My mother became ill in August 2008 with ovarian cancer. This is a story of the final months of an exceptional woman.

How I do It


Folks inquire:

"MizFlounce, where does the
Boundless Energy
to create your BlogWonders
come from?"

"Coffee, of course!"

(that and a fistful of thyroid tabs)

Popping! Judy

Honey...get a grip! You are nearly psychotic.

I think a need to rustle up some of the gals and have our first exorcism over here in Malvern. You will be the guest of honor.

MizFlounce,

You look more like Margaret Thatcher all the time.

Congrats on having the date for your final "poison push" set for January the 8th. Hope the good doctor Muldoon doesn't then play a trick on you and push that number up another one or two.

You poor dear, this has gone on for a very long time. Since September for you? You seem to have had an easy time with the treatments and responded well? (given your low CA-125 and tumor seeming to nearly vanish on scans?)

I pray you continue to be an odd bird in your treatment response and stay better...not for months...but for many many years!

Dear Judy,

Lovely see you looking so well! I hope you are taking good care of yourself and looking forward to a restful Christmas - not too much partying eh!!

We are gearing up for the first one with a little boy who totally gets what is going on this year - up wrapping presents till the small hours last night! We will be spending it at home peacefully (or relatively given two kids running about!).

All the very best

Lisa

About Me

My photo
Vacherie, Louisiana, United States
Born in rural Arkansas my tongue took up residence in my cheek shortly thereafter. I use it to speak "Genteel Southern Lady". Cussin' I only use when provoked by the Uppity. Paul, my husband, and I have lived in Cajun Country for many years raising cane, twins (a boy and a girl; now adults? definitely old) and other mischief. Alligators, water moccassins and bears have tussled with me as I protect our swampy coastal farmstead. We are stuck now on lovely Lake Hamilton near Hot Springs where we have our second home. We have been here waiting for Godot since my heart valves blew out Late November 2007 and now with cancer diagnosed August 2008. The Furies have me in their sights... I am writing this blog to let my Beloveds know how I am doing so they will not "get off" in imagined ways on my dire straits. The reality is bad enough without turning my story into a B-grade movie of the mind. I know all of you wish me the very best. And I miss you! never no mind your fevered imaginations. This is as close as I can get to a fond and loving chat with you right now... Sadly, Judy aka Mizflounce passed away peacefully early on Sunday morning May 30th 2009 age 78.
