My blog is a year old today. Can you believe it? A year ago, April 9th, was my first post. Wow. I can't believe it's been a year. I can't believe how much has happened in a year - can you? I mean, to quickly recap - excisional biopsy, breast cancer diagnosis, stage IV diagnosis, surgery for port placement, 6 months of chemotherapy, oopherectomy, double mastectomy w/ reconstruction, cancer free, expander removal, cancer return so switch in medication, new expander placement. Whew! And I thought I was busy BEFORE cancer. Hmpf.
Surgery went great today and for some reason I am wide awake right now while everyone else sleeps. He was able to fill them up a little more than half way, no drains (thank you Jesus), and here's the exciting part - my mummy wrap can come off on Sunday!!! Yipeee!!! That means not only will I be able to breathe and move around better, it means I'll be able to shower. Ahhhh.
I was in such a good place about this, just so confident, happy, content, relaxed. I made a HUGE difference. I know this is because of my continued growing faith and also because of the work I did in NM. My outlook on this is so completely different. So good. So positive. I can tell it makes others a bit uncomfortable at times, but it feels so right to me. Something has clicked for me in the best way possible. Hard to explain, for YAY!
My dearest friend Sarah brought me and my family dinner tonight and it was just the perfect thing for us. It was delicious and I can't explain (I know I've said this before) how much it helps to not have to stress about what I'm going to fix my family (or what I can instruct my husband to fix my family which is sometimes more stressful). What a community of friends, I am so blessed.
When we arrived at the hospital today we were asked to write a check for the dreaded $2400. I was prepared to work out a pay plan and give them $100 but they didn't quite go for that. Who can write a check for $2400? I know that I owe the deductible for the new year, I'm not saying I don't, I just wish they could have been more flexible. So, thank God my mother was there, she paid the minimum deposit, I wrote her a check to reimburse her for that next week then we are just going to have to suck it up and pay the rest of it in two installments. Bye Bye summer vacation. Oh well, this is what I'm getting disability for I suppose, and once it's paid, it's paid for the year - considering I have 2 more surgeries coming up this year, I'm just glad it will be done and out of the way. I was not about to walk into this surgery in tears, and I almost let myself go there. But I caught myself, prayed, created something different and so it's done and over with. Arg.
My throat is hurting something wicked - maybe because they had some sort of tongue depressor on it during my surgery? I don't know, feels like post nasal drip so I am going to have some ice cream (am I making an excuse to have ice cream? perhaps.....) I just want something cold to sooth my throat. Hurts to swallow. Hate that.
I came home to my girls, especially Madeline, waiting on me hand and foot, handing me toy after toy to make we feel better, trying to squeeze herself into the chair next to me. She even flushed the toilet for me. She is, my guardian angel. So amazing.
Have a lovely weekend all, God Bless -
