I hope everybody had a good weekend!!
It has been a roller coaster week for us! After coming out of surgery and moving the right direction in recovery, I hit a wall and went backwards. I was EXHAUSTED - like I had been through a round of chemo. I slept almost 24 hours straight, my head hurt and was so foggy, my body was worn out, and I also felt extremely sad. Not a typical surgery recovery for me.
The only thing that had changed was that I started taking Arimidex last week (which is a med that reduces the risk of recurrence of breast cancer). The oncologist prescribed it in late March, but with everything going on with my eye, I decided to give myself a rest and wait to start taking it until I was recovering from this last surgery.
I haven't taken the medicine since Saturday night, and I am feeling better - well enough that we had everybody over for a cookout tonight. It was so fun having all of us together! I'm sad that we didn't get a picture taken - we'll have to do that next time!! smile emoticon
I'm going to let the oncologist know that this isn't going to work for me - there are other options so we can look at a different med.
Thank you for praying for us!!
Lord, you have examined me and you know me. You know everything I do; from far away you understand all my thoughts. You see me, whether I am working or resting; you know all my actions. Even before I speak, you already know what I will say. You are all around me on every side; you protect me with your power. (Psalm 139:1-5 GNTD)
