Staying alive, and sane
Yet again, it has been so long since I have written, that I have a hard time figuring out what I actually want to say… and how much or how little to talk about. I even started THIS post two months ago, on the 5 year anniversary of my 12-hour-equals-8.5-pounds-of-weight-off-my-chest surgery. To be honest, I wonder […]
So to answer the quick & easy thing, drains didn’t come out today, but Righty was down to 20 cc last night, so if she stays low tonight, I’m calling in the AM. Lefty was 35… we’ll see. Today I met with my Medical Oncologist, and he confirmed that I really, really don’t have to […]
Not using the previously mentioned title out of respect for getting songs stuck in your heads… and since I was not in the mood for the song I’d previously identified when I posted last. So as expected, the drains didn’t come out at my appointment on Friday. And even though I sat around all weekend, […]
At this point I’m assuming anyone bothering to keep up with my trip knows me at least a little, so you may be familiar with the fact that I have a constant internal soundtrack going… and I regularly give moments a theme song. So if my titles get a song stuck in your heads… sorry. […]
It’s ironic to me, I’ve had “Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing” in my Amazon cart for a couple of weeks (I tend to pile things up until I come up with something I can’t wait for, then I place my order) thinking that it would make fun reading for my Fourth-grader… And today I […]
I know that’s not an “acceptable” term, but I never promised to be PC. It’s now been two and a half weeks that I’ve been running around in this thing (yes, I have two, so they do get washed) but I just feel like it’s an undergarment all of the time. I also know that […]
I’m a little out of it this AM- I woke up in more pain than I’ve had for a while, and when the Robaxin (muscle relaxant) and a couple of Aleve didn’t cut it, I’ve added in the Oxy again. I HATE how it makes me feel (see As You Wish) but it makes me stop hurting, […]
Just a quick update today. It was my first day home by myself, which would have been fine if I didn’t get a call that plastics wanted to see me ASAP. They heard from my surgical oncologist that I had some redness on Monday, and they wanted to check since I’ve got the tissue expanders […]
Not much new at today’s appointment, I got a lot more words that don’t mean much to me yet… doing research tonight on things like Nuclear Pleomorphism (mine is 3 points and severe… whatever that means) which is evidently a part of the Nottingham Grade, which we knew is 3. But other than getting the […]
I sent my boys (husband, 9-year-old, and father who is visiting from Arizona) out to go watch the Boeing Classic at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge today, and I think they’ll be out a while since I was in enough pain this morning that I not only bit off each of their heads this morning, but started […]
