GREAT WEEKEND

FEELING GOOD!

I am feeling really good these days. I have some pain from the surgery and the "cording" in my arm pit (google cording after lymph removal), but for the most part, I feel well, I have more energy than I have had in many months, and food is tasting pretty near normal. How could I complain! Last Saturday was Greggs 56th birthday and all our sons, daughter-in-law and grandsons were with us for the entire weekend! It was great. The house always is a little TOO quiet when they all leave. We are fortunate to live only a couple hours away from Jared and his family and Evan trys to make it from California everytime we have a special event or celebration. I sure love them all! I am waiting on my health insurance to approve some physical therapy visits so I can treat the "cording". I have an appointment on August 24th with the radiation onchologist and will probably start radiation treatment the next week. Thank you all for caring about me and being such a support when I need it. You are all GREAT!

Surgery again!

A few hours after my last post, the breast surgeon called to give me the results of the pathology report. There was cancer on one of the corners of what he had removed from the breast so he needed to go back in and take out some more from that area. I was a little discouraged, but wanted to just get it over with, so day before yesterday I had another surgery. I had more pain after this one than the prior one and had nausea the day after and a bad headache for two days. But I'm back at work this afternoon. The breast does not hurt much and the headache is gone, but oh my gosh, my emotions are totally out of wack!! But I just had a good little cry and feel better now. I have an appointment with the oncologist tomorrow and we will discuss when I start radiation treatment. On another note, my son, Evan, is coming this Sunday evening to visit for a week and Gregg has the entire week off from work so... I am thinking up some projects they and Kirk can work on around the house. Bet they'll be thrilled! Ha. I Love and Appreciate All of You!
