I have breast cancer. :-(((

Thanks for dragging yourself to the computer to send us an update. You are wonderful, and I hope your recovery goes well. :flowers:
 
I'm enjoying surfing, not typing much...taking it very easy. Just copying and pasting so here's my friends/family update for this morning:

I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better this morning!!! Finally able to sleep more than an hour without waking up due to some kind of pain or itching! I think I got about 6 hours of sleep. AND, I can now get in and out of bed on my own! (It sure is hard to move when both your legs AND arms hurt! Thankfully I have strong abs, LOL) Amazing how much time, Demerol, and decent sleep helps. My progress is exponentially improving hour by hour! Definitely feel like I am past the worst of it!
 
Glad to know you are out of surgery and home. Thinking of you simple girl! Sleep.....rest....lounge around...repeat. :)

You go, simple girl! Demerol is your friend! :dance:
 
I'm so glad you posted! A lot of us here have been thinking about you. Good to see that you are enjoying the meds.
 
To think that I am complaining about my mild depression......! Simple Girl, your courage and positive attitude sure shame me:blush:.
 
Thanks for posting, Simple Girl! I was thinking of you (as I'm sure are many others too shy to post). Rest, relax, lay back, read a good book, take it easy, let that body heal up. You have lots of people including myself sending you positive thoughts and good wishes.
 
So glad you are up and able to post! You are in such great shape, it's got to be an advantage in your recovery!

Was thinking of you and wondering how it went, but I knew you'd be back on the road to recovery immediately. So glad!
 
Simple Girl you are amazing! I'm happy to hear that you are on the road to recovery and hope it is a smooth and fast recovery. Thanks for letting us know how you are doing. Very soon you will be back to the :dance::dance: again.
 
Just seeing this thread. Glad to read that you are on the mend. My prayers are with you. You are indeed an inspiration.
 
SG, you had to get home in a hurry before DH forgot to water the plants!
Take care of yourself and keep resting. You need to milk this hand-and-foot-waiting to the furthest degree possible!
More hippie love to you!

Don't worry, I've been getting those foot rubs daily - I'm a spoiled, lucky wife!

Oh and we r still in Miami!
 
Hi everyone - just a quick update: I'm doing great! I just woke up from a long nap which I very much needed. Not needing as much pain medicine, moving around much better...every day progressing more and more! I'm really pleased with my recovery progress so far!
 
Excellent news SG. Sounds like you're recovering very nicely. Thanks for the update. :)
 
Had my first follow-up appt with the surgeon today, and I am doing great! Healing well, minimal pain at this point - easily managed by pain meds when it does occur. Woo-hoo!!! Very happy!

Got clearance to try the stationary bike today - trying to gradually build up my endurance. Amazing how much major surgery can zap you, no matter how fit you are pre-surgery. I had to sit down and was out of breath just walking from the entry way to the elevator in the doc's building. Prior to surgery I could dance 2 hours straight. Crazy! It will come back, I just need time to slowly build back up.
