It has been 3 weeks since my surgery. Things have been very interesting the past couple of days. I went to church Sunday. I had quite a bit of anxiety about going. Me being loopsided started to get to me for the first time. And with me being the "First Lady" I knew people would be looking at me. The only person who saw my tears was my husband. He did his best to talk me down and convinced me not to wear this huge sweater I wanted to wear(I probably would have lost 10lb in sweat if I wore it lol). When we got to the church I went straight to my office. I had to sit in there a bit before joining everyone else for service. Everybody was so nice and loving. They did everything they could to make sure I was comfortable as possible. I'm glad I went. I love Faith Church Baltimore. I did discover that you use some of your chest muscles when you clap.. so clapping during praise and worship was a little tough. After service, my hubby fed me some fried fish (another one of my cravings) and I slept the rest of the day.
I guess this is where the fibromyalgia really kicks in. I slept most of Monday. Good news is I was able to get my drainage tube removed on Tuesday. The Dr. said I am healing well and they will start filling my expander in 2 weeks. I had another anxiety moment right before my appointment. I just started getting frustrated with not being able to be independent like I was before cancer. I know in time I will be, it still gets to me. I finally got use to dealing with the fibromyalgia and now cancer. I still don't know what my treatment will be for sure. I guess God is having me repeat the lesson on patience. Waiting for my body to heal, waiting for the test results, waiting for my new breast.... yeah. I'm repeating this lesson. So now I'm sore from where the tube was removed and I have to have my right "breast" compressed at all times so fluid doesn't build up before they start to fill the expander(this is uncomfortable). I still have to take it easy. Honestly... I'm tired of taking it easy...lol I have been resting and sleeping for 3 weeks now. Guess I have to be patient.
