    just checking in..  My husband finally came home today exactly 1 week after surgery.  This is a very big surgery and it will take him weeks up to (now the doctor says) 3 months.  Before it was 3 to 6 months so I guess this is a good thing.  I am exhausted as he has done most everything since my breast cancer and then leg amputation.  Finding out just how much I can do though but I am exhausted and my stump hurts cause it is bad weather out (rain and thunder and lightning) and my nerves do not like this....

    glad the Dr is saying 3 (as opposed to 6) months.  In the meantime just know that we are all thinking good thoughts for you.

    thanks for all the hugs and good thoughts, they are greatly apreciated.   My husband is such an independent person that other than lifting and bending that he is not suppose to do and yes no driving for 2 weeks (luckily I can still drive with the amputation) he will do what he can for himself..  That's just who he is....  Our son and daughter in law live about 15 minutes away so they are here if we need something.  My daughter who lives 1 1/2 hours away would be here as soon as she could if we needed something too...  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Hey Hoolies, 

    I just finished reading .....boy do you all have a lot going on, as usual. 

    I have a rare extra day off today as the "hurricane" that turned into a tropical storm bypassed my little nook of the woods almost completely, and all of us home hospice nurses have the day off. It feels great to have an extra day to rest, relax and catch up. They say another one is headed this way in a few days, DS heads back to college on Monday so it better not mess with my boy!

    Blondie, how are you doing now that you are not in active treatment? I am hoping that you are comfortable, pain free and happy and enjoying quality family time. Praying for you! xoxo

    G'ma, hope your birthday was as fabulous as you are!

    Gotta run...cooked for 70 all day yesterday for my son's belated wedding reception and have to heat it all up and boil the pasta, finish my laundry and be out of the door by 11! Yikes!

    I made, oven barbecued chicken, sausage and peppers, pasta with meat sauce, baked beans, meat and cheese platters, potato salad, cauliflower with cheese sauce (my little step grand daughter asked me to make that cause she had it at my house and loved it and said it is the only vegetable besides corn that she likes...lol) so am pretty much cooked out at this point!  Only thing left to do is boil the pasta in the morning (12 lbs!) and then bring it to the park. They rented a covered pavilion. We decided not to grill cause then someone has to man it all day and we decided this would be easier (yeah, on them!) on everyone. I thought I was going to have some help from my DIL's mother, but she is just doing desserts. WTH???? Anyway, live and learn. Next time, caterers! LOL

    Love that picture FK and thanks Blondiex - So glad to hear you are feeling better.

    I went in for my check up with my primary and she is awestruck in how much better I am.  She actually said that I even look better.  We did have a discussion about talking to a plastic surgeon, being I was never given an option when I had my lumpectomy..  She basically put in a request saying "back and neck pain and can't wear a bra because of breast pain"..  Being I can't wear a bra, the breasts seem to be so heavy they are contributing to my pain.  I told her I just wanted to see what my options really are and if I could make them smaller, so a bra isn't necessary. My thought is that it might actually help with the sternal, clavicle pain and neck pain..  Am I just being silly? She actually said if she was in my shoes, she would also want them off..  It is nice when your doctor validates your ideas and thoughts.!  

    Here is a good morning picture for you all.. I have to remember - Today is a New Day...
