July 18

It is now two days past B-day and everything is going well. I was discharged fron the hospital this morning and came to Emily and Reagen's house to recuperate. I have looked at myself and am okay with what I see for now. I saw some pictures of what to expect ahead of time and accepting them took some time but prepared me for this. I have tubes coming out my side and Bob is helping to monitor them. He is a wonderful parter and stayed with me the entire time I was there. As was said already the lymph nodes looked good but we will get the true picture when the pathology report. I am hoping it will be the same. However, I am strong, I am woman, hear me purr.....Ha!
A very dear friend sent the following:

STRONG WOMEN
Live your life in such a way that
when your feet hit th floor in the
morning, Satan shudders and says
"Oh shit.........she's awake!!!"

So my feet have hit the floor and here I go...............
