Descriptive DaysPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on March 8, 2013
My original oncologist moved to New Orleans about three fourths of the way through my treatment. I stayed with her partner, because frankly I was too tired, and depressed to go through the switch. I decided a while ago that we didn’t really click, and so today I made the jump. I went through all [...]
Nothing I could have done!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 17, 2012
For months during my divorce, I asked the question; What did I do? How could I have changed? How could I have been different? How could I have changed this outcome? I even had, well meaning family members, help me explore all the things about myself that may have contributed to the divorce. You know [...]
Our Best MomentsPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on November 8, 2012
Our Best Moments come when; WE LOVE even though. Because it really is true; often they know not what they do! And who are we to judge the depth of their knowledge anyway? My heart lately has been a hardened and bitter place. I have been waiting and crying for the hurt, anger, and depression [...]
Digging Out!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on September 26, 2012
It has been so long since I posted a blog that I am having a hard time hammering my thoughts down into one post. My mind has all kinds of ideas! As any of you who have been following my Facebook or me regularly know, I have been really depressed for a while. I had [...]
How does He Count our Hairs?Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on September 6, 2012
I have reached the hard part. A battle with cancer is easy compared to this! Honestly it is even hard to write about because it feels like such an extension of a pity party, but for the first time in a long time, today I felt compelled to write. So here goes. Picking up the [...]
Depression and AngerPosted by Katrina Kaczmarek on August 28, 2012
My therapist thinks it is good that I have finally hit the anger stage of my journey. However, I must be honest. It sucks. It sucks to be angry and depressed ALL THE TIME! People telling you not to worry about it, or to just not be angry, or to pray about it don’t help. [...]
Using a Machete to Cut through Red Tape (Time for Cake Again?)Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on July 2, 2012
This is my 400th Post!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!!! I am back into the band Cake for one particular song. The last time I was into Cake was in medical school when I was trying to make it through, I used to sing the part about using a machete to cut through red tape to myself often [...]
Can Boxing Replace Happy Pills? I think maybe so!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on June 13, 2012
Before I get into the meat of this blog let me start by saying that I believe in medicine. If you need medicine please take it. If medicine improves your quality of life, by all means take it. Quality is very important, and it is o.k. to live medicated, many people improve their lives with [...]
Where are my Happy Pills?!?!?!?Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on June 12, 2012
I can’t afford my happy pills anymore. Actually they are for all the menopausal symptoms, but they also help with mood stabilization. Anyway, my insurance is fine (don’t worry) but in a flux because I am changing from married to single, and the pharmacy hasn’t caught up yet. Anyway, I ran out of happy pills [...]
Brighter than a Shooting Star!Posted by Katrina Kaczmarek on June 4, 2012
I forgot how much I like to read. I have been very down lately. I have been consuming too many calories and too much television when the kids leave. It has almost been like I come back alive when they come home. I can move again. The house gets cleaned again. I have a reason [...]
