Feeling Better !

It's been a week since surgery and I am finally feeling back to my 'ole self. I don't know what that was that threw me in the bed, but it wasn't nice. I go see my dear doctor, Lytle Brown, tomorrow to see what the next step is. My incision is healing well, although I still have a lot of tenderness and discomfort in my upper chest. I think it's whats to be expected. I'm anxious to find out just what the pathology report said, when I will start radiation, when I will see the oncologist, and what the plan will be if I don't take tamoxifen. I plan to go back to work on Friday and I'm looking forward to it. I love being at home, but I miss the babies, my friends and the $$$$. I have gotten lots of cards, beautiful flowers, phone calls, visits and hugs. I thank each and everyone of you! This experience, if that is what you want to call it, makes me ever so grateful and is a very humbling feeling. For cancer to be such an ugly word it sure can make a person see life as a true gift and make each day a blessing. I wake up each day now with renewed hope for each precious moment and count ALL my blessings !!!
Rick come over to see me this weekend, as his first outing. He is walking with a walker, but getting stonger everyday. Right now he is going three times a week to outpatient rehab and continues to keep a positive attitude. Thanks for all of you who have sent get well wishes, cards, etc to him. He needs to stay focused and remain positive. Continue to keep him in your prayers.
I LOVE YOU ALL !
