Long day

Well this was a fun day.

It started with me dropping the girls at my parents and then driving up to Barnes West to get my mammogram and ultrasound films from last week. At which point I realized I didn't have my license or insurance card sooooo I had to drive all the way back home(141 and 44 area) and get that and I was on empty too. So I filled up and then had to drive out to Boone's Crossing(40 at the Missouri river) for an MRI. Which was ever so fun. Actually it was not that bad except for the noise, it was really loud. Then back to the BCI(breast cancer institute) for pre-surgery stuff, like drawing blood and getting a chest xray and an ekg. That wasn't so bad....just time consuming.

Oh and I pre-emptively chopped my hair! Which I am donating to locks of love. That had been the plan to do this fall/winter with the girls when their hair got long enough but I just consider it a bit of a schedule change. And I must admit, it is quite freeing and my head is waaaaaaaaaaaay less heavy now:) And of course it has made my mom happy, she has always liked me with a swingy bob:)

Anyway, I talk to the plastic surgeon on June 9th and then the surgery is scheduled for the 19th and then chemo a couple weeks after that. So it will be a long June but it should be filled up too.

However it does mean that I won't get to run the Komen Race for the Cure, which is rather ironic if you think about it all:) So if anyone feels like doing it in my place, please do, PLEASE, but not for me,for every woman out there who has had to go through and those who still will until there is a cure.

Blog ya later-
