Strength

Now there are many kinds of strength as we all know, physical, inner, mental as well as others.
I like to think I have great inner strength, that I have grown in it as I have made my way through life's various trials and tribulations. I also like to think that I have a good deal of physical strength in my way of dealing with pain in particular. Those of you who know me well, know I have had my share of injuries that frankly confound the mind in my ability to have done them to myself! However, having survived those and also having given birth to my two beautiful mini-mes sans medication, I know I can tolerate quite a bit. So...let me just say, this biopsy totally hurt-ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow,ow and oh yes, OW!

Apparently I was still under the influence of some of the anesthesia on Thurs. when I last posted , because yesterday it hit me like a ton of bricks. My right arm and muscles there are fine, however, as we all know, they are connected to so many other parts and those are not so good. Basically my armpit is, well, a big owie. In her "lymph node diving" expedition, my wonderful Dr. did not actually cut any muscles but she had to probe and "fish" quite a bit to get to the nodes she wanted and my body did not like that very much.

And so here I sit, or lay, depending on what I can tolerate and pump myself full of drugs, of which I wish I had stronger ones! So much for inner strength on that end. It is getting better slowly, but I know it will be fine eventually and I can handle that, just wish I could brush my teeth normally again, it's interesting what you find bothers you most when you get hurt:)

Ok back to the couch to recline and ice.
