· Everything right now is temporary. I came home from the hospital with my “tissue expanders” … which are basically my temporary breasts.
· I borrowed temporary bras from my teenage daughter, not knowing what I would look like when the expansion work was done.
· Post surgery, I was too uncomfortable to sit at the desk in my office, so I set up a temporary desk at the island in my kitchen
· I was told my hair would fall out on day 18 of my chemo treatment, so I got a temporary crew cut, which would tide me over until my hair started to fall out in earnest.
· I have a full set of temporary clothes for work … since I can’t quite convince myself that my tailored suits will go well with baseball caps and scarves
· I eat my temporary diet of simple carbohydrates, diet ginger ale and toast, since my usual healthy diet doesn’t taste so great with the chemo nausea.
Maybe by the time I get through my temporary life in 2009, we’ll be done with this awful recession and we can ALL go back to our real lives!
