*sigh* I was holding off on posting this, as I was hoping it would “go away”. But so many readers, as well as my family and friends, are probably wondering why my presence has been erratic. There was the funeral, of course. Everything related to that has taken it’s toll, and now I am just […]
A lot of my long distance friends have wanted to see my new post-chemo curly hair. Although I wish I could have my straight hair back *LOL* I was getting sick of seeing my picture with my scarf. So, I’ve finally updated the blog with a new picture. (A small disclaimer, however. 🙂 This is
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. Things have been kinda hectic around here. I went back to work, as previously announced, on August 24th. I’m very tired and sore, but coping. Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things. The kids went back to school on August 31st. This year, all three
Well, my rest time, post surgery, is coming to an end. The doctor said I needed to wait 4-6 weeks before returning to work. I chose to go back in 4 week. The doctor certified me for the 21st..which is a Friday, and makes no sense. So, I will be going back on Monday, the
Well, I officially stopped wearing my scarves about a week ago. Unfortunately, while I have hair, it is not…normal. I guess that’s to be expected after everything I’m going through. First off, my hair is *groans* curly. The way I have always preferred to style my hair, pre-chemo, curliness is definitely not a blessing. I

Wow! I did not expect to be feeling this much pain after the surgery. This is worse than the full abdominal surgery. *sigh* I spoke to the doctor and she said that it is actually more painful, because laparoscopy irritates the abdominal wall. 3 days later, and I still have to have help getting up
Well, the surgery is over. Luckily, I guess, it DID end up being a same day thing. The doctor did end up repairing the hernia through laparoscopic methods. However, there were a LOT of adhesions, as we suspected. Somehow, I managed to get 8 incisions…luckily all closed up with surgical glue. I was expected maybe
Well, this is probably my last posting before surgery. Tomorrow I will be making the hour hike to the hospital to get the hernia repaired. I’m not sure how long I will be there. The doctor said maybe same day, but she is not too hopeful. Since I had two recent surgeries in that area, the chance
Had to go for blood work, today. Silly me, I forgot to hand in the script when I was doing the pre-admission stuff last week. My oncologist said they would have done it at the same time. So, extra trip and an extra stick for me! Of course, the technician missed the vein and had
Well, my surgery is finally scheduled! Well, for the hernia repair, at least. Looks like this will not be a combo surgery, after all, and the adrenal gland will have to be addressed at another time. The hernia surgery will be on Tuesday the 21st. (I got to go for pre-admission stuff tomorrow.) At least I won’t
