Good Morning fellow mammals. Funny how man named an entire class of animals after boobs. I guess you're only hyper aware of boobs if you're a man or if you just lost one. They gave me a radical mastectomy--muscle, lymph nodes and all. We'll find out if there is or was any residual cancer in the breast after the biopsy in a few days and whether or not they got clear margins. I have a lovely and stylish tube sticking out of the side of my chest where I can watch blood and other fluid draining out of the tissue where my breast was. The three "fibroids" in my abdomen will be tested today via ultra sound in order to rule out a possible spread to my uterus--small chance that it is anything other than fibroids but we want to make sure.
Special thanks to my post op nurse Josette and to my room nurse, Kelly--you guys are awesome. Team Corrie was fabulous in all of its pink glory--thanks to everyone here and everywhere who wore their team corrie shirts! Also, thanks to everyone who flashed someone yesterday, your silliness is much appreciated (as I am sure the sight of your boobs were).
Hi Corrie,
ReplyDeleteGlad the surgery went well! Now do some relaxing and catch up eating! Make sure everyone waits on you hand and foot!!!!

Let yourself be spoiled, spoiled, spoiled and more spoiled! Our positive vibes and prayers continue for you to now have a speedy, easy recovery and NO mets in the uterus. Love you so much! Blanca & Bob
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking some silly tiaras would look great with those pink Team Corrie shirts -- and maybe some feather boas? Of course, that attire would be just for the guys. :) SO THANKFUL you're up to blogging this morning!
ReplyDeleteCorrie, wishing you well and hoping for a speedy recovery. Terry Casey, (Julies mom)
ReplyDeleteIt's mystery girl again wishing you a quick recovery and letting you know that I have been thinking of you and mentally surrounding you with love, joy, and peace even in the midst of this ordeal. You are an inspiration to me and I thank you for your strength. Hang in there, girl!
ReplyDeleteDid you time the surgery so you could recoup watching the World Cup? Nice Job! My advice.....ice cream, and plenty of it!!! Love ya, SIS
ReplyDeleteCorrie,
ReplyDeleteYou have such a fantastic attitude about this whole situation, it amazes and inspires me. My cousin is on her second round with breast cancer and I'd like to send her a link to your blog if you don't mind. Please know that Howie and I are thinking of you, Ted and the kids and sending good, positive thoughts your way.
We're thinking of you - I'm glad to hear you will be home soon - and eating Lots O Pasta!!
ReplyDeleteLove to all of you, CK
Corrie - In the midst of your trials you manage to uplift spirits and put things in perspective. Thank you so much for your courage and strength and for the generosity that causes you to share your blog.
