Hello My Booble Followers!!
Thank you for checking back in with my blog! I am very, very happy to report that I have been home from the hospital since last Friday evening. I was in the hospital starting Thursday morning for surgery and recovery, stayed Thursday night and almost all day on Friday, but was home by around 8pm. It was SO nice to come home and sleep in my own place. I crashed on the couch ~ I have a very comfy couch!! And it allowed me to sleep on my side ~ which was so much better than the hospital were I had to sleep on my back (so uncomfortable!). Pillows were used to prop me up on one side and off I went to sleep! I woke up around 7am to go to the bathroom ~ and for anyone that has had to stay the night, or any time at all in a hospital, you know how difficult that can be! My ability to just stand up, walk to my bathroom and go was a great feeling! I wasn't attached to anything!!!!!
Since I have been home, I have started to catch up on sleep ~ but notice that I can sleep almost at the drop of a hat during the day, but it takes me a while to fall asleep at night! I really hope this isn't going to be a new trend for me! My mom has been taking the best care of me and so has the rest of my family and friends. My wonderful Aunt Cathi and cousin AnMarie have been here a few days since I have been home...(1) to check on me (2) to help my mom with stuff and (3) to get my mom out of the condo for a little while! Speaking of getting out, I have now taken two walking trips to my mailbox and a car ride to the post office! It was nice to get out for a little while, but it is still so hot here in Phoenix that no one wants to stay out too long!
My roomie/eoomie, Alyssa, has been a dream. Some of you were in contact with here when I was in the hospital. She became my personal Medial Communication Specialist when I was unable to text, talk for Facebook! Not only that, but she along with my friend Lizzie have planned and executed the Meals-on-Wheels for Heather program! The wonderful group of people I have become the best of friends with from Team In Training along with co-workers have signed up to cook and/or order dinner so that my mom and I don't have to worry about it. It was been wonderful and I am forever indebted to each of these people for for their generosity and kindness they are showing to me and my family!
What else ~ oh, I have a follow up appointment this Friday with my Surgeon and next Tuesday with my Oncologist, so I'm guess I will know more then and can update from there! Thank you to everyone who has checked in on me during all of this. I really appreciate it! I will leave you with this ~ I'm feeling pretty good. Sore, but not in a lot of pain. I'm sleeping pretty well (albeit maybe at the wrong hours, but sleep is sleep, right!!), and I'm in good spirits! I know there is still a long road a head of me, but I'm willing and able to make the journey ~ hopefully with really cute shoes on!
Love to all of you! Check back in a few days for additional updates!
Hugs and Smiles!!
