We are in the home stretch now! No more party to the table and I think giving my liver the next week off will be a good idea.
This week will be all about wrapping up loose ends and preparing things for the family as much as possible before Monday. I did some yard work today…pruning things that I don’t like Frank to do. He is missing some of the “finesse” that is needed. Then finished cleaning the guest room for my sister-in-law. I have to say, it is nice to have that room available again. It has been a storage room for us and a real mess for the last few years.
The girls and I also gave the dog a bath which was much-needed! Then we just laid around. I really wanted to take a nap but they took turns laying with me, being tickled and just spending time. How could I tell them no when we will not be able to do this again for weeks or months even?
Tomorrow marks the 7 day mark….one week until surgery. Wow!
Decisions for my Family 
I’m inspired by your positive attitude. I will be having a double mastectomy on July 10. I’m kind of nervous and a lot of people don’t understand why I am doing this. It’s nice to read about other people that have made the same decision I have. Good luck on your surgery and I’ll continue to follow you as I heal from my own surgery.
If you have made the decision to have this surgery I can only assume you are high risk. The people who do not understand your decision also probably do not worry daily about developing breast cancer. We all make our decisions for our own reasons and personally I do not feel the need to explain mine to anyone. I know that if I do not take this proactive step I will develop cancer….so I can wait which seems ridiculous or take control and act. Good for you for taking control! Good luck with your surgery and thanks for stopping in!
