I see lots of fun play dates in the future. Hopefully we will be eating some of Matt's fish during these playdates.

What a fun, small world!<br /><br />I'm at UVM. I came in here in 1998 for grad school and just stayed after graduation. I used to coordinate new student orientation, but I now run the UVM Student Health Center.

Related through Aunt Becky, although we haven't seen each other since we were about 4. Anyway. I ended up not pulling off that gymnastic feat in the chemo hallways, but I did do a lot of the finger pointing, high-fivin', bad-joke-cracking action I described in one of my earlier posts, the one where I likened myself to the wealthy older gentleman at a country club. Chemo was ok, but I really have to get morphine with it now, to deal with the pain of it. I'm REALLY looking forward to being done with it! Good to hear from you, Carrie.Shelly Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639896935659661013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558304934591756707.post-84066611397424247092012-05-17T10:28:21.983-07:002012-05-17T10:28:21.983-07:00Jill!

I'm soo sorry to hear about Liz's diagnosis, although it sounds like she is doing great, so that's wonderful! Maybe you and Jenny Oster (or "Jen Bleich" as she's known in her grown-up years) can get together soon to sing our perky alma mater song. Be sure to hit all those high notes. I know Jenny's got a good voice. You could harmonize. Please send me a video of it. That was one gorgeous song.

Am also hoping for another update to let us stalkers know if you did in fact pull off the round-off/back handspring/double tuck combo into the chemo chair. Would be especially fitting with the Olympics right around the corner, you know.<br /><br />Next time you take a sabbatical, I'm going to Aunt Becky for news. So glad the ox is plowing ahead and doing well! <br /><br />- Carrie SeckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3558304934591756707.post-19731563611038372402012-05-16T16:54:10.124-07:002012-05-16T16:54:10.124-07:00Shelly - This is great!

I was on vacation and apparently had some time on my hands to troll the internet and find old SUA classmates! Your spirit and energy is exactly how I remember you from high school. Amazing.<br /><br />My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in October and I did the blog thing, but it was not nearly as interesting or well written as this. Even my wife, who has never met you, spent a good hour reading your posts. (She had just finished her chemo round and was counting her blessings. She's mostly done with treatment now.) Like you, we loved seeing comments on our blog and knowing that people were thinking of us. Thus, you can now consider us to be part of Team Shelly thinking of you and sending you good wishes!<br /><br />Jill Hoppenjans<br /><br />PS: Who is the Vermont Jennifer?

I was pretty worried and kept flagellating (sp? word?) myself over the fact that I need to write you a real letter, but haven't. I actually thought something was wrong with my computer and hit the next blog thing at the top and started reading about some woman who's kid broke both of her arms. Before I got around the whole different name thing I thought it was Betty. Glad to know you're doing well and Betty does not have two broken arms. How was Kauai take 2? Inquiring minds want to know.
