Smiling and sore

I just sent my sister off in a cab to catch her flight back to Boston. It was very nice having her here to help me. We had a nice time, and it went really fast.

I got the drains out, and that makes such a big difference! Also, Angela said I'm losing the zombie walk (all stiff and not moving arms) as of last night. I'm still sleeping in the recliner, which is very very comfortable. I do need to stay on top of the pain meds, as it is really really sore if I get behind it.

I'll be able to drive in about a week, if I can handle abrupt stops and movement. I'm not sure what to think about wearing a seatbelt though.

It has really been nice hearing from people and having visitors. My friends and family are the best! And I love you guys very very much!

I'm going back to sleep now, I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Pathology and home

I got really good news this morning, my surgeon got the pathology results back, no cancer in lymph nodes, no cancer in left breast, no chest wall involvement, clear margins, and the remaining cancer cells is why a radical modified mastectomy was performed, right decision on surgery. I'm so happy about this news!

I am really really sore, but am home resting now. I'll figure out how to get comfortable here pretty quick. I can't believe how fast everything is going. Over halfway there on this journey, and I think the toughest part is over.

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts, I know they helped me a lot!

Time for a nap now.

Only one more week until surgery

I can't believe how fast the time has gone, a week from tomorrow I have surgery. My step-dad is coming out to be with me during the surgery itself and to help me right afterwards. My dad and step-mom were going to come out, but my dad had an accident on Saturday where he shattered the bones in his foot, and broke a toe and had to have emergency surgery with pins and screws to set it all. He just is having a really hard time getting around, so traveling would be really tough. I hope he gets better soon! I know he's in a lot of pain.

It is my last week of work for awhile, everyone has really been good to me, they are a great bunch of people. I'm sure I'll start to get anxious to get back to work and get back to a normal life.

Glad to have a little bit cooler weather, this weekend was really nice. I hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!!
