SNOW !!!!! Can you believe it.... in Knoxville ! I worked yesterday and it was really pretty watching it cover the ground. On the way home from work I saw snowman after snowman, and kids sledding on hills. So many have never experienced that. It made me smile.Isabella had a blast !
Rick is improving everyday. He walked about 30 feet this morning. Every step he takes is a step forward and toward moving out the door. It is going to take some time to get his strength back. He has a bladder infection, which is being treated with antibiotics, which has caused sores in his mouth. Eating has been sort of difficult. They have started him on coumidin.
I haven't really swallowed this "cancer" thing. It's a strange feeling to have something that "I can't feel" and it doesn't hurt or get in the way of my daily activities. My fibromyalgia is something that hurts and bothers me everyday, but it isn't going to kill me. I know that I am going to be fine, and that I am sooooo blessed that I caught this devil early. My cancer is estrogen and progesterone receptor positive, which means that tamoxifin would be recommended. It blocks the effects of estrogen on breast tissue, but allows estrogen-like effects to occur in other parts of the body. The treatment is 5 years of oral tamoxifen, to reduce the risk of developing metastatic breast cancer. WELL.... there's one little problem, you aren't suppose to take it if you've had a blood clot, and I had one in 2002 after I tore my hamstring. My doctor said he is "thinking on it", and we will discuss it after my surgery and they have a look at the pathology report, and talk with the oncologist. For now... I can't make myself crazy worrying about it. I'm going on vacation to Key West with the girls on Sunday & I'm going to try & have a week of not thinking about all of this. I have gotten so many sweet cards and notes in the mail and thanks to all of you that are lifting me up !!
