We are here: 8 long days

 7/3

My poor doggies have been so nervous but finally we stopped in a beautiful area. Not exactly a campground but we have full service, and it is 15 minutes away from Terri and Jeff. 

It sems we have a couple of small leaks so Elliott will have to get up on the roof. But it is comfortable here all in all. We will be living in Willie for three months. My latest plan is to live in CA (I do love the weather.) and every three months come to New York for two weeks or so to see the girls. Things seem ok with them, and the next chapter of their lives is beginning. 

We've spoken to the little ones a couple of times via Karen and that is working out. Elliott is picking up groceries this morning and then off to Terri and Jeff's (no pool for me) to hang and have dinner. 

I have started exemestane and so far, no debilitating side effects.

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
