Got up late - had a hell of a night - dreaming the most weird stuff - how is it one can dream about things that one has never seem before or heard of before? Very scary but George was there to save me as he always has been!!
Feeling a lot better today - no crying!
I had to prepare myself for the onslaught of friends from work - Stephanie, Brenda, Kunpriye, Bibi, Elvira and Denise - all showed up with food and drink and good humour. It was great - they fed George and I and no cleanup or mess. It was so great to see them all - we all sat around the dining room table and laughed and learned things about one another. It doesn't get any better. Thanks so much girls - love you all. :)
My wonderful daughter called me today and she has been checking up on the lymphodema situation of breast cancer patients. She knows I am concerned about that and with this second surgery - it might be more of a factor for me. So her research has found a few people local that do massage therapy for this type of thing and wants me to go and see someone. Firstly they do a measurement of the arm etc. prior to the surgery and then they have something to measure against afterwards. So I will certainly look into it - (Coronation Street was on when she called, so I didn't get all the details, but I will talk to her tomorrow and look into it myself)!
Drs office called me to arrange the pre-op - it will happen on Thursday next week - so I won't be available Thursday and Friday next week.
I was telling the girls today a story about a little girl we met in the hairdressers last week when Nicole was having her hair done. She had met a lady in the library that is battling cancer and she was telling her she was going to get a wig - well the little girl decided she would cut off her own hair to give to her friend for her wig. So there she was as perky as can be - delighted to donate her hair for her friend. The hairdresser cut it off at the nape of the neck and gave her the treatment with a wash and style - she looks fantastic and was thrilled. She couldn't understand why they couldn't make the wig there and then - but her mother explained they would send it to someone who could do it and make it right. So cute. So you see - people are wonderful wherever you go - I think it is the nature of most people to help others - and it doesn't matter what age.
Well for all of you that are getting prepared for the "run for the cure" on Sunday - I am with you and encourage you and will be supporting you every step of the way. Be careful what you are doing out there - I hope the weather cooperates - it might be cool but probably that's better than hot - so take it easy out there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - I never thought I would be in the position to be on the receiving end of this type of event - but I can tell you I am grateful.
Well folks - it has been a great day - I am feeling mello - and no - it isn't the wine. I have a smile on my face and today I feel blessed and that my life is good. (Don't make me cry now)!
