Healing Slowly but Surely 9/2/08
It's Tuesday. I think anyway! :) I am healing slowly but surely. The pain is mostly gone and now it's just uncomfortable. The areas around the incisions where the lymph nodes were taken is numb and I am told it will be that way for weeks or months. No real big deal. Just feels strange.I am a little tired but that is getting better. I took a little trip to the post office today and also walked a few blocks.Spirits are good. The frustrating part is not being able to do stuff like lifting and vacuuming (darn it anyway). Shouldn't be doing dishes and the like but they won't do themselves no matter how hard I try to make them.The pathology reports came back today and the margins were clear and the lymph nodes are good. Yay!!!!Still have radiation to deal with but my hope is that will be relatively easy. I expect I will experience some fatigue but overall I think I'll be back to a fairly normal life here soon.Thank you all for your support and prayers. I will see you soon!
