Ramping up for Seventeen!
She’s not 17 yet, but we’re gettin’ mahty close.
In ramping up to Rose’s 17 years alive here on Earth (which will be marked on Monday), we hit the best/worst ‘70s throwback venue EVER in Bellevue – that which is Skate King.
Imagine hot hits of the top 40, a little Hokie Pokie, Four Corners (call your corner and YOU’RE OUT), and a bunch of Hoochie Mama mamas and their teen kids, and you got dah Skate King magic.
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
