Tired Girl

Hello everyone! Well today is April 27th...I celebrated my one year "re-birth" day on the 23rd!

How was my day on the 23rd? I had to go for my annual breast check! UGH..that means MRI--Mammo..etc.

I went on the 22nd to get some blood, and they put and IV port in my arm so I wouldn't have to be stuck more than once! Laura the Chemo nurse is soooo sweet she poked me once..and it didn't hurt, that is how I knew she didn't get my vein. Then I told her.."Hey how about here?" Right in the crook of my arm..the best vein that I have! Well it's a bit torn and tattered, but she got it the first try!

So gave blood came home with the port in my arm..

Then woke up in the morning and got out of the house by Noon. Amanda took me, and Ray did too, because it was Take your kid to work day, and she didn't want to go to school. So I was happy to have support with me when I had my tests.

We pull up to Nevada Cancer Institute, and WOW..they are dropping me off and going to lunch with Grama??? Did I hear you right??

Okie Dokie!!

Well I went upstairs first to see if they needed to flush the port..nope..then downstairs for my Mammo.

Ok so I get there and they say Bi-Lateral Mammo.... HUH??? WHY?? I only have one boobie with breast tissue?? So I go round and round with the girl, who honestly I don't think knows what a Mastectomy is? Finally a woman comes out from the back, and I explain her my situation...and she finally says oh...you have an implant from a mastectomy...got it! No bi-lateral Mammo!! I was meanwhile texting my doc who was upstairs at the time...asking him if he ordered my meds for the MRI.

Well done with the Mammo and onto the MRI I go and see Bill he is he MRI guy there..the only MRI guy.

I ask him if the Adivan is on its way..he says yep! Then 20 min later...while reading the people magazine cover to cover..I ask him again...he says Yep! Well it took about 45 min to get the medicine down to me!

Then I climb on the table..feeling good at this time..get slid into the tube..and promptly start dreaming...they pull me out, and flip me over like a flapjack, and breasts in the coils and then I hear my Doc..he's standing at the door checking to see if I'm ok? Yep..in dreamland..he wants to see me after the test. He couldn't get a hold of me because my Cellphone said it was disconnected, because it's a stupid cell phone!

Saw him quick in the office, he will let me know the results of the MRI and Mammo next week..he though I was "cute" on Ativan! LOL

I don't remember much of the day after that. I came home with my jeans and shoes on and climbed into bed...I was out until about 9:30 or so. I could hear faint screams of children in the pool, and Rob laughing! Wow..nice to see that everyone is having fun!! They should all be surrounding my bed, waiting on me hand and foot, what is wrong with these people!!!!

So..talked to my doctor again today...nothing yet.

Onward!!
