Long time, no post

Now, for an internet addict, I'm not doing too well keeping up this blog! However, in my defense, I set this account up in association with my marathon training group for 2007--every year they come up with a different blogging site so I'm not sure anyone even looks at this one although I use it to comment on my other blog friends' sites.

Since my last post, I found out that I was not positive for the breast cancer gene so I opted for a partial mastectomy on the right with reconstruction and reduction on the other side so I'd have a matching pair. TMI, but too bad! I spent 10 days mostly flat on my back before I got released to 50/50 activity. That's when the problem arose. I like to be active ALL the time and I also decided to ease back into work. But, also, with my new and improved physique, I wanted/needed some clothes. Shopping for things I have never been able to wear made me overdo it a bit this week so, right now, I've been in bed for 19 hours running! Soon I will get up and bathe and dress and run an errand or two and then come back for some more bed rest. I need to return some things, get a movie, etc. May try to go to a concert type--the Community Band that I play in usually is having the last concert of the year. I was afraid to commit to playing as I wasn't sure what shape I'd be in so I'll just have to be in the audience--not as fun for me but I do want to support them and listen to the music, too!

I'm waiting to hear when my appointment with the radiation oncologist is to find out when that starts. Going to Cleveland this weekend for a class reunion which will be fun and I'll also get to see my mother--I didn't feel up to driving there for Mother's Day so now I'll get to see her. I didn't want to worry her about my diagnosis so she just thinks I had breast reduction--good thing I told her that because that is OBVIOUS now! I'm still thankful to have such a great prognosis although I wish all incisions would heal and stop worrying me that they are infected.
