time again to go to lemonland. check your lemons or your squeeze's. it's been 2 1/2 weeks since my mastectomy + lymph node surgery. my arm is messed up. the nerves + muscles are cut. i can't believe the pain + numbness + the extent of it. it's down to my elbow + around the back of my shoulder + from the arm pit almost to my waist. next monday, i start physical therapy to prevent permanent "frozen" shoulder. then i meet with a radiation oncologist who will tell me what's going to happen during my 6-week course of daily radiation. i hear it makes you feel exhausted + burned + softens your rib bones. so on that cheery note, check yourself + find anything early, so you don't have to go through all this. i can't count how many tests i've had on my body + i have heart failure from the chemotherapy, which can be avoided if you find cancer early. i have radioactive heart tests monthly now. mod*tot tells her baby dolls she's going to the doctor to check her boobies. it's cute to hear her. she's knows it's important to check her breasts, but sad that her mommy is always going to the doctor . kidshealthgalaxy is a great place to educate kids about hospitals + iv's if they or someone they know has to go to the hospital or have chemotherapy. i hope it made it a lot less scary for her that i had to go to the hospital + to visit me there. by ~mod*mom~ at 6.7.06 © 2 Comments:you are an amazing, strong woman. i know you are going to get through this. i will be checking my lemons and sending you all the get well vibes i can muster!
