I am continuing to heal after surgery. I am doing my stretching and movement exercises to losen up my left arm. Mobility is improving. There is still numbness under my left arm. I have to look in the mirror when I am putting on deodorant on left armpit because it is numb and I can't feel it. That should regain feeling as I heal more.
My sister and I went to Zaza's today and had pedicures. I have not had a professional pedicure since I started on chemo. It was to nice to get my toes done. Now I have pretty toes for sandle season.
Yesterday I had lunch with my Auntie Betty. She is a breast cancer survivor. It is nice to be able to talk to her about side effects and know I'm not alone in experiencing some of these things.
My doctors are really happy with how I have been handling things through this entire process and how well I did during chemo. I have been doing my best to keep a positive attitude during this time. I was not gonna let cancer stop me. I have plans for my future and we gotta get through this and get back to working on my plans. My surgeon asked if I would be willing to speak to other cancer patients who are having a hard time. Of course I would! She did say we had to wait until I have all my hair back before I do it though. I am not saying it was always easy but I did try/am trying to live as normal a life as I can during treatments.
YAY! Dark-haired girls are the best kind. ;-)
