About My Boobs...
GOT YOUR ATTENTION DIDN'T I?? HA!
Well I had my first mammogram today. Boy, was that fun! What an interesting experience. I must say it didn't hurt like I expected it to but having a little gal pulling, pushing, tugging etc... on my boobs was very odd. The good news is the mammogram was clear. I was then sent to have an ultrasound. Then to the surgeon. He was really really nice. I would recommend him for anyone who needs, well,... surgery of some kind. He removed the lump and I now have stitches in my boob. (That's going to go on my list of things I never thought I would ever say). I go back in two weeks to have the stitches removed and find out the results of the biopsy. He sounded very positive about it not being cancer.
The surgeon had a med student with him and she was from UND (where my sister's body went). I told her about my sister Candice and I told her how different it is because we're not going through the visitation, funeral, burying our loved one process. She told me that UND has a ceremony every two years for the families whose loved ones donated their bodies to the college. She said that it is very neat because the med students attend and the families get to find out how much their loved one helped further education. I will have to find out when that ceremony is because I really want to attend.
Other than that we all have bad colds here. It is really beautiful out today though. My chest is all numb so I am doing good. I will find out soon if this is going to hurt...
My kids are having a hard time with losing their auntie. TJ asks repeatedly, daily, hourly sometimes, if Candice is at Walmart, "Tacos Bells", The doctor, or coming to visit. Matthew has decided that she is at the doctor in heaven and near as I can figure he is pretty sure she will be back for Christmas. I asked him if he understands what dying means, and his reply was, "It means that no one will ever be happy again." So tips for how to deal with children losing a close loved one are needed if you have any!
I have gained weight. Isn't that lovely? I am at such a bad place with myself right now. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Well, enough for today. God bless you all.
