Katie - Trying To Catch Up!
Well first and foremost you should all know that although my apostrophe is not working... I found a second one that if I hit the shift key I magically get an apostrophe! That will do for now till my friend comes tomorrow and maybe he can fix it. I googled it to death and came up empty handed! Haven't figured out the question mark yet though.
So I am back and trying to write about the last several days! Well Thursday was kind of a write off. J and I had his surgeon appointment in Richmond. His surgeon in my opinion is a bit of a douche bag. Great surgeon but no people skills what so ever. J's grandparents drove us there which was nice of them. We went back to their house & I tried trouble shooting some printer problems they were having; however came up empty handed. Lisa came over that day as well - it was really nice to see her.
Friday was hectic. Kim picked me up just after 10 to take me to LMH for a non brain related procedure. In May my doctor found "moderate abnormal cells" on my cervix. I had to have a colposcopy at the hospital and when the results came back I was told I would have to have a procedure called LEEPS (Loop electrosurgical excision procedure). At the time I was terrified and I felt like I had bad luck... First my tumor now this... this information was given to me before I knew the tumor came back a second time. Now after a second brain surgery, medication and now facing treatment in the upcoming weeks - it really didn't seem like that big a deal. And it wasn't. Kim came with me and it was over in 15 minutes. They do localized freezing and shoot you with Adrenaline. There is a reason for that but I already forget why. It made my heart race and my leg shaky. I yapped to the doctor and nurse through the entire procedure but it was tricky not accidentally looking at the 32" LCD screen of my insides. Ohh gross... you are not meant to see your cervix - that is why it is inside. I may have fainted if I had looked. Ok enough about that. I suppose I have a few readers who don't care to know the gory details.
I had lunch that day at Baselines in Fleetwood with Kim and Nancy. I was happy to introduce them because I feel they have such similar personalities. Maybe they will find a new friend in each other through me. It wouldn't be the first time I introduced people who are now friends with each other... it seems to be my thing. i DO NOT set up blind dates however so don't get any ideas! LOL! I had a ginormous club sandwich and a couple Coors light. It was great and such a nice visit with my two friends.
Today was ok. I think I was PMS-ing all day. J and I tried to unpack some of my stuff and made a little head way but it was frustrating and overwhelming trying to make room for me. We managed to leave just after 3 for J's parents as we were going there for dinner. We went a little early because the brackets J ordered came in (for the Jack I had gotten him for his birthday) and he wanted to borrow his dad's tools and get it mounted to the hood of his jeep. 4 hours later... it was done. In the meantime I was reading my book and fell asleep on his parents couch! I woke up to J'S lips giving me a soft kiss. I was groggy and had to wake up a bit before dinner. Laurie made a roast and smooth mashed potatoes, and gravy, veggies and peas and corn. Whatta meal! I hated being on steroids and eating absolutely everything in sight... but secretly I wanted 2nds and was just too full - kinda missed the steroids tonight and tonight only!
It think that is enough of an update. I would like to eventually start writing more meaningful things that go on in my mind not just journal entries about what I do everyday. Unfortunately right now I am just too busy and stressed. I suppose once treatment starts and I am not up to much I will start doing that.
Toodle Loo!!
