I have been rather delinquent in keeping up the blog, mainly because I
have returned to the land of the living. I eat dinner, jog a mile, clean
up guinea pig poop, lose my keys, the usual stuff. Next Tuesday, I am
going to have the 2nd mastectomy (remove the normal breast). One might ask
why, and I would only say that I never, let me restate that, I NEVER,
want to have chemo again. And there is no indication that I have or
will have cancer in the other breast.
But, of course, it is not that simple. First, the anesthesiologist. This
is the divine being that did a block, numbed the left side of my chest,
and allowed me to breeze through surgery the lst time. She is
available, but 9 months pregnant. So, if her baby hangs in there, she is
going to do the block. If not, I will put the surgery off until she is
available.
My spouse and I are fairly blase. After someone stole my identity, filed a
false tax return as me, and ran with the money, I just have to juggle a
few forms to the IRS, Federal Trade Commission, credit bureaus, before
surgery. My son just returned from the DC field trip, and my daughter has a
talent show rehearsal the day of surgery. Ted is taking1/2 day,
thinking it will all be as easy as the other one.
To be continued....
