I'm Back! December 10th, 2008

Hello!!!!
I have been fine... but our Internet has been down for a week almost...grrrrrrrrrr
Anyway... I have no blood clots and My heart is doing GREAT! I did gain 9 darn pds of WATER. They say it is from the chemo induced menopause... well they can have it back. I am taking Lasiks.. and so far have lost 5 of the 9.. and still shedding...
I got my tooth pulled today... YUK! My dentist did the best.. he is great.. I am home recovering. Have I mentioned to you all that I HATE ALL OF THIS???
I met with the Breast Surgeon yesterday. They think chemo killed all my cancer... wahoooo... but they cannot get the surgery date until JAN 19Th... that is tooooooooooooooooooooooo far.
Well, I am going to do whatever it takes to get my surgery the end of Dec. we'll see.
Our Company party is this Saturday at Frankie and Johnies in Belton... 7pm... we will all be there.... if anyone is there having dinner come say hi... always welcome!
I will be working in the salon starting the week of the 15th. WAHOOOOOO>.. I get to do Christmas hair..
I feel strong. I think I can pull off 6 hour days... :) maybe more... just don't get me sick!!! :) :) I am trusting you!
The moment I get my surgery date, I will put myself on the books at work!.. I probably will have 5 or 6 days to work before the Christmas Holiday.. it will be so much fun for me !! I think I am going to dig out my Santa hat and where it they whole time....:) :)

Well, Take Care everyone.! I love ya and will see you soon...
I will post here my surgery day and my working days and hours...
Merry Christmas!
Thank those girls for running that Salon for me ... it has been a long road.. and they have learned a lot... but I am so proud of all their efforts!

Gods Love,
Laura
Ps.. I wanna brag...
I have gotten to go to the boats for crab legs( no gambling..:).... out to dinner for a few good FRESH salads and this Friday.. a girl friend is taking me to the mall and maybe out for a cocktail...:)....
It feels so good, after 5 months, to step outside the bubble...I cannot even tell you!
The hell of chemo, was not my hell, the Lord spared me that. My cross was being alone so much.
I think that is why I was and am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Thankful to all of your reading this who sent the cards.. called.. brought food and gifts... I knew I was not always alone.!
Thank you so much!
Hope to see you soon!
Laura
