Progress

Today was a fantabulous day (you know I like to make up my own words) and even though it’s early in the day I am about to go to bed.... Why?? After I took the kids to school, I did my first trip to the grocery store. My first trip in over a month BY MYSELF and it felt good. These are the little things in life that we all take for granted until it’s snatched away by the likes of cancer….well I’m here to tell cancer that I am getting stronger each day, and as the kids would say…nana nana boo boo….. to damn cancer….I got this beat!!! This disease picked the wrong b to mess with....

Okay back to my day….I also got to pump my own gas too….now this may not sound like a big deal to some, but to me gaining independence is a big deal and I know I am impatient, stubborn and hard-headed, but walk a mile in my shoes I guaran-damn-tee you would be too….

I get to my docs office with the hopes….high hopes that I will begin my fills. I have been doing everything they told me since my last visit….resting, massages, no lifting and resting.

My surgeon’s wife is also in practice with him and when she walked in I could see why he married her….she’s smart and beautiful. I’m not one of these chicks that is a chick hater…I call a spade a spade and she was downright F-I-N-E…..If I was a dude, or a chick into chicks I would have flirted with her….right there out in the open….now my surgeon is nothing to sneeze at, he is F-I-N-E as well so it would stand to reason his wife would not look like dog poo….5’6, 110lbs, 7.5 size shoe and a booty tight enough to rocket a cherry to Kentucky….but I wasn’t looking that hard….hahahahahaJ

She checked my incision, told me my edema was softening up nicely and that I would receive my first fill….I wanted to kiss her….seriously…..

I received 50cc on each side and even had some feeling. Ya see the nerves are temporarily damaged with this type of surgery and the fact that I am having some feeling means I am making progress….again I wanted to kiss her….seriously…..

Together, patience and prayer are powerful…I have been sad, most days happy, but I have had my moments. I believe I am on the upswing to my journey. While this may look like a small tragedy and people are compelled to feel sorry for me or question why, I am reminded by my dear friend Diane, who not too long ago went through the same ordeal…says why not you? So my day was a busy one, I will pick up my kids, get dinner and take my tired self to bed today....I have had progress in my recovery and that has worn me out;)

So as I am patient in my healing process I continue to learn more about the disease and how I can help when I am fully recovered. I am considering doing the 3 day walk in October, maybe not the whole 3 days but at least the commitment for the 5K. Women should not have to suffer and in my particular case early detection is what SAVED MY LIFE…..
