She's Too Sexy for This Blog

That's right...she is too sexy for my blog. Well for those of you who do not know this sexy lady...this is the infamous and hilariously funny Tosha. Tosha has been my friend for the past 3 years and is in my Mom2Mom group. Yep...she has put up with me for 3 years. Her first impression of me was "Oh, Lord, please don't put me at that crazy girl's table!" And guess what? The good Lord did not listen to her little cry and stuck her with me. She has fallen in love with my crazyness...literally. Our first playdate together she fell and almost knocked herself silly at the park on a sliding pole. She was to say the least VERY graceful.

So....you want to know the secret to her sexiness? Oxygen...pure oxygen...and lots of it. Just kidding! Tosha has been struggling with not only an immune deficiency issue but also sarcoidosis. Sarcowhatsis? To put it simply, clumps of scar tissue that form in your organs. These are in her lungs...hence the oxygen. So every so often Tosha has a major problem breathing and needs to go to the hospital to get it under control. She just recently went to UCI rather than St Joseph's. And I now know the reason why...they brought her fresh baked cookies! How's that for treatment? So needless to say I highly recommend UCI over all the other hospitals that I have been to lately...and that has been a lot of them. This year so far I have clocked 39 emergency room hours alone. I think I am a seasoned hospital visitor. Tosha thinks so too...I came in to see her the other day dragging in a chair, kicking off my shoes, and resting my feet on her bed. She looked at me like "Been doing this often?" Yep. That I have. Please pray for Tosha and for the doctors to find a treatment that will get rid her of or at least put this stuff into remission. One can only handle the smell of a face mask so long.
