and think going bald might be a good idea.
- People who will laugh when I get a Mohawk.
- People who will bail me out of jail and not tell Gene if I go a little crazy.
- People who will walk beside me.
If you think you fit on my team, you are welcome to join me. There are no applications to fill out (though the possibilities intrigue me!) or dues to collect. Just check my blog or drop me an email now and then. Be prepared for a lot of laughs, a few tears, and maybe a cyber pink pajama party.
You have a friend.
I love the Madeline greeting cards . . . I can see a ‘Kathy’ card line in your future.
I know a bail bondsman just call!
I’m there with you! I love pink pajamas and better yet pajama parties (with wine) 🙂
TEAM KATHY ALL THE WAY!
I’m in!! GO TEAM KATHY!
Oh, I heard wine, laughing , and walking beside you. I believe in kicking, screaming and just getting xxxxxxxx mad! I’m So on your Team! Love and prayers come with me!!!
You know that I am with you. Just like the card said. Oh, I don’t even remember what the card said??!! Hugs and kisses!
🙂
I just want to say that all of your comments have made me smile. Thank you to all of you, and to those who can’t figure out how to make a comment (which makes me laugh).
Count me in!! Wine, chocolate, love, laughs, whatever you need….
I was Team Jacob but have defected and am now TEAM KATHY!!! Seriously or maybe not so…I feel blessed to have met you when I did and am only sorry that I’m not close enough to see the porch light…on, off or blinking. I will keep you in my prayers and look forward to emails when you are up to it…my light is always on!
I’m in!!! You and the family are definitely in my prayers. You have always managed to make me laugh and see “outside the box”. Maybe I can have you cracking a smile or two. Hugs…
🙂
Count me on your team!
I’m with ya sister! Looks like we have more making lemons into lemonade in our future! PINK LEMONADE!! Talk about irony, as I was driving all over town today I thought “I really should make those dentist and mammogram appointments!” I will call tomorrow!! Love and hugs to you and your family! Miss you!
THIS SUCKS! So do I qualify for Team Kathy?? You are going to kick this in the ass…or whatever body part needs kicking. And despite the language used in this post, I do pray; and you are now in all of them. Your family too. Especially Gene; Can’t wait to see his pink outfit:)
I wouldn’t want a team that couldn’t throw out a fowl word now and then. You know, Gene is color blind so Danielle and I could dress him in pink and he would never know it. This could be fun!
My fowl word for today is ‘goose’.
I was getting freakin worried about how to make a comment and not offend people, so I have been holding back what I wanted to say. But now that I understand it’s okay I just want to say I’m really #%&@*! upset about your situation and I hope you will please let Kathy and me be on your team! Thinking of you and your family always….
Dean,
I’m going to have to forward you my friend Roz’s comment. I have been afraid to post it, but it is too funny. It involves a few choice words and tequila! I will be counting on you and Kathy this winter.
Sign me up. I see very clear advantages to having no hair, as compared to a few random strands being used to try to cover one’s head and disguise reality. You and your fine family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m in! And I can share some French swear words; you get to use them so no one else has to know what you’re REALLY saying! BTW, another advantage if you have chemo in your protocol: I blame EVERYTHING on chemo brain! It’s worked for years!! Really.
I want to join! I want to join! Will you accept me as a member of your team????
Reading Janet’s post, I can remember that my father used to use some good French swear words. Too bad I can only remember one!
Kathy, just want you to know you have a California team pulling for you!! I recently joined “Survivoars” –a dragon boat team made up of cancer survivors and their supporters. While out on the water today, we sent positive thoughts your way; and all those amazing ladies in pink promised me they would keep you in their thoughts Monday also!!! I promise I’ll take photos at the next practice to send you. Yay for PINK POWER!
