Happy New Year!
I just wanted to drop a note that I have not gotten the path reports yet. It should be soon and I will post the results.

I have been in quite a little pain the past few days. I have these repulsive drains in that are causing me stress. I could have gotten them out Friday, but my surgeon was in surgery all day...grrrrrrrrrrr... :)
So I should get them pulled out by Tuesday..

If it was not for this husband I have, I could not have gotten through these past few days... he even empties the drains.. as I CANNOT watch that nasty...GROSS! Changes my dressings, keeps up with my pain pills and generally is my 100% care giver!
He is an angel... Thank you baby!

I am still sleeping upright in my recliner... maybe after the drains come out, I can get back to our bed...

So far, I am healing very fast.. I am just not happy...LOL....
By far, for me, surgery was worse than Chemo... I will have to have physical therapy for my arm they took the nodes out of.. it just kinda stopped working...they say it will be fine 6 weeks from now.... better be!

Well, just want to let you know I am still here, recovering.. and protesting cancer at the same time...I feel I deserve to complain a little at this point.

I have wanted to write thank you cards.. but I can type now.. but cannot write with my left hand.. it gives out right now...grrrrrrrrrrrrr...

So, Sue H., I hope you are reading this... THANK you for the Christmas Ornament .. it was perfect and very thoughtful!

Thank you for all the phone calls and calls to my parents! Thank you for NOT sending flowers to the hospital per my request....and thank you for continuing to pray for me and my family.

Gods Love,
Laura
