Ford cares. About selling cars.
OK so Ford is collecting donations to help with breast cancer research with the donations they collect going to the Susan Komen foundation.
The other night I had the TV on and they had tons of ads on. Go to Fordcares.com. Donate. So I went and bought a warrior t-shirt. I felt I was deserving of a warrior t-shirt and the majority of what I spent was going to the foundation. THEN then after I made my purchase the Ford website asked me to take a survey. How do you feel about Ford? Would you buy a Ford? OK people. Shoot yourself in the foot. We care about breast cancer so now how do you feel about us? We are good? Right because we are supporting a good cause that makes us good and next time you are in the market to buy a car you're going to make it a Ford. Right?
Right now I think Ford sucks in a hypocritical way. Yes I'm glad they are raising a butt load of money. I think the total was over one million dollars. But, the motive. The motive is questionable. Seriously.
I got the last laugh on the bastards. I rated them a 10 on everything. That way they will think this campaign is changing peoples opinion of Ford. They will continue to do charity drives like this one. AND I'll never buy a Ford.
I should add that the bastards had to bribe me to take the survey. I never would have taken it but, if you did they gave you a free silk scarf. I like free so I took the survey and then became an outraged, warrior t-shirt owning, free silk scarf recipient that will never buy a Ford.

Random Profile Question of the Day
Question:
If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?
Answer:
WTF? Because it wouldn't fly?
So far I think this is the worse question. BUT, wait tomorrow is another day!

Infusion Day
Today Chris sat with me during my infusion. The kid amazes me. He wanted to sit with me and he watched. He watched the nurse draw blood and set up the IV. Which is done in one shot but, he watches. Hell I don't watch. And he asks questions. Today he asked the nurse just how much blood was she taking out!
There were no cubbies available so we were on chemo row today. Chris likes this as he gets to sit in a chemo chair next to me. Nice big leather reclining chair. In the cubbies I get one of these but the visitor gets a regular uncomfortable chair.
We were situated in front of the scales. So this is what we observed today. Men. Men get on the scales and they are accepting of their weight. Women. Women get on the scales and it doesn't matter what it says they are unhappy. This one woman came in she said I don't want to know my weight so don't tell me. She actually got on the scales backwards! My son leans over and asks me why didn't she just close her eyes. I don't know i guess she didn't want to be tempted to peek. Women need a scales that doesn't state what her weight is but tells her she looks good.
There was a woman in there with her mother. She was getting hydration but she stopped that before it was over and said she was done. They were trying to get her scheduled for a spinal tap and an MRI and she was having no part of it. She wanted to go home. Her doctor came out and said he wanted these things done today. It was a no go. She ended up agreeing with doing them Thursday and Friday. What can I say this all took place right in front of us. I felt for her and although she needed these test I was glad to see someone stand their ground and just say I'm not up to doing all that today.
Now to track side effects. So far nothing. Just sleepy this afternoon which is what I experience the last two times. I'm hoping for a let up with the hay fever symptoms.

Tomorrow is Herceptin Day
Another infusion day is upon me. Chris wants to sit with me tomorrow and read. Hydrating in preparation.
At radiation today, Dr. Cox drew on me. I'll be getting 8 boosters starting Friday. Which means that my entire breast won't be radiated just a portion of it. About 1/3 I would say and it is around the tumor site. So he drew a big oval circle around it. With a sharpie. Then the technician drew over that with a shocking blue marker. AND the bottom half of the whole thing came off today and is inside my bra. They had placed these small clear round stickers along the line but didn't put any on the bottom part. It'll be interesting tomorrow morning.
It's funny how little mishaps things like this would freak me out at the start of this whole thing and now...well now, I'm feeling, like oh well they'll figure it out.
That ink is never coming out of that bra.

Random Profile Question #6
Question:
You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?
Answer:
In the back yard I guess. I would have to look at a globe to really figure out what is on the opposite side of China. Besides being an impossible task I don't think putting a hole through Mother Earth is a good idea.
