Just three sleeps left.....:)

    Just three sleeps left until my tissue expander surgery. I have been chemo free for almost two weeks tomorrow, WHOOO!!!! I am still having severe muscle stiffness, fatigue, neuropathy in my fingers and toes and some facial bloat but overall I am recovering well. I am almost back to my normal weight with just 3lbs. to go, all water from the steroids. I HATE THEM!!!!! I have not had any blood work since last chemo so I am assuming my counts are good to go but I won't know until Wednesday morning at pre op, my oncologist thinks we are good to go though. I am very excited but nervous also, I HATE SURGERY! This particular surgery has restrictions of my arms thus keeping me from lifting my little man and caring for him in many ways, like changing diapers:( I am struggling with that aspect of this part of the journey, no lifting more than a gallon of milk for 3-6 weeks possibly. My mother is coming to stay for a few days, but will have to return to work in a day or two. So, I will be pretty dependant on others for a while. Colt is getting so big and so sweet. He is such a blessing to me, his life literally saved mine. I wouldn't have found the tumor had it not grown so rapidly during my pregnancy. He is my little angel boy! Thank you God for him.

    There have been some roller coaster events happening in my life now and I am READY to get off the ride. Thanks to all of you for your love and support through this adventure. I am looking forward to closing the book on the breast cancer part of my life. Surgery, radiation and then Tamox followed by exchange surgery in the fall or winter....check ups check ups check ups....but soon I will have my life back and my appointment book, cancer was a full time job. So, until next time peeps. Peace out!
