What I Did on January 20, 2025 Instead of Marching in Protest or Paying Any Attention To The Shenanigans at The White House
Breast cancer is easier to deal with than the travesty on January 20
Just before Thanksgiving I was diagnosed with cancer in my right breast. There is no rushing insurance, so surgery happened on January 15.
Just days before the Women’s March protesting the election. So marching with sore, swollen breasts and long drains down to my knees was out of the question.
Original plans were to march with other women and people of color in a Women’s March leaving from Huston-Tillotson, an historically Black college. I signed up in November, before the cancer diagnosis.
I’ve marched in MLK parades and protests before. One got me placed on the watch list for flying. That’s another story, linked below.
What I did do on January 20, 2025
My son drove me to the doctor’s office to get the drains that were attached to each breast removed. Fun!
I took a tramadol for pain, so I wasn’t completely lucid, leading to me giving confusing driving directions to my son. Siri and Google maps…
