One Year Cancer Free!

It’s been one year since I had the hysterectomy. Not only was the surgery where they found cancer, it was also where they removed it which means I’m a year cancer free!! I still have a year of close monitoring to make sure it’s gone forever, but I’m feeling good and getting back to normal.

As I took this picture, Sven noticed I was wearing my sloth tank top and socks. He said he should be the sloth with the most pictures on this blog and asked me to post his vacation photos from our trip to Colombia.

Sven and I hanging out on Medellin.
He loved the bright colors of Jardin. So different than the rainforest where it’s mostly just green.
He wasn’t interested in the coffee farm we toured. He said he grew up in some trees by a coffee farm. But he did like the Colombian coffee.
His favorite AirBnB was the one with the wall of bamboo.
He loved the lake in Guatape.
He slept on the top bunk in our hotel in Guatape.
He was super happy to meet this Colombian sloth that lived in a park in Cartajena.
He also really liked the beach in Cartajena

Sven had a great vacation but is happy to be back in Panama.

Sloth friends forever

Sven had his friend Stanley visiting this week. They are friends from way back in the rain forest.

Due to covid it’s been a few years since they saw each other so they had a lot to catch up on.

But, being sloths. They talked for awhile but then took naps.

They have spent the last few days hanging out, watching movies and enjoying the view.

They did some yoga.

Their form needs work.

They were better with meditation.

Sven spent time cooking Stanley’s favorite leaf casserole.

We weren’t crazy about him using our stove because we feared he would fall asleep.

He offered us some but we declined.

Fancy leaf casserole.

We weren’t sure where Stanley would sleep since our apartment is small, but they made bunk beds.

Stanley had such a good time he’s decided to look for work in the city, so hopefully he will visit again soon.

Bad Hair Day

I am thrilled to still have hair, and happy with my new haircut. But, it is not a get up and go hairdo.

This is what my hair looks like every morning, after brushing it.

Today Sven asked to style it for me. He still is considering a new career as a hair stylist.

He started by straightening it. As a sloth he really took his time and worked slowly.

He suggested some sloth fur products but agreed to use some of my hair products.

He was surprised I had so many. After much time styling and a few naps since he is a sloth he was finished.
