One Year Ago Today

Well we made it thru the first year!!!It was one year ago today I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seems like a 100 years ago so much has happened.

Funny thing is I had my appointment with the reconstruction doctor today and so I guess my prize for making it thru the year is a new boob. He can't do the surgery until late October but I am ready, as long as I don't think about how much it is going to hurt and that in the end I will still have weird boobs, I am ready. So I just have to accept that it's part of the process and jump in with both feet. One thing is for sure I don't want to have to wear the boobus the rest of my life, so I guess it's jump in with both boobs!!

I have been back in Mesquite since Wednesday and I sure miss Cliff. It's great to see the kids but I need my sweetheart to snuggle up with. Yes, he has a cold butt, but it's my honey's butt so that's OK. Charlee had been taking care of Digger so he was fine but I had to get up this morning and mow and trim the yards and clean up all the junk that had blown into the yard. Then I trimmed the palm tree and watered all the plants and cleaned up around the patio furniture. Now it looks really nice again. I may go get some flowers tomorrow to plant in some pots. It is only suppose to be in the middle 90's by Monday so they should do OK. I love this time of year in Nevada it starts to cool off and you know you have all that long wonderful fall and then a short spurt of winter then spring. It's weather to die for.

Unfortunately, Colorado won't be so forgiving more like wet and frigid. Not looking forward to that but will deal with it to be with Cliff. He is really the one who has to deal with it, I just have to sit in the house and look out at it. Still I whine, what a brat. So more doctors next week and then I will find out if they will continue my Herceptin or stop it for awhile. My heart out put is down by 15 % and they will test it again on Tuesday and if it has dropped anymore they will discontinue the Herception till it corrects itself. If it ain't one thing it;s another. I admire the doctors for doing all this shuffling around. My doctors have been "just fabulous darling". I love them all and thank God every night for sending me such wonderful assistance in my hour of need/ So here's to all the people who have been there this year with prayers, love, discussion, suggestions, smiles, friendship, etc! I love you all
