Yesterday I finally started feeling better- I think the swelling must be going down some under my arm. I didn't have to change my bra 6 times to find one that I could stand being in. Really, if I could just lounge around the house all day I would just go without- but it is so obvious that I have one up high and one down low- it annoys me every time I look in the mirror. Even in the bras that I can stand to wear- I am not even by any stretch. Stupidly, I bought a couple of new shirts the other day- one had vertical stripes. Yea- that was a bad idea! I will wear it next year, I suppose.
Today I had some bloodwork (again- SO glad I have a port now! The only downside to it that I having it that I can see is that they have to flush it with heparin every time they use it. I can taste the heparin as soon as it hits my blood- ick!) Now, I get to go have my teeth cleaned, and at my appointment yesterday he decided I either needed a filling and crown or a root canal and crown. Of course I do- I never need something 'small' or 'cheap'. I did find out that MY dentist has stage 4 lymphoma. The dentist who I had yesterday is her husband. He said that it was everywhere :( Poor Dr. Holly. It honestly makes me feel almost lucky that I have stage 2 breast cancer. I was hoping that maybe she went to the same cancer center as I do, so that maybe we would see each other at chemo or something but she goes to a different place than I do.
I am in a bit of a panic right now because I have not ordered wigs. I found one that I love but heard that it may not be what I am looking for. I NEED to go to the wig shop and see some color swatches and try some other ones one to make sure, before I order. Thing is- I don't have the flipping time to go out there and play with wigs. Maybe tomorrow after my bone scan- if that doesn't take too long. Yes, many people have told me- just go bald! Well, I will tell you this: I would LOVE to be that person that is comfortable going around with a big bald head. I just don't know that I will actually be that person- so just in case I am not- I need to hurry the hell up and get my wig ready, ya know!?
Had to edit this post to say that I just got back from my cleaning and my dentist happened to be there for a minute- I caught a glimpse of her and she looked amazing- not sickly at all and she was totally rocking the bald head look- she looked awesome! That is exactly what I needed today :)
