So you're saying I don't have to sleep on the couch anymore?


Ya, that's right. I've been sleeping on the couch for about 10 days. And I didn't even do anything wrong! It started because Di was sleeping on the recliner my mom let us barrow because it was much more comfortable to sleep on with the 4 drains under her arm pits. If she needed me during the night I was right there. As you all know 2 drains were taking out this Monday. So, are you ready?? The last 2 were taking out this morning with the strict stipulation that she is NOT to do anything active for awhile. When Dr Meade asked her how she was doing she replied with her awesome smile and said "GREAT, I've been doing stuff..vacuuming, cleaning the bathtubs, mopping...yaa, I feel pretty good." Of course Dr. Meade responded with the "are you crazy lady?" look. He told her that he wouldn't take out 1 of the 2 if she was going to do those kind of things. She gave him the sad eyes, yes the same one she gave me 5 days ago when I broached the subject of me moving back to MY BED! He couldn't resist either. So he made her promise she would take it easy. Di would have promised him a ride on "The Di Train" if it got that last drain out! That's right, you read it correctly "The Di Train". Not sure what it is exactly..not even sure I've been on that ride to tell ya the truth. But I digress. (Oh...sorry Terry)
We are to go back in two weeks to start the "expansion" process. Basically filling the artificial boobs up with saline until the desired size is reached. (COME ON FULL C!!)
We meet with Dr. Killbride tomorrow morning. I think we will discuss chemo and all that that entails.

I'll leave you smiling with a picture of Nephew Luke. (sorry Brent)
take care people

  3. I hope you guys enjoy the hangover - heard it's lots of laughs. So glad Di gets to get out of the house! You should only go back to the bed if she gets to go back to the bed. Seriously. Gotta go G just got my keys stuck in her freaking hair. Love the nephew pic....I have one of those too!
