It's been two weeks since the surgery and I'm healing quite well. The incision in my abdomen is a wicked 12 inches and the reconstructed breast - well, let's just say that I refer to it as my medicine ball. Sorry if that's too graphic for the feint of heart but I'm told by the surgeons that it will take time for everything to settle down.
I've gotten so many great books, ranging from trash novels (great to read while on Vicodin), inspirational books, funny reads, good novels, self-help books, and I'm planning to absorb them all over the next few weeks. There's even one book called "Crazy Sexy Cancer" - I may need to do a late night x-rated blog post on that one!
And of course, I LOVE the Enquirer and the Globe - I'm all current on the latest Hollywood gossip and the most recent updates on the life of Octo-Mom so just give me a call if you want the scoop.
Wow. I think back to a month ago when this all started and I'm just overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from everyone - from meals, books, flowers, visits, phone calls, emails, shuttle trips to and from the airport, and just unsolicited love from everyone. I'm on the mend and feel very uplifted spiritually and emotionally thanks to all of you.
Thank you everyone - and THIS BEARS REPEATING and is a testament to the quality of my co-workres at Cisco: We've raised almost $1,500 for the Susan Komen Foundation and I've inspired over 20 women to get their overdue mammograms since this journey began.
I should know within a week whether the lab tests on the tumors will indicate chemo as a therapy I will have to undergo. Please keep the prayers coming! My current caregiver, Sandy Hargrave, tells me I need to sign off now and behave as I'm getting too rowdy.
