Monday - the start of a new week.  However, to me it is just another day - can't believe how quickly the days and weeks go by.  I spent some time reading outside today - enjoying the weather - it was so lovely.  Then I had a nap this afternoon - well - more than a nap - I got up at 7:30!!  George and I are like ships that pass in the night - I get up at 7:30 and he goes to bed at 8:30.

Today I was supposed to see the surgeon for my follow up visit - but they called Friday to tell me the pathology results were not yet in and postponed the appointment till October 11th.  However, I hoped when I called this morning that they may have heard something and perhaps I could go in after all.  Well it didn't quite happen that way, but the docs secretary called me later today and said the results were finally in and could I go in on Wednesday.  So I was relieved that I didn't have to wait until Oct 11.  Relieved, but nervous at the same time.  I hadn't thought about being nervous - I figured the cancer was now gone and I would have to go through the chemo and radiation and then I was done.  Well, now I am nervous about what they are about to tell me. Is it ok if I say 'shit'!!  I just need to right now.

Nurse came this morning - Shannon - she's great.  She checked he drainage area and didn't think it was infected, although it feels like it is - she also check the incision and pulled the tape off - low and behold no stitches, no staples - just the tape holding everything today - so it was great - it has healed very well and nothing to pull out!

I heard back from my old school friend's brother Allan yesterday - it was good to hear from him and find out about his family and how they are doing.  He gave me contact info. about Carol and so I have everything I need to contact her.  She is in New Zealand and doing well apparently.

Well - tomorrow is another day - we shall see what that brings.
