Hi.

My name is Alenka. I am a native of Slovenia, living in Lake Tahoe California and La Ventana Bay in Mexico with one husband, four grown children, three growing grandchildren, and one magnificent golden retriever Monty.

I write here, there and everywhere in— between about anything that inspires me, makes me mad or sad or preferably, about what makes my heart sing with joy.

Silver Lining

Silver Lining

Yes, there is a silver lining to every dark cloud. After my breast cancer treatments, I've had many setbacks and lots of MRI's, EMG's, NCS's, X rays,  bone scans and all those other tests we don't know that exist until we need them. 

I've gone through a  very stressful period, but have now come a full circle on my colon removal. When I went down to UC Davis for a preop, my surgeon suggested we wait and repeat one more colonoscopy before we remove the colon. Biopsy from the last removal of multiple polyps came back negative. I am clear and free and get to keep my colon! I can't describe the relief I feel. So does everyone around me. We can finally embrace some great news. 

Thank you all for love and support. Jim and I are taking a break and we are off to our next adventures to spend winter in Baja and try to recover from all the stress. I will finally be able to resume my knee recovery.
