I marvel at the human body! It is all so connected and delicate, yet resiliant!
Most days I feel like I am doing really good. I work daily on my stretching, etc. Ever competitive and pushing myself, I want to have my full range of motion back...like yesterday. Ha!
Again, I think I am doing well. But if I use my right arm very much it causes tingling and sometime pure numbness from my shoulder all the way down my arm to the fingertips. It is like I have carpal tunnel or something. I worry about frozen shoulder, hence my push on exercising. I am sure it will go away in time. I think I also have some weird nerve stuff going on too because if I move even slightly the wrong way I feel like I have been poked across the chest with a taser. Shockingly painful but brief.
I saw my Radiology Oncologist last Thursday...for 2 hours. I have to go back tomorrow to see him again for a "planning session". Tomorrow has got to be different from my 2 hour session on Thursday. He needed the full 2 hours to explain all the risks of radiation and how it causes cancer, not unlike the similar risks of chemo. And how my team (Dr. Grant, Dr. O and himself) feel like I am at too high a risk to NOT do radiation. I left there honestly as depressed as I have been in a while. Maybe not depressed...that is the wrong word. More like deflated. I gave myself about a half a day to wallow in it. Then I grabbed the kids and took them to the beach. I will post pictures soon. By the way, I really do like the Radiology Oncologist (despite my tongue in cheek synopsis of our marathon appointment). He is just doing his job by making me aware of all the fine print.
I have come up with an ingenious ploy to get more kisses out of the kids. I tell them if they will kiss me all over my bald head my hair will grow back faster. It seems to be working, although my hair is not growing very fast. lol
These kids of mine are simply remarkable (aren't all kids? yes!). Oscar has been so incredibly caring and loving and careful with me. He is just so awesome. And Angelica too! She cracks me up daily. She wants to play "Princess" all the time now. She lays out all the rules in that cute 3-year-old, bossy way that scares me senseless when I think about her at 13. I am always the princess. She, on the other hand, is another character...different every time. She makes up names for herself. Names like "Caravel" or "Dorba" or today's: "KursaLeeLee". LOL I guess I can understand. I used to call myself Beumadean Scleevage...but not until my late teens. ROFL

Good Morning Mimi,
Loved reading your blog, but my heart aches to hear what a toll the cancer takes on you. And then when I read your stories about the kids and how they delight you and shower you with so much love and kindness my heart soars!
I miss you more than you can know.
My prayer is that God will give you a healing touch today - sending all my love.

Hi Maureen,
Thank you so much for keeping us updated. I love seeing pictures of the kids...especially mud wrestling!. You are like the energizer bunny.
I am so glad things are looking up. You are in the home stretch now. I'll continue to pray for full and complete recovery.
Much Love, Janet
You are doing great!!! It is good to get all the information in regards to rads...it is very intense...you are going to do great...I am going to PM you tomorrow more specific's that may help.
The nerve issues etc. sound very natural after surgery like you have had....I still have lots of those types of things(since I have had 9+ surgeries) the good thing is you are healing and I think nerves firing is a good sign of good healing.
You are a princess and thank goodness you are surrounded by so many interesting characters to keep you entertained. The joy the kiddos are able to give you is the best medicine...right??
Take good care of yourself...fists up...you are movin' on down the road!!! JoAnna
