A Distant Mammary

Well, surgery is scheduled for Friday sometime in the afternoon. I am so happy. Right now it will be a right breast mastectomy with re-construction. Sounds like I should come out with a new boob huh, well, not so much. But I will have the start. Then after radiation, they will actually finish the process. They are doing a MRI guided biopsy of my left breast tomorrow to see if the abnormal cells there are malignant. If they are, I'm not sure what they will do, but that is to think about another day. Right now I am just grateful to get the other one taken care of. As to the title of today's blog, remember if laughter truly is the best medicine, I should be well in about a week. Cliff was giving me a hug and said, "Honey, soon all of this will just be a distant mammary." We about died laughing!!! Then he told me to tell Toby that we would "keep him abreast of things!" He always makes me feel better.

I sent a pattern for a knitted BOOB to my friend Claiborne and told her to knit me a double D till they finish the real thing. Nani Woods sent it to me and we laughed cause you knit an areole and a nipple into it, too funny. Nani has been a life saver as has Sharon Dodd, Linda Peterson, Yvonne Johnson, and Yoli Bell. Always good to talk to people who have been through it, they are the people who are so positive. I love you girls and thanks for sharing your battle scars.

Well let's all stay positive, pray for our family and the doc's and as Big Kenny would say, "Love Everybody".
