YIIPPEEEEEE!!!!!!



Wow, today was a great day! After another rough night of restless sleep, I headed to the doctor's office. Aprehensively, I met with my wonderful nurse, Sherrie, who took those dreaded drains right out of me! Yes, it was a little painful as she unraveled 36inches of tubing out of my body (both sides), but in minutes I was hollarin that they were no more and quickly forgot about any pain! I fully understand the necessity to my healing, however, sleeping as been an obstacle course with those drains. I will see my doctor for a review of the pathology results and treatment plan.

In addition to my drain relief, I shopped for my first set of fake boobies! Choices, choices, choices.... To be a C or a double D.... That was the question!~ And.... Janet (The wonderful prosthetic lady) sewed breasts into two swimsuits for me to comfortably sunbathe at Lake Easton this coming week.... Who would've thought!

Heidi came for a visit with Sunshine bear and Jean brought a nice meal for us! She said, It's time I start eating "The Super Foods." (Quinioa, steak, sweet and sour chicken, wonderful salad and a brownie!) My aunt Judy sent batter bread and freezer jam with Mom. Susan sent lots of ginger snap cookies in the shape of breast cancer ribbons to settle my tummy, and lots of other BC stuff. Yum! Thank you girls!

Following a nice lunch out, two of my nurses, Tami and Brittany, chaperoned a field trip to the Mariner's game to visit all of my Safeco Field friends! So refreshing to see you all! (Would've been nice to get the win too.) Again, I was reminded of how blessed I am to have such wonderful, supportive friends cheering me on.

Finished the evening off with the best homemade cinnamon roll(With extra butter) ever! Thank you my Tamara!

  2. Awesome honey!!! I'm so happy for you in all areas of your day. I just hope your night continued on such a peaceful note. Your "lil Bro" managed to join site but can't seem to master posting - lol. Told me to tell you that camping is an iffy idea - dirt, mosquitos, bee stings, campfire smoke, etc, etc. As if he'd follow any of your advice!!! Take care of yourself (as if you have a choice with all your wonderful "sisters") on this trip. Know we love and support you every second of every day. HUGS to all..... Shar

  12. Hi Teri...this is Stephen, one of your folks' cribbage buddies (the photographer)...been following your story through your mom and keep telling myself to read your blog...which I FINALLY got around to doing this morning. I cannot express enough my joy in hearing how well you're doing through this crisis. Your stamina, humor and dedication to share all aspects of this turmoil and successes in this period of your life is truly an inspiration to ALL who may be going through a medical trauma in their lives, including yours truly.

    Keep up the great attitude and perseverence....I look forward to seeing you in the future and challenging you to a game of cribbage...okay? Take care....and God Bless You.....Stephen Harter
