Starting the journey - Waiting

Hi Debbie, Dette & Josie,

Thanks for you wishes. Surgery over now. I'm home and getting around with my two drainage bottles safely tucked in their carry bag and hoisted over my shoulder! I won't know the full extent of my treatment until I see the doc on the 13th, but she has said I will ned chemo...oh joy...lol...really looking forward to that NOT..much more pain than I was lead to believe, my left arm feels like it has a red hot poker in it jabbing away to remind me its there. ouch..

Josie, I can understand how you felt and I will see a councellor as I feel I am being way too calm about all this. It's as if I'm a third party looking on at it all (apart from the pain) I just know I'm going to fall in a heap at any moment, but I'm taking one day at a time and will not let it get me down.

Nice to sleep in my own bed last night, with my two beautifull cats curled next to me. They know somethings amiss and are lavishing all their love on me. My sister and my partner have been watching over me like eager eagles..but I have 10 mins to myself at the moment as it's the "changing of the guard" wippee...wondering around doing my own thing and checking in here without all the "can I do that forr you?" nice as it is to be cared for, I'm just not used to being clucked over!

I hope you are all doing well and staying strong? Much love xLouisex
