17 Month Post-Op Happy Holiday New Year Roll Call!!!!

Happy Holidays, everyone! How about a 17 month post-op happy holiday near year roll call? Post how you are doing? Holiday/New Year plans? Resolutions? Challenges? Yadda, yadda, yadda! C'mon out of lurkdom folks! Kathy

Ummm....17 month? I'm almost 19 months and I'm doing great. Met doctor's goal of 140 and only 5 from mine. My remodel is almost done (MOVING IN FRIDAY!) and I've recommitted to getting back with my walking/jogging program on Jan 6th. I've joined the Boise Run Walk club and my goal is to walk/jog a marathon at the end of next fall. Anyway, Merry Christmas to all you you! Linda

GEEZ, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I think I added the 7 months up and was going to add it to 12 but added it to 10 instead. Jimney.... I wonder about myself... Kathy

That's ok, we're all entitled to a brain fart and with all you've got going on, who can blame ya. How ya doing anyway?

Oh, I'm hanging on by a thread or two or twenty. LOL! Dog seems to be doing okay which helps. Went to a class today at the Life with Cancer program. Learned a bit. Even got a free mini pillow to cushion my breast from the seatbelt on the way home or for my armpit if they remove nodes. Surgeon is supposed to finally see my breast MRI results tomorrow. The office has 'em, she just hasn't seen 'em. She is supposed to call me. Wanna ask "um, isn't 6.5 cm (2.6 inches) back from the one spot towards the chest wall a good size chunk to remove and would mastectomy be better?" Stuff like that. I do realize that 6.5 cm is a one dimensional measure and not square inches. Even the nurse educator today went "Wow" when I was discussing it. That's me... I wow 'em. Thanks for asking! Kathy

Well, I hope you can put it out of your mind for a few days or at least put it on hold and enjoy the holidays. I know a lot of people are pullin for ya, gal! Linda

Thanks, hon!
