back at work

a little woozy.  no worries.  i only work four hours to-day.

my right arm won't go all the way down.  bad flashback from the time before chemo, when i had the tumour under my arm.  but... it's ok.  we'll make do.

i feel lighter.

hopefully i can keep drinking water, and sleeping better.  i didn't get to bed as early as i wanted to... sleep wouldn't come.  i think i was chasing it too much....

no news yet.  i hope i won't get a call until thursday.  that's when i come in at night... i don't want to miss her call.

i gained hope by reading this: http://dslrf.org/breastcancer/content.asp?L2=3&L3=7&SID=132&CID=2019&PID=22&CATID=36

Studies have shown that the chance of missing a positive lymph node if we remove the tissue in the lower two levels of the armpit is less than 2 percent. 


surely what they took out was the last of it.  surely i'll be on "watch and wait" rather than "leap, and chemo"....

but... i won't expect anything.  expectation leads to sadness at this point.  all i can do is remain calm, and think of work... home... school... the ocean....

anything but what could happen.

one day, i'll get over this "i'll think about that to-morrow" phase....

hopefully soon....
