Eyelash countdown and Shelley's book

I am able to count the number of eyelashes I have. I have 22 on the top left and 1 on the bottom. On the right side, I have 21 on top and none on the bottom.

I recently read Five Lessons I Didn't Learn from Breast Cancer (and One Big One I Did) by Shelley Lewis. Sam picked it out for me at the library. The book was pretty entertaining with lots of sarcasm. Shelley mentions how so many baby boomers are getting breast cancer, like it's some "generational experience" akin to tie-dye, and suggested that Fisher-Price make a "My First Death Scare kit for grown-ups, with a doctor's bag, pink ribbons, and some toy breast implants." That just cracked me up. Did my sense of humor get warped? Nooo, according to Shelley, she realized that breast cancer didn't change her. I am probably going to read this book again sinceI enjoyed it so much.

Shelley also mentions a quote from breast surgeon Dr. Susan Love's book: "Once you are diagnosed with breast cancer you become an outsider. You no longer belong to the world of the 'temporary immortal' but have joined the world of the 'defectives.'" Well, it's kinda sad for me to think of myself as "defective," but in the back of my head, I know that I won't be able to take my health for granted any more. Other breast cancer survivors have run marathons and gotten into the best shape of their lives, but as a cancer survivor, you wonder if the original cancer will come back or a new one will crop up due to the treatment or whatever caused you to have cancer in the first place. Hopefully, in the far future, I'll think about going through chemo only once in a while, but I have my little scars to remind me that I actually had breast cancer.
