Can’t say I got a lot of sleep last night. Not because of any pain, just because my brain was in overdrive again. I was thinking that it would be great to have a party at the end of the summer when all of this is done. So then I got to thinking about tent rentals for the backyard in case it rained, caterers etc. Crazy, I know.
Steve’s been keeping me in check with the meds and helping with emptying the squeeze box. The VON came to the house today and with any luck I can get the drain out by the weekend. The boys still haven’t noticed yet which is great. The VON is scheduled to come for 6 visits between now and March 6th. Things seem to be healing well.
My mom bought me a book called “Cancer is a word, not a sentence.” by Dr. Robert Buckman. It’s kind of like “Cancer for Dummies”. It has been a good resource for me. Hopefully you or someone close to you will never have to go through this but if you do, I highly recommend the book.
The week’s events have caught up with Steve and myself and I think we’re about to call it a night. Thank you again for all your e-mails…they keep me going. I wish I could respond to everyone one of them but I can’t seem to find enough hours in the day right now. Know that I have read them and I greatly appreciate them.
Good night,
me

Hi Kim
Glad to hear you're feeling well after your surgery.
If you ever want to speak to someone who has been there...I have the e-mail address and phone number of the lady I used to work with. She would be more than happy to talk to you.
You can get my e-mail address from your Aunt Sharon and I will forward it to you, if you want.
Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.
Dear Kim & Steve
Your courage continually inspires all your family here in England. Auntie Pat has your Christmas photo in her dining room. We see it every day and send love to you.
We would love to be there to give you a great big (gentle!) hug but hopefully you can feel it from us across the miles.
Lots of love
Val, Alan & Families xx
Hi Kim - I am happy to hear that your surgery went well, and that you're home. You have been in my thoughts often. I am continually in awe of you. Your courage is inspiring, and I admire your strength. I am not surprised though - you are definitely one of the special people. I am blessed to know you.
Please take care of you. I know Steve has that well in hand, but please do know that we're here for you.
Be well my friend,
Jenn in CT
