Mapping her chest for surgery

Di is at Dr Mead's (reconstructive doctor) now so that he can "map out" her chest. He literally will draw lines and mark up her body so he can photograph it to send to her breast doctor, Dr Kilbride. So when she arrives Monday for surgery Dr. Kilbride will know what Dr. Head wants to do. Got it? Can't wait to get home and see what it looks like. Maybe she will let me color it in! Maybe it looks like a connect-the-dot thingy! I'm waiting for her call right now. Guess I'll have to wait until after work. She said she could do this Dr's visit alone. Not sure if Terry (her mother) went. She has been able to make almost all her doctor visits. It's hard enough running a business so having her parents around has been a blessing for when I haven't been able to go.

I know she is looking forward to "Girls Night Out" on Friday. It will be her last Hurrah for a while. So, thanks lady friends, for taking care of her.

  3. Clay, I am soooo glad you are doing this! Until now I've had to rely on the Jewish mother's contingent to tell me every in very dramatic fashion. Not that it's not dramatic, but you know. Anyway, keep it coming!

  4. Girls Night Out, sounds like just what the dr. ordered. Laughter & dancing is such a great relief for stress. So you go get 'em girl, shake your booty for me. Anything you all need, just shout. Praying for you both always. Val and Kyle

  5. I am a business associate of Clay. I have a precancerous contiton, but nothing compared to what you are going through. My thoughts are with you. I have quite a few business associates with breast cancer, and I am happy to say they have been through it, and are fine today. I thankfully say after five plus years they are still going strong. The break through in medical procudures today is amazing. I am happy we live in today and not 20 years ago. I will be thinking of you both :) Sandy Lynch
