Faithfully Fighting

Well, it’s been a week since I’ve written so I thought I’d give a little update.  I’m doing pretty well, thanks to the prayers and wonderful cards and comfort.  The pain is a little better every day.

I went to the plastic surgeon today in the hopes of getting all my drains out.  I was very fortunate to get all but one removed.  It will make everything a little more navigate able.  For any of you that have never had drains in your body I would describe removing them as . . . like. . . .ok, got me, I can’t think of a creative way to describe it.  It hurts, ouch, yowee, . . . got the picture.

My oncology appointment, originally scheduled for 2/14, has been rescheduled for 2/26 by my doctor who had to go out of town (shucks, my disappointment is almost palatable, NOT). 

I’m starting to miss work.  I can almost feel my brain shriveling as the days go by.  I know I should be working on the next great American novel, I keep reminding myself of that, next week I promise.  I’ve got the go ahead from the doctor to get on the treadmill, so next week I will walk every day and start writing in my book every day.  That will help me build up my stamina for when I am given the go ahead to go back to work. 

The doctor also gave me the go ahead to sleep on my side.  A little unimportant you say, but to me it will be a great luxury to roll from my back to my side tonight.  Still no vacuuming, housecleaning, laundry or carrying shopping bags allowed.  I think I’ll survive, but poor Katie is learning a tough lesson in being Mom’s “helper”. 

I’ll write again after the oncology appointment.  I’ll be sure to put in the chemo schedule and all the scary stuff he tells me.  

God Bless!
