One week down!

Hi everyone.
I only have a few minutes before Bill and the kids make it home, and I am finding typing is something that I am having to re-learn! I am sure the drugs have NOTHING to do with that! :) My fingers aren't going where my brain wants them to!!!

Things are coming along just fine. I don't have any drains left (had 5 in the hospital) and an appointment next Thursday for my first "expansion." All of the pathology reports came back negative...so that is a real plus. By doing this surgery (as upside down as it has made my family and my life) I know that my chances of having cancer in the future are significantly lower. I never really thought of the emotional toll this would take on me and mine...but we are a pretty tight group and will make it just fine!

I can't thank all of you enough for the prayers, flowers, thoughts of support, family, and food support. I couldn't have done this without each and every one of your help!

Many more blogs to come...Stephanie!

Here are a few pictures of the kids playing at the pool with the family...they clearly had a great "vacation!"

PS- I still have a nasty case of poison oak...which just adds to the humor! Truthfully!
