Laughter is Truly the Best Medicine!

Antibotics are kicking in...I'm finally feeling better! Saturday night, I even went to a friends house for a get together with some girls from high school. I was sober but truly enjoyed watching 40+ year old girls at 2am trying to relive their old cheerleading days by doing cartwheels, round-offs, and "herkies"...(whatever those are). Luckily, I didn't have to drive anyone to the ER with broken bones.

The best part of the night was the laughter...my belly hurt...and it was great medicine for me...I'm very glad I went but the late night took a toll on me yesterday!

This week I have various doctors appointments...I was hoping to get my stitches out today but they were "too busy" for me...(supposedly) I get rid of them tomorrow morning. It's really ridiculous...I've had these stitches in for 26 days now...and the area still looks like crap. If they wouldn't have done such a shitty job stitching me up in the first place, I could have re-bonded with my bra weeks ago and been amongst the public again.

I also have an appointment with Dr. Yagan who is my Pulmonary Dr...the one I like...although he's been on my shit list for referring me to this shitty ass surgeon...he'll be getting an ear full about that crappy call. I'm hoping he'll be able to answer some questions for me...mainly, did this freakin' procedure work or not! As of today, my shortness of breath is not too bad. I ran some errands for the 1st time in ages...got along pretty well...just found myself sucking air a little bit here and there...not nearly as bad as it has been...so I'm keeping my hopes alive...which has been a feat in itself lately.

At this time we are still on for chemo this week...never thought I'd be excited about going to chemo...but I need my juice...scares me going so long without it. I just hope it doesn't kick my butt too hard because...(CALL ME CRAZY)...Zoey and I have plans to go on a float trip with a big group of friends this weekend. On second thought...don't call me crazy...my cell phone minute overage is killing me right now. Not to worry...we're staying at a motel...not in tents...and I actually will NOT be joining them on the river...I'll be the one left behind to read my book along the bank of the river waiting for their return.
