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.

July 2, 2014 Cancer Update! Now, Just Waiting On My Surgery ...

Well, blood work completed!  Also, received a little more good news; assuming that the surgery go well, etc. ... and, that is that I will be able to go home the same day (of course, I'm supposed to go straight to bed).  Previously, I was told that I had to remain at the hospital for, at least, one night.  Then, a nurse would be coming to my house, every day, to check my vitals, change my dressing, etc.  I figure that it is, really, because the Insurance Company informed them that they prefer to not pay for an overnight, or more, stay in the hospital.  They, really, want to treat us like we are stupid, and, don't know the real reasoning behind their decisions.  But, as long as my release is a safe decision, for me; I rather be home, anyway; than in a cold, noisy hospital!

Cancer Update July 1, 2014? A Wasted Trip ... A Waste of My Time!

First, survived all of the severe t-storms that passed through, during the night. So, I had a 7:00 a.m. appointment, today, to go have blood work for my surgery, at Hospital. Kept my appointment. Along the way saw a whole lot of damaged trees, limbs in the roadway, on the side, on the grass, etc. There were lights, even, busted and on the ground. They look so huge when they are on the ground, and not hanging, the way that one are used to seeing them. So, of course, there were a lot of non-working lights, and stop signs, posted, instead. And, yes, there were those disrespectful, dangerous, drivers, that could not/would not wait their turn, and would go out of turn, that you had to watch out for, to avoid being in an accident. Saw a lot of flooded areas, also. Anyway, I made it through ALL of these hazards, just to get to the hospital ... and NO POWER; their back-up generator didn't, even, kick in! I'm scared of them ... can you imagine being a patient there, where your life depended on electricity, for LIFE SUPPORT, and that happened??? Luckily, when I inquired of one of the staff regarding this, she CLAIMS that all of these patients are okay, and in good hands. Media rhetoric (trying to do damage control)? I have no idea; I just pray that this statement is true. Nevertheless, no blood drawn today, for me! I stuck around for an hour and a half waiting; finally, asked again how long ... and was told that their people could not figure out why the back up did not kick in, and that they were waiting for ComEd (our electric supplier, for anyone that doesn't know), to come. I left, and went to GFS ... same problem! Why have a back-up generator, if it isn't going to kick in, and work, when it is needed? So, I, sadly, and reluctantly, came back home. — feeling so dejected.
