The simple things - Day 7 post lumpectomy
How we take things for granted...
I managed to properly wash AND straighten my hair this morning! I still can't get my arm up over my head so i was twisting and turning like a circus contortionist ...

Hi Trace,
checked out the art on your link, you are so talented! I loved the Christmas trees & kookaburras. You have so got to get back into your drawing & painting, might help you regain that "slap that bitch" attitude. I'm sure you are aware of art therapy used to help children in distress. I wonder if perhaps you could put your mixed feelings on paper, what that artwork would look like?
That numbness you talk about is protective, almost therapeutic. So too are the simple mundane activities of every day life. Keep on living the beautiful life you have built with those you love, hold on to the so many good things in your life, and just deal with today. Your confidence has taken a hit, but you are strong and courageous and beautiful, and you are not alone. I'll be thinking of you on Friday, you will get through this, with love, Tracey ??
