Thank you, dear! I'm honored.

*squints* Is that Kaylee's "as chocolatey as possible" birthday cake for Simon there in your icon? :D :D :D

Thank you so much for sharing this. I'm so glad your lesion is treatable.

[emeraldsedai]

Thank you. I'm glad too, and life seems to be going on, as it does!

Happy belated birthday - I'm glad your diagnosis was "treatable".

[emeraldsedai]

Thank you!

Oh my goodess, you were stabbed in the heart??? What happened????

Did the scar from that stabbing grew cancerous or something? Anyway, I'm so glad it's the easily treatable one *hugs*

[emeraldsedai]

Oh dear. No, no. Sorry to cause alarm! The keyword there was "figuratively". A very, very traumatic relationship fiasco and some other heartbreaks all in one short period.

The skin cancer is real (though retreating fast, I hope), but I'm a great believer that emotional wounds show up in the physical body, and its location generally over my heart seems meaningful to me.

[emeraldsedai]

And thank you for the hugs!

I am very glad you're going to be okay, and I'm sorry you had to live in fear at all. Happy birthday, and happy changes.

[emeraldsedai]

Thank you, dear. To be perfectly accurate, I didn't have to live in fear, I chose to, and it's been a very interesting life lesson!
