This is partly just a visual record of my recovery after Mohs surgery to remove a BCC on the side of my nose. I found it really helpful to read a similar blog by Indie15 on this site, though her surgery was on the bridge of her nose.
After not being terribly well-prepared for the surgery beforehand (they don't know what they're going to do until the day), it's been a bit of a steep learning curve.
The worst point came a week after the surgery, when I revisited the hospital, I thought...
Have not blogged for a couple of days. Things are betier than I expected.
I was active yesterday and went shopping with my husband. I watched carefully for people around me, keeping a distance. Did not touch things like friuits, vegetables, meats. Went down several aisles, showing my husband where to find certain items should I run out accidentally of meds, etc.
Tired and weak, but it was good therapy.
I must get something to prop myself up a bit in bed at night. I wake up...
My husband Darren was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer whilst working abroad. We now have most of our appointments through, another colonoscopy, cat scan and an added MRI of his liver. after this is all done we will see the consultants.
Darren's Gastro/cancer specialist rang last night to see how he was coping with his symptoms and talking through his upcoming tests. it was nice to hear from his consultant, however it all makes it so real now, we sort of been living in a bubble, trying to...
It is exactly one month since I lost 80% of my stomach. I've had little blips along the way with eating but usually because I over indulged!
Had my post-op follow up appointment with the surgeon today and he says that I am healing well. He asked about exercise and I told him that I tried to walk a little each day. He suggested cycling, although it's not the weather for it. I never thought that stomach removal would improve my cycling proficiency. Lol.
Anyway, the pathology report showed...
Well, I have lived most of my life expecting a miracle a day. Today is no different.
Must be 19 meds to manage, fitting into time schedules related to meals.
Without so many tough things already in life, how would one do this?
The British Baking Show and Animal Planet, along with Ancestry has entertained me until I can do breakfast, 4 hours past normal.
But, I am fine. Thankful God gave man the ability to figure out so much. A Miracle plus just in that.
Thankfully, the nausea eased off today. Only one more day on the constant anti-nausea meds, then the schedule slows down.
I had focused so much of my life on family, community volunteer, and career--which all flows into one--that I am enjoying watching tv. I like history, which is something I had been too busy making to have time to learn, it seemed.
So, Strange Inheritance, History Channel, Ancestry.com are favorites.
My thoughts are that variety keeps me moving. I would like to go to Jupiter...
I’m going to Jacksonville.
There is a sniper I need to see.
His eyes are keen. His hand is steady. He deals with his target decisively.
He will review the strategies of the battle fought thus far.
He will examine the remains of The Monster’s first offense.
The first tumor.
He will peer into The Monster’s new nest.
He will evaluate the trench that has been created and that harbors the blasted cell mutation.
He will consider a coup de main.
The shot needs to be clear if the The...
Hi, I have joined the group related to my specific cancer, but any lymphoma patient is invited to join, as long as you realize what this group is not seeking. Advice, sharing on T-cell, follicular, etc., will not be shared in my blog, A Miracle Journey. I have had and believe in miracles, with God as the all knowing Father.
