saturday

i have continued to heal well. i'm getting less tired, and feeling pretty good :) i went to see dr. h on thursday, and he said everything looks great- and he took out my drain!! hooray- drain free once again. he also wrote my prescription for my fake boob. he said that i need to stay on my antibiotics for at least 2 more weeks. i can start chemo again the week of the 12th (yay!). at that point dr. h and dr. c (my oncologist) will decide if i need 3 more weeks of antibiotics or not. dr. h said that i *may* not have to wait soooo long after chemo to start my surgery, but he wants to cross that bridge when we come to it. i asked how we'd know when i'm infection free, and he said that when i am off the antibiotics for 10 days and nothing flares up i'll be in the clear.

i went to Kneuppel's today for my new boob. i find it hysterical that that's their name. now, i realize that they sell lots of other equipment, but really, if you're selling boobs, should that be your name??? i love it. anyway, i'm even again for the time being :) that's cool.

i'm going shopping today with lindz. i have to get an outfit for a baby shower tomorrow. i've gained so much weight that nothing fits me. blurg. i really need to stop eating...

so, onto thank you's! my friends are sooo awesome at work. they have organized a weekly dinner sign up for us, so my co-workers are making us dinner on thursday's. so nice! tracy made us pasta and erika made us a chili dinner, and erika's mom added a big bag from breadsmith filled with yummy rolls and pumpkin bread :)

thanks so much for all of your good thoughts and vibes. i'm feeling much better!
