My Breast Cancer Update - July 14, 2014

At home, recovering.  Started working on my Online Business, and making new Greeting Cards (One of my new cards for sale - Notice the butterflies are pink :  https://www.etsy.com/listing/196397446/happy-birthday-100-handmade-greeting?ref=shop_home_active_1 ).  I have all the time in the World, right now; since I am not allowed to do much of anything else.  My body is, actually, agreeing ... I get tired, so easily.  According to my Home Care Health Nurse, I am healing beautifully.  Now, that I no longer have the numbing medication attached; I am, actually, starting to feel real pain ... so, I have been taking my pain prescription, which makes me sleep a lot.  I have a high threshold for pain, so since I am feeling a lot of pain, right now; I know that it must be, really, excrutiating pain.  The pathology report still hasn't come yet; or it has not been revealed to me, yet ... so I have no idea if, at least, the worst, is behind me, or not.  I see my surgeon for my follow-up this Thursday.  I just wanted to give an update, on my breast cancer journey.

Breast Cancer Update ... July 11, 2014

I did have my surgery on July 9th ... obviously, it went well; I am communicating with you, right now. I'm on my computer. Was very adamant about not staying in the hospital. They did keep me for one day, though. The surgeon, after making me agree to a whole bunch of restrictions ... no driving, no cooking, a lot of bed rest, home health care, etc., did discharge me, yesterday. Since being home, I have been doing a lot of sleeping ... I am just so tired.  I am still in the early stages of recovering; I have been sleeping a lot, etc.  I am still waiting on the pathology report, to make sure that the Cancer did not spread.  However, I am upbeat, now, that the tumor has been removed from my body ... and, I will do whatever I have to, to make a full recovery.
