Time

I realize some time has passed since my last update. I'm sorry for that. I have not had any news to share really. I have had a few Dr cancellations on their part and on mine so now we are up to date. Last week I had my firs injection for my expander's to stretch the skin needed for my perky implants that I will be getting. No matter what size you want to be they need to do this. I just feels like tightening of the skin for 5 days or so. I will be injected every 10-14 days. I went for my follow up appointment with the breast surgeon and she asked me to raise my arms up and I couldn't do it very well so she sent me for therapy. Today was my evaluation. It was not pleasant but it is needed. I will go for and hour every other day. My range of motion on the right arm, which had the simple mastectomy on is about 150 degrees with some help from the therapist. My range of motion on the left arm which had the modified mastectomy is about 70 degrees with a lot of help from the therapist. I see the oncologist on Thursday. Other than that I have been gradually getting more energy back. My hair is starting to grow back too. I had to shave my legs the other day. WOW! With school starting the kids are in to their routines and I can schedule all the medical appointments with out disrupting their day. I'll update again after my appointment with the oncologist on Thursday.
Stay warm. Brr it's cold out there.
Keep the prayers going for me.
Thanks a bundle.
Peace
