At this point it seems like the first wave of “big stuff” is behind me. For the next couple weeks the line up is me in bed, resting and allowing all surgery points to heal. I’ll need to get up and around often, but rest assured the amount of water I’m drinking, I can’t forget the need to get up on my feet.

But once things are healed, off to the oncologist we’ll go to see what course of therapies lay ahead for me..hormonal, radiation and/or chemo. For now, its just a focus on surgical healing, not so bad.

Again, “Cancer By The Day” is just that—- this is not scripted and no one knows what comes next. I do like that we don’t feel alone and know there are so many out there for us…..us all going through it together as I do, by the day. So if you have any questions, ask away in comments…I’m getting them all and running thru my blackberry in bed so quite a nice way to pass time :). We adore you all!

I must say things get a little complex in terms of meds at different times, qnty that vary and overall what comes when. Rest assured Bruce has it all under control in a tidy excel spreadsheet…I can see my excel organizing friends out there smiling…and for me, it’s nice not be the type A character for once! I’m in good hands.

Amazing how time stood still days before being admitted and now, as we get ready to pack up to head home, last three days seems like a blink! ( Of course, I’m sure the meds played a hand in that one)

All the comments and deliveries to hospital have been an overwhelming and just beautiful in your support. Bruce read through all the comments last night and it was just what I hoped it would be to help me get back on high spirits over the physical pain. Greatness all around…and the pain completely tolerable if I don’t move an inch. But just a car ride stands between this bed and my home bed…here I come!
