Successful Surgery

Yesterday I went in for a single mastectomy. The surgery went well. My doctor said she got all the cancer tumor that was there. Fortunately it hadn't gone into my muscle under it at all. Yeah!

I am currently feeling well. I have some extra pain medicine in case I need it. At this point I haven't needed it and hopefully won't. I do have a drain still in that I need to empty twice daily. I'll probably have it until this Friday or next Monday. My doctor will take it out when the draining slows down and it looks good to her. I like to leave these decisions to the experts.

The kids stayed with grandma and grandpa Gardner. They happily swam in the pool and had a ball. Hopefully they'll still want to come home!

While I was gone, our Angel Crew showed up and cleaned our home. What a blessing it was to come home to some sparkle and shine. Thank you Angel Crew.

This Thursday I'll see my oncologist and talk about beginning the new chemos. I'm guessing we'll begin on Friday. We'll see when we talk to her. We sure appreciate all she does and the awesome team that works with her. We are blessed.

We are continuing to look up and thank God for each day. And yes, we are still praying for a BIG miracle.

Thankful and rejoicing in today,

Sheri
