Tomorrow will be 21 days with these drains! I'm so ready for them to be out. They have to be below a certain level before they remove them. It's like watching a pot boil water. I noticed the levels are coming down some this weekend so hopefully the drains will come out this week. I'm doing okay, but I wish I was feeling better. Or at least further along in my recovery.
I did get out once this week past week for my sister's 30th Wedding Anniversary surprise party. Her kids did a great job with the party. So inspiring, all of them.
Well that's about all for now. Hope you have a great day!
God Bless,

Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. It's taking some time through this recovery, but I'm getting through it. Slow and steady wins the race right? That's what I keep telling myself. It's day 16 and I still have 2 drains in. I saw the surgeon yesterday and hopefully it won't be too long before they are out (maybe another week.)
I got my pathology results last week from my surgeon. They removed a 2.7 cm tumor from my left breast. They also removed 11 nodes which one had a microscopic cancer. The surgeon is very pleased with the surgery. My official diagnoises is stage II -invasive ductal carcinoma, HER negative. After I heal I will visit the oncologist and then on the radiation.
I have to say this past week my spirits did decline a bit, but that probably has to do more with not being able to regulate my pain. My body has drastically changed in the past months it's hard to mentally catch up with the changes too. I'm feeling hopeful now and ready to move a head.
Okay Jack is calling me to dinner! I think we are having hamburgers! Yum! Thanks for the words of encouragement! Keep them coming! :)
Hugs and Blessings to you ALL!

One Step Forward ...two steps back...
I wish I could report that I'm doing well. I've been having a reaction to the medicine for the last couple of days and last night it just got worse (nausea and vomiting) yuck! I called the doctor this morning and he took me off all medication except for tylenol. Through this whole process I'm finding my body doesn't tolerate to many medicines so it's been difficult.
I am offering up all this for you my friends and family. May we all grow closer to Jesus.
Hugs and Blessings!
