Post surgery update

I am heading out of my hibernation cave tomorrow on my first outing, and I cant wait! The last week has sure been a journey .Not sure I could have made it through without all of you! I am thankful to have had a surgery that went so well and also thankful that I had such great care at the hospital.  Kelly continues to be a fantastic wingman. Since surgery, all I have done is sleep. But today I feel like I am getting some energy. I am feeling fairly good but still tired and sore.  I just took Sawyer on a little around the block walk, and sure enjoyed the fresh air. My aunt Eileen has been a godsend, busy cooking, cleaning and looking after me. Nice to have her here visiting and helping. I feel like with her here I have a bit of my mom beside me.

I am off to the doctor on Thursday to get the staples out. After that I am hoping to get more energy feel better each day. I know Amanda mentioned that I would let you all know when I was up to phone calls and visits. I am not yet up to visits but would love to hear from you wonderful friends over the phone to have a visit that way. 

 My main goal is to get feeling strong and well for chemo, which will start within 2 weeks. The plan for chemo is slightly different and a little more aggressive. I will have 6 rounds of exactly what I have been having. It will continue to happen every 21 days. Additionally, I will also receive chemo once a week for the weeks between the original 6 rounds.  With all this going on, I certainly have to stay healthy and positive! I am certain I can do it, especially with the help of all of you. Thanks again everyone.

Keepin you all in the loop, Donna
