I was in sooo much pain last night, more than any night so far. I don't know if it is the swelling going down or if I just did too much. I loaded the dishwasher and did laundry and now I hurt like hell. My pain pills are helping a little bit. I wanted to take another one, but I didn't cause it says every 6 hours. My doctor told me not to do any house work. Well, I figured that was over a week ago, it would be ok now. NOT!! Today, I just feel really tender. I'll get an update soon. I see three different doctors, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, I'm way too young to be seeing this many doctors. Enough about breast cancer for now. c-ya at the tables.

Pokerkitty if the doctor say's not to do any house work, why are you doing housework? Why not take it easy so the healing process can take place? Now you need to just take it easy no matter how much you don't want to. You better be glad I am not there. I am the kind of nurse that makes you do what your supposed to. But I am not mean. However you need to listen because the doctor it telling you what is best. And we want the best. Okee Dokee!

I'm so sorry for the pain! That sucks! I have said a special prayer for the pain now.

Pokerkitty I was reading the newspaper today.

And an article about a breast cancer fund raiser

caught my eye. It is being held in Colusa a little

town about 30 miles west from where I live.

Any way I thought of you as I have been a lot

lately. I wanted to share this with you because

I thought what they were calling it was way cool.

So I thought you might appreciate it......

"Bowling for Boobs" Lol What a great idea!

Isn't that something? I always stop for breast cancer

fund raisers. I think it is a great way to help.

Hope you are feeling better today!

Pokerkitty- here are lyrics to a song by one of our favorite bands that has had me thinking of you lately. I hope it can help you get through these times a little easier. I'll also post a link to a video so you can hear what it sounds like.

It's called "Pink" and it's by a group called Carbon Leaf.

So, she catches herself
When she looks down, or too far away
She knows the pain in her side
Is just a mirage and mirages will fade

And so it begins, the mirage settles in
But the sky is light pink before violet
Cause everything's now, everything's now
She notices everything

As she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink

So, she shows all her teeth when
She's taking the photos, she knows she has friends
She wants colors like these to
Remind her of being a young girl again

She quietly pleads, God just remove
Everything that the doctors don't see
Cause everything's now, everything's now
Please remove everything that's not me

And she puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink

She puts on the pink
Her world turns to pink

She puts on the pink(7x)
She puts on the pink...

I got my other drain removed today, yay! After that, I went to have a PET scan. I have never had one before. If you have ever had melanoma before, you have to tell them because they have to take deeper images. I also learned you should not hold an infant of toddler for about 20 minutes after your scan because the radiation from you could affect their tyroid. Never heard that before. Oh well, live and learn. I can see how people freak out getting PET scan's because you are sliding back and forth in a big tube, after they inject you with purple dye. In the situations, I just take little cat naps. That seems to work best for me. After I got home today, I got the worst headace. I wonder if it is from the dye. Surgery for my port is still scheduled for Tue. I tell ya breast cancer is a pain in the ***!! No doubt about it. Not only for me, but for Tony too!! I saw on tv today hot dog warnings and cancer. I have been told some of the top cancer causing foods are hot dogs, bacon, sausage, and french fries. There is so much to learn and I bet whoever is reading this learned something about PET scans today. I know I did. C-ya at the tables.

Before you know it we will be singing Christmas Carols.

Unfortunately Kitty there are carcinogens in just about everything that is around us. From the very foods we eat to the air we breath even the sun we live under. There is really no way they can be avoided. You will learn alot of more things about cancer now that it has you full attention.

I am sorry you have a head ache today. It is prob a combo of a few things. The anticipation of what is to come, the dye, a long day, worry. I will remind you that there is nothing you can change by worry. The only thing that worry and stress is going to do is make you sick. I know it is easier said than done but it is sooooo important. It is so important for you to stay as healthy as you can both in mind and body. I know you are worried about Tony and him having to much, but he is tough and It's obvious he is with you for the duration. So let him be there for you.

You are in my thoughts and prayers more than you know.

Much Love,
Lori
