So here we are sitting in pre-op. So much has happened in the last few days. Shortly after my last post I got a message from my doctor that the port for chemo would be put in on Wednesday and told me when/where to check in, what time surgery would be and what time I might expect to be home (4, 6 and 8 respectivally). I happened to mention to the nurse/scheduler that the genetics consultant that I was asked to see told me not to rush on the info because they were really busy, the beginning of the new year would be fine... I received a call with an appt time within 15 min.
Yesterday was a very long day. Up early to get Kira ready for school, Iris to the neighbors, gas up the car and make it to Good Sam before 8:15 to check-in. I got another radioactive isotope injected. Feels like I should be glowing soon. The MUGA scan went great. I dropped off the genetics questionnaire and the went to a Look Great Feel Better class. This is a great class that teaches women going through cancer and chemo how to put on eyebrows and apply make-up the best way. They gave me a makeup kit and a wig. We were just getting to the scarves and headwraps when I had to leave to get to Kira's school to volunteer for an art project. I have to say while sometimes exhausting, I really enjoy doing Art Smart with Kira's class.
Finish at school, rush home, get ready for work and get messages, off to meet Mike on the way to work.
