Well I’m happy to announce that I am not addicted to sleeping pills. Seems like such an odd statement to make because I only took 4 of the 20 my doctor prescribed me but I had this fear in the back of my mind that I wouldn’t be able to sleep without them. Last night was a successful trial run. I was surprised because Steve and I had a heavy duty conversation between 11:30pm and 1am. Remember the book I told you my mom bought me? Well I was reading it last night and when I came back from getting ready for bed Steve was reading it. No problem…I was tired…it was 9:30pm and ready to go to sleep. I heard Steve come to bed at 11:30pm. Turns out he read the entire book. Talk about information overload, but that’s how Steve works.
The squeeze box still had more than 30cc of fluid yesterday so I wasn’t able to get it taken out. Disappointing. I’m due to empty it soon so my fingers are crossed that I can get it taken out today.
I called the surgeon’s office yesterday and I have an appointment to go over the pathology reports with her on Thursday, March 2nd at 1:45pm. These are the results that we’re most anxious about. In a nutshell we should find out if the cancer went beyond the tumor and the one lymph node. We’ll also start to make arrangements to see an oncologist about chemo and radiation. I’ve learned that whenever you have a lumpectomy, they pretty much always do radiation. Radiation will come after the chemo.
Steve and Andrew are at hockey right now and Sean is watching Scooby-Doo….a typical Saturday morning at the Groves.
All for now,
me

Hey Kim - just checking in on how you're feeling. I've sent your link to many acquaintances who have asked how you are doing. This was truly a great idea. The more information you guys have, perhaps the more prepared you will be for the next step. You are both amazing people. You are all in the Claro's thoughts and prayers each and every day. Here if you need us. Take care.
Hi Kim - So glad everything ig going so well. Still some major hurdles to climb, but if anyone can do it, it would be you. I'll say it again, you are truly an inspiration to us all. I love the "blogs". I don't turn on the computer without first checking to see if you've sent one lately. Yes, even before I go on ebay!! I'm at Nana & Grampa's right now showing them how to retrieve your blogs and hopefully send a comment. Don't hold your breathe!! Love you and will "talk" to you soon.
Love, Uncle Mike
Good Morning Kim,
Just a thought as I read your morning post. Steve claims to have read the entire book but he is somewhat like his mother and tends to exaggerate a wee bit.......:)Keep Smiling.
Love,
Mark, Sandra, Emily, Brianna, Sarah
