Have A Little Faith In Me

I haven't written in a few days, not because anything is wrong.  Actually, I am doing pretty well.  I do have some good news.  I found out yesterday that the rest of the BRCA gene test is negative.  That is really great news.  I am happy to be able to keep my ovaries and have one less thing to worry about for Jackie and my nieces.  Also saw the breast surgeon yesterday, Dr. Campbell.  She is amazing.  She has written me three letters since my surgery.  They were very heartfelt and each came at exactly the right time.  I have never written any patient a letter, or received a letter like that from any other doctor before.  She is over the top.  She also thinks that I look great!  My incisions are healing well, and she was very happy with my progress.  She has discharged me into the hands of the plastic surgeon to continue with the next steps of reconstruction.


I also had my hair washed and blown out again yesterday.  Even though I think I am ready to take this task back on for myself, AJ (my hairdresser), is NOT ready to discharge me from her care yet!  She wants me to keep coming in for a little while longer until I am stronger.  Thank you AJ!!!  My hair is looking great!  And I hope to be stronger soon.

It is quiet here now that mom is gone, but food and help keep coming in.  It feels like the second shift has taken over.  Thank you to my Krewe for all of the visits, food, rides for me, and rides to and from camp for the kids.   You all are truly the best.

And I want to say a special thank you to David.  The title of this post (and you tube link) is our wedding song.  Thank you for the support, encouragement, love, and for making me laugh everyday.
