We hit the road this past weekend driving to Sanger to attend hubby's grandfather's 90th Birthday party. The most notable thing that happened (well of course Lou hitting 90) was that Penny choked on a piece of candy while her and I were sitting on Rod and Rosie's dock. I wanted to freak out but forced my self to slap Penny on the back. Luckily between the slap and her throwing up a bit it came out and we were both freaked the heck out!!! After a minute of freaking Penny started crying that she lost her candy.
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
