After August 20th!

Well it's August 22nd and I am doing pretty well.  There is still some minor funky swelling.  My left knee is better and the right knee is improving, but I have some new swelling in my right hand.  Just a reminder to mind my P&Q's and get consistent rest.  I am getting to work everyday and come home tired - but not as tired as even a month ago.  Dr. McKee is in my head telling me how much better it gets over time...
My mind at times still has those weird chemo brain moments especially when tired or overdoing it.  I gave Bill (and me) a good start this weekend when I took a misstep.  Doing a few chores I took a dive in the garage while going in and out of the house.  Couldn't remember from one minute to the next to watch my step???  Seriously frustrating, but just a skinned knee.  Nothing a quick shower, bacitracin, and some gauze from my inventory couldn't take care of. 
Thank you all again for all the well wishes, the checking in, the cards, emails, calls, hugs, kisses, prayers and great vibes.

Checking In After Checkups

I had multiple appointments this week.  Drs Howe, Turer and Mckee.  Sometimes I can't believe it all still.  I've felt mentally challenged lately and they are all good spirit builders.  Dr Howe checked me out for why my knees are building fluid - labs are clean and xray is good - just patience and ibuprophen.  Dr Turer checked me out to remind me why my lady parts aren't happy and what can be done about it.  Dr Mckee gave me my two year check up post original mastectomy - laughs, computer/smart phone talk with Bill and thumbs up and hug for me.  The date I want to celebrate as cancer removal day is actually August 20th.  All in all each day is a celebration.
