Wild Rumpus

Tomorrow is the big biopsy day. I have to say that although I really do think everything is going to be okay, I have been a lot more nervous than I thought I would be. I get moody and aggravated easily when I am nervous so today has been a little difficult; every little thing has been getting on my nerves or upsetting me. I think that it is a little more scary since the last biopsy I had they thought I had cancer. That was in my thyroid, and it turned out it wasn't even cancer, but it still was a long and complicated journey.
We went to the movies today thinking it would help me get my mind off of things a little bit. We saw Where the Wild Things Are. I was a little wary because I am typically not a fan of any book that is made into a movie, particularly childhood classics, but it was very well done. I cried through a good bit of the movie. It was probably good to get the tears out, but it left me feeling heavy-hearted. The movie was slow in some places and gave an almost uncomfortable amount of time to process the difficult feelings that reside in all of us. Not good for someone who was trying to avoid difficult feelings at this particular junction. Let the wild rumpus start! Since I had a little wild in me today it was appropriate and it did make me "deal." In the end a good howl made me feel better.

  1. Katy, I have been reading all of your blog posts. Good luck to you in your journey, first off. Second, I am very intrigued by the whole raw food diet concept. My father had high blood pressure and was not very healthy when we were in high school, but he went practically vegan about 15 years ago and takes tons of supplements, and he is now 75 and doing really well. I've yet to get off the processed foods bandwagon, but I take small steps here and there. I hope I can eventually get focused enough to do what you are doing, because even if science can't "prove" the benefits of going raw, some things just kinda make sense if you think about them. Finally, I find your story really riveting--I think you should consider turning it into a book. You could be the next Suzanne Somers! Well, OK, maybe that's not what you're going for... anyway, good luck and keep us updated.

    P.S. I saw Where the Wild Things Are also and thought it was a trippy, fantastic movie, and I completely get that it wouldn't be the most fun to watch with things weighing on your mind.
