Freedom till March

I was so happy to hear Dr. Saba say today"See you in March". That may not seem so far away to most people, but the idea that I am sort of "free from worry" till March is amazing to me. He was really pleased about the outcome of my surgery and that the chemo evidently worked. In March, I will have CT scans on my lungs again and sometime around then Doc O will order a scan on my leg. In the meantime, all I have to do is heal and have a normal life! He heard a little fluid around my lower right lung but since I have no fever he was not concerned. I think it does mean I need to be moving more, so I was up and moving around most of the day today. I am headed to Publix (by myself) tomorrow if I can, but can only buy really light things since I can't lift much. So I will do a little "light" shopping and go for short walks in the neighborhood. I may even get my nails done!

I am still hurting a good bit but got a new batch of pain meds today. Susan took me out running errands with her today for a while this afternoon and that was a good way to get me moving. By 5:30 this afternoon I was beat.

I am trying to do a little holiday shopping via the internet. We cannot take much over to England as we have a comuter flight with weight restrictions from London down to Cornwall where Bob's mother lives. That makes it really hard to bring gifts so we will shop once we get there. And that really is a shame since prices are much better here and the value of the dollar to the British pound is just awful.

Other than that I am just trying to heal and get better. Hopefully that will not take much longer, and I can get back to work soon. I have not had the ability to concentrate and read all this time, and I am really missing that. I have a long list of books so I am going to try to get started on that and see how I do. I have no other doctors appmts till Dec 19 so there should really be no news till then. I do promise to keep blogging every few days to keep you up to date my progress. I hope it does not get too boring for you to read -- actually, I hope it is the most boring thing you ever read. Boring is good!
