Part 30: Ported From Angel Network Posts: Blogging for Breast Cancer, Second Round
This should catch you up…I didn’t feel it was prudent to post while I was away in the hospital, so I posted on a private page. Thank you to all the people who joined that network, who commented and cheered me on.

Good night!
Thank you for all of the phone calls and messages of support. Almost got my warrior clothes on. Unconsciously put on a pink sweater.
Two places to wait.
I chose without.

Eleven Days In
Many thanks to all of my bosom buddies who have been contacting me, or trying to. Life has kind of spun and rolled away from me and I am just getting through the days.

Just When You Think …
Lucy, my aide, and I were watching some old Ted Lasso until late and then it was finally time to conk out. I went to the bathroom, (it’s very hard to sit, the pressure on the back left leg incision has been hell) got up and thought I had missed the bowl. Fluid was pouring out of me. I’m thinking “well how in the hell did that happen?”
Feeling Crotchety
I’m sitting here in the recliner waiting for the visiting nurse. The problem is that the incision which actually goes around half my upper thigh, used to harvest skin and fat for the creation of a breast, has opened. I felt the wound and was appalled: if i could take a look I’d be able to see clear to my tonsils. It is a HUGE, deep cavern.

Daily Activity: Waiting For Visiting Nurse
Yesterday, a different nurse came who subbed for the usual one on her day off. She was able to pack my dressings so that I almost made it through the night, dry. They changed the whole paradigm to a different, more absorbent waterproof stuffing. This nurse was brilliant but not my regular and likely won’t be coming back but who is in touch with my nurse. I like the brainstorming aspect.
