Today is the first day that I can say I kind of feel a LITTLE like myself again (other than being sore and tired of the drains and the blisters that I have on my sides). Tim and I made another trip to the Chiropractor this morning which seems to have helped my headache which is a plus too! I got a call yesterday afternoon from Dr. Martin's office about our appointment with the Medical Oncologist. Karen, who does all of the scheduling, was compiling my info for the Tumor Review Meeting on Monday was surprised that no one had called to schedule an appointment for me so we got that taken care of. We meet with Dr. Sohkn on Monday afternoon to discuss the next steps with him and then we go to see Dr. Hulsen on Tuesday afternoon to HOPEFULLY have the last 2 drains removed. 🤞 Other than that, I'm taking it easy and not pushing myself too much; I'm trying to clean up my work email today and get some things taken care of so that I can work from home next week and take the load off of Sandy who has been filling in for me (while doing HER job at the same time)! My biggest accomplishment yesterday was that I did take a walk around the block last night with Tim and Daisy on her nightly stroll to see how I'd do and I was proud of myself for handling it okay; it took longer than normal (apparently Tim gauges his walking speed by the number of songs that he listens to and it took us FIVE where I think he typically can do it in FOUR! I actually was corrected.....he said THREE 😉 ) We did have Jack on standby if I couldn't make the whole trip in case he had to come to get me. Needless to say, I slept pretty well last night. So 11 days post-op and while it's been baby steps each day, I'm getting there. Now, I'm just anxious to hear what comes next from the Oncologist. The boys BOTH have baseball games this weekend but I am not sure if I will be able to make them or not. We're just going to play it by ear and see how I am feeling. If I can't make it, I will at least be able to watch/listen via Gamechanger which is not quite as good as being there in person but I know the boys understand that I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could.
