Yesterday was a fantastic (but exhausting) day celebrating LIFE with two of my nieces! I should have taken more pics, but we started off at First Watch - Northgate Mall (9721 Colerain Ave) for a delicious brunch! (Check their fall menu!) then we hit up the Halloween store (where we took a photo with the #CorpseBride) and Ulta Beauty for some browsing before hanging out for a casual walk at Glenwood Gardens Park.

Great quality time with the girls and phenomenal start to my #surgiversary, #stomaversary, #remissionversary & #bariversary week.

Tomorrow, the 23rd, is 8 years since I had my life-saving #RadicalCystectomy with #RadicalHysterectomy to remove my #BladderCancer (including a grapefruit-sized primary tumor that had grown through my bladder wall and was attaching to my cervix), placed my #Stoma for my #urostomy and left me with #NoEvidenceOfDisease.

Shout out to Drs. Mark Delworth of The Urology Group and David Waterhouse Oncology Hematology Care, Inc. for helping me survive from diagnosis onward.

Next Friday, the 27th, is 2 years since I had my #GastricSleeve procedure, which has enabled me to reclaim even more of my life. #VSG

Slow, small steps, but still progress! I’m still alive! #NotDeadYet
