Covid shot number 4 & how do I fit in life between doctor appointments?

-

 2/13 2022

It's available and I'm eligible so off I went to target yesterday. I have a low-grade fever, some dizziness and fatigue. It's not nearly as bad as shot number 3.  I'll continue this post another time.

I don't know how people work and have cancer at the same time. This is a full-time job! This week I have my every three-month blood work for my rheumatologist with whom I have an appointment this week. 

I have an appointment to get an EKG from my primary care physician. I have an appointment for a genetic test and in between all that I am having a bridge made and four crowns this week. OMG .

I did get a manicure. My nails are white with a pink ribbon on one of them. Hopefully I will be able to play mahjong next week and we will have the two little ones Friday over night so I'm looking forward to that.

Well this has been and will continue to be quite a busy week. All the blood tests are done; I still have two doctors tomorrow. 

AND I had a dermatologist appointment, and she is sending something on my ear to pathology!

Busy weekend ahead BUT next week there is nothing on my calendar. Maybe I'll get to the gym.

Cancer: I'm Scared

2/21/2022 I don't know what triggered this feeling. I have been fine. Last night we were with the grandkids, other grandparents, the grandkids' parents and a couple of others. Maybe being in such a happy gathering did it. I am not going to speculate but I came home and cried.  I cried for my daughters and my best friend who lives on the other side of the country. I cried in fear of what I would hear from the BRCA test. I cried for what was.

After Surgery: What is it like

 3/15/2022 Although I am on pain meds and a little loopy, I wanted to get my surgery day down before I forget. I don't know if this is the protocol of all breast surgeries, but I saw a lot of people!  At 7:45 I was taken into the pre-op area where I was asked my name and birthdate a dozen times. So many times, that when a woman walked in, I just said my name and birthdate. She laughed and said that she knew my name but not my birthdate. "I'm Dr. Baker." Well of course I didn't recognize her. I only met her one time, and she had a net on her head and a mask and plastic covering her face. She had on scrubs so there was no white coat. In any case I was asked by lots of nurses health questions, got an IV put in with at some point saline and an antibiotic and off I went to Nuclear Medicine and saw a machine that looked like it was from outer space. I wondered if this is also the radiation machine but I didn't ask. Mitch, an RN, spent a long time explaining what wou
