I am in the recovery mode, meaning I am still healing from the surgery and still on a semi restricted diet. I am often left with watching tv at odd hours, which have been filled with the Olympics. After five years, I am still watching the Popeye chicken lady and updated and more slickly produced Hollywood Suit ads.
I have been blessed to be the recipient of many prayers and support during this experience. The most memorable visit was from my 91 year old aunt who came to visit me in the hospital. She walks in with her walker, looks at me and asks what is wrong with me. That was a highlight of my stay.
Chemo starts next week. I have no idea what to expect since everyone reacts differently to the meds. And we all know how I do in normal circumstances. A port is being inserted on Monday, Chemo 101 class (my title) on Tues. and then round 1 starts Weds. I did see the surgeon today and he has confirmed that I am doing well in the healing process. My diet is unrestricted (but not according to Gayle). I did have my first Peets coffee this morning in two months and still feel the caffeine affect. Im sure I will be up late tonight watching chicken and suits commercials, planning to fill my craving check list this weekend and yes, Popeyes is not on the list.
