Oh Yeah! I have a blog! and Late November Pondering

 My friend Jody sent me a text telling me that my "blog has been so boring. I'm assuming that's great news and you are well."  It's true!  I am well!  I also closed my blog tab on my computer and apparently it's out of sight out of mind! Let's see... since October 10 I:  attended the Boy Scout Turkey Feed, had some fun eating and crafting with "The Aunties," enjoyed the apple orchard, rowed a bunch, spent a weekend shopping in Minneapolis, attended my first NBA game, went to Jason's uncle's funeral, did Halloween activities, drummed, voted (screamed at the country for how they voted), had some therapy, went to the new Top Golf, attended Nolan's choir concert, enjoyed 3 days of Orff in Des Moines, Exile snow globe, dyed my hair pink, had Thanksgiving with my parents and attended a couple movies. Truly, I am well.  Since my last post on October 10 I have thrown myself into life as usual WITH extra surgery preparations.  My hysterectomy ...

HAPPY FREAKING NEW YEAR!!!

I feel like I can finally ring in a NEW year and breathe a little easier...at least for the next 6 months!  Today I had my 6 month follow up mammogram and appointment with Dr. Torstensen.  This appointment has been on my radar for a long time- scanxiety is no joke.  We woke up to a snow squall warning-I HATE winter driving- so that added to my morning concern.  I was only almost hit once.  Check in was fast and before long I was back in gowned waiting.  The new gowns were a horrible camel color that looks good on no one (surely ordered by a man). Today my mammogram technician told me that mammograms after surgery are more painful and I can confirm, she is correct.  She took about 453 images on both breasts, which is good I guess. Then I waited for the radiologist to look things over....while I waited I thought to myself- if something comes back at least I know what to expect, I'm a pro.  And then the tech came back and told me they wanted to do an...

I'm BACK!

 I am EXCITED to go to work tomorrow!  When is the last time I've said that!?!  I do love my job, I can't imagine doing anything else, BUT I can't remember the last time I was actually EXCITED about going!  (I REALLY like not working.) Dr. Massey gave the okay to return to normal activity. This morning I rowed for about 15 minutes, and this afternoon I visited the chiropractor. So, where is the giddiness coming from?  I think maybe I'm feeling like all of this is finally over!  Yes, I will have follow-up appointments for the rest of my life, but I think I'm feeling like I'm FINALLY officially on the other side! I'm feeling good, last Friday was a crummy day, and it freaked me out.  I've given myself some pep talks- I DO have sick days I can use if I need to.  I HAVE gone to school feeling less than perfect.   Now, as I said, I LOVE NOT WORKING!  I'm not someone who ever gets bored, and I found plenty to do while recovering. I read 9...
