même pas peur!
Monday, January 07, 2013
Psst. There, in the right-hand corner. A cat in a box on a steep ledge. Ever feel like that? (photo taken in 2006, in Italy)
.
même pas peur! (mem pah purr)
: Not afraid!
Même pas peur is an expression French kids say when confronted with something or someone daunting. It means "I'm not a bit afraid!"
Audio File: Listen to me talk about today's appointment in Marseilles: Download MP3 or Wave file
Aujourd'hui, j'ai un punch biopsie et j'ai même pas peur... et je dis n'importe quoi... Today I have a punch biopsy and I'm not all scared... and I'm just talking nonsense (...when I say that I'm not afraid)...
A DAY IN A FRENCH LIFE.... by Kristin Espinasse
Même Pas Peur: A few examples
Même pas peur! The kid on the playground says to his cohorts, when the school bully threatens him: "Même pas peur! That guy doesn't scare me a bit!"
Même pas peur! I'm not afraid! The French woman says with a wink, when her hairdresser suggests chopping off all her locks, for a new look.
Même pas peur! My son jokes to his friends as he inches over to the edge of the falaise... and jumps 15 meters to the shimmering waters below.
Même pas peur! my husband says, when I hand him the toilet brush and point to the chore.
And ... Même pas peur! I tell myself this morning, as I head out, now, to the doctor's. May the results of this skin biopsy come back speedily, different from the last time... and the time before that....

Then... (Kristin, Max, Jean-Marc, and Jackie)
...and now! (Max, Braise, Jackie, Smokey, Kristin, and Jean-Marc). JM looks a little serious, but he's just impatient to get the picture over with, after several retakes. What do Braise and Smokey look like they're thinking? Comments here.
Note: the first photo was taken at Domaine du Banneret (Jean-Marc's uncle's winery, in Chateauneuf du Pape). It was before Jean-Marc began his own winery, Domaine Rouge-Bleu. We moved again, last September and are still settling in, here near Bandol.
Other places we have lived: Marseilles (when we first met), St. Maximin (after Max was born), Les Arcs-sur-Argens (the longest we ever stayed put!), Ste. Cécile-les-Vignes, and now we are back near the sea, where we started from!

Good luck Kristin. I have been there, I know the anxiety. I ended up having to have surgery for a positive diagnosis on my face. The surgery was quick with no follow-up treatment needed and I have been problem free for the ten years ever since. The worry is the worst of this but hang in there you will be fine.

My husband shares your posts with me because I was treated for melanoma (11 mm tumor) two years ago. I put the whole thing in God's hands and have had peace every since. Once in a while a little doubt creeps in and I remind myself of what a friend told me; "Do you believe or not? If you don't believe, don't bother to pray, and if you believe, don't worry." Good advice and may God bless you with good health.

Hi, Kristin.
I am with Jackie, from CA:
Bring two strapping bouncers with you to the doctor or to the moments when you are waiting to hear the results. Then, in the waiting room, find a spot with three chairs.
Your New Year's post also reminded me of what a favorite yoga teacher used to tell us:
"Your mind can be like a bad neighborhood: don't go in there alone."
Thanks for letting us know about your appointment. I wish for the best for you.

Thank you very much for the prayers and good wishes! Jean-Marc began reading me your notes as we sat in the waiting room at the doctor's office (first, JM had to play my embarrasing sound file (for today's word) aloud, and tease me about that! His humor relaxed me, just as your notes have). After a needle to the nose and that "punch", it only took two stiches to tie things up this time. Results back in a week. Again, merci beaucoup for taking the time to send these words of encouragement. P.S. have you seen your dermato lately? What's keeping you?

Bonjour chère Kristi,
Here in Albuquerque we are thinking of you, wishing you all the best for this new year, and especially for a positive result from today's test!
Thank you for the "then & now" photos of the family. We love your sharing them with us! The kids are so gorgeous, and you look as lovely in this recent photo as you do in the old one! How do you do that??
Much love,
Johanna & Will

Kristin, we are praying for the outcome you hope for. I so much enjoy reading your blog and learning the French words and phrases you introduce. I love getting to know you and your family through your posts and look forward to the day we can meet somewhere in Provence.
Posted by: Laura Isenstein | Monday, January 07, 2013 at 06:38 PM
Kristin,
You inspired me to be brave for my first skin cancer surgery last March (I had another on the other side of my face 6 months later). Now I've progressed to treating pre-cancer on my jaw-line with a topical chemo cream.
If it wasn't for your fearless posting of your first skin cancer incision, I would have had beaucoups de peur. Thanks for putting yourself out there again and again.
I hope and pray that your most recent test will result in good news and no more stitches or scars!

You have touched so many lives and continue to do so in such a gentle and gracious way. Good thoughts and prayers are being sent your way everyday..and are not limited to while you wait in the doctor's office or while waiting for results.
Your sharing your daily life experiences (and that of your beautiful family, as well) is a joy for your readers/friends. Thank you.

Best wishes to you Kristin as you wait for results, thoughts and prayers are showering you. Your example gives encouragement to others to visit their dermatologists.
Braise seems to be sniffing the air, maybe thinking ah, there are so many new smells here, I need to investigate...when will the picture-taking be over?
Smokey is simply feeling content and happy as a bug in a rug since he is cuddled up close to you, with your arm around him...just being with y.o.u.

Dear Kristin,
I hope very much that your biopsy has good news. My heart goes out to you. The family portrait with the golden is beautiful. I wish we could enjoy as much golden sun as we wanted without any worries. What a coincidence to read your blog at this particular moment. I just returned from my visit to the dermatologist. Since I moved to Alabama I must travel close to 4 hours to see a dermatologist at the University which my previous doctor in Florida recommended. She did a biopsy of an irregular place on my hip, so now I must wait for the results. I'm thankful to have an expert taking care of me, just wish she was closer to my home. The bonus for this trip was shopping at the sales. New shoes, buy one pair get the other 1/2 half. Maybe that will take my mind off the biopsy.
All the best to you and family!

Dear Kristin,
I thought I had to write again because after I wrote the first post I read on my niece's Facebook that I must share with you. It is a quotation from Maya Angelou:
"People will forget that you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
So many people are continually uplifted by what you say. Keep those thoughts locked in your mind and heart, along with the other treasures you have stored already.

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you await results. Thanks for so honestly sharing your challenges. Here's hoping you do not have to have ANY more cutting! It's been about four months since my latest skin graft after the most recent basal cell carcinoma was removed from my nose, and one good part of the whole ordeal was having a conversational opening to encourage people to get their weird spots checked immediately. Your honest sharing is benefitting many, I'm sure. Keep your chin up (and your sunscreen on, of course)! On the plus side, it's a great opportunity to collect and wear a lot of fabulous hats. Bless you! Sunny from Colorado
Posted by: Sunny Bridge | Tuesday, January 08, 2013 at 12:30 AM
Best wishes to you. I hope they don't make you wait too long for the results. I'm praying those who read the results will have a definitive answer. I had a shot in my nose this past summer and it was so painful! It made my eyes water and I wanted to slug the doctor! Absolutely the worst part of that day! I laugh now about my instinct to attack the doctor. Sounds like you have found some humor in the day which is so important in keeping your chin up (and your nose too! :)

Wishing you good test results! And, I think your question is a good one.... I think it's time I made an appointment to get checked out myself - so easy to let it go. You'd think I'd be hyper-vigilant with my husband having survived melanoma twice now! A bit of the 'head in the sand' syndrome for me! You're doing a good job of taking care of yourself! You should be proud of yourself!
Posted by: Judi Boeye Miller, Lake Balboa, CA | Tuesday, January 08, 2013 at 03:09 AM
I know what it's like to wait for results, and will pray for you.
Have the rest of the family checked themselves to be sure they don't have any irregularities n their skin? You all live in the same place, so they could have had similar sun exposure.
It is wonderful to have a picture of all four of you together - six, counting the dogs. It's a great shot of all of you, and one of the best of Smokey I've ever seen. I enjoy pictures of the family.
Hope you continue to settle in and enjoy your new home. Wishing you all a terrific year.

Had BCC on my forearm at 28. Did not see about it 'til 3 years later. Even so, the damage was small. Won't wait again! I wasn't prepared for the extent of the previous biopsy on your forehead. Your mom's words from September 2011 made me cry. Meme pas peur. God go with you. . .and give you a BCC-free diagnosis.
