Too much info!!!



I needed a laugh!!!


The last few days were pretty rough. My surgeon said this last surgery would take longer to recover from. And of course I didn't believe her. Guess what? She was right! One of these days I will learn to listen.
Well today I actually feel like I can be counted among the living! Woo Hoo!!! I can move without pain!!! Not that I am ready to run a marathon (I will leave that to Kale).
The last few days being laid up, there really was not too much to do, and I am not into daytime TV. So I spent most of my time doing more research on Melanoma, Interferon, Kidney Stents, procedures, physical and emotional side effects, survival and remembrance stories........argh!!!! Too much information, sometimes I think it might be better to go into the whole experience without any knowledge of what is coming or what I might expect.
So today I think I will stay off line after I am done with my post.
Today I have a followup appointment with the Surgeon. I guess it is just a checkup.

On a happier note, I need to share with you how wonderful my neighbors and co-workers (friends)have been. All their words of encouragement, calls and support. I know I will say this a million times over, but without you guys I think this would be a pretty miserable thing to go through. So thanks!

Hi Lynette:

I hope that you are feeling better today. I know it is not that easy to recover from surgery...but one day at a time. I am glad that you have a lot of support. Your reaction to Interferon might not be so bad; everyone is different. So far so good for me, I am still able to get out and about and do mostly everything. So hang in there, concentrate on getting as healthy as you can before the treatment and keep up your strength. It will make a big difference going into treatment.

Take care,
Chris
