A little out of time

I am home, but it is not easy for me to Type. I stayed in hospital for two nights since we were having some trouble getting me off the morphine and onto Percoset with good results. I am mildly allergic to each, I have found out - makes me itch!

My home health aide came today and helped me take off the bandages and take a shower.

I am a pro already at emptying my drains and have not had any breakdowns about the breast not being there. The node dissection seems to be giving me the most pain. My upper arm on the inside is numb as is from above the cut to my clavicle and across to my shoulder. Since this is not permanent numbness, it either hurts or doesn't. Strange things those nerves are.

I am not sure how I am going to progress, especially since there is nothing I can do until the pathology comes back as far as next steps.

I am going to call my oncologist and ask about hormone therapy. I hope to have an appointment soon with Dr. Girshovich sometime after May 8th when I get the drains removed.

More California and breast talk soon.
