I made a post here more recently.... dangit.
I'm feeling better every day as it should be, funny how everyone predicts that you get better and by golly! You do!
I had a mountain of a salad today, some chips and salsa and two pears. Yep, appetite is back and was careful about what I bought at the store too. Lots of veggies, frozen waffles, cereal, some milk, margarine, cookies, yes cookies... we're getting low on our Thin Mints. I also had one cherry Coke. Hence why I will likely be up later than usual tonight working on jewelry. I had structure failure on an armband and have to restring it all, but it's a good thing it did it while I was testing it out instead of when a customer wore it! I made the mistake of using linen thread I pulled through beeswax. Still didn't make it strong enough, going to have to use either the nylon or polyester cotton button thread.
Man have I got a bruise in my belly button! I took a shower today and that stupid betadine or whatever the orange stuff is they slop on just won't come off. All that's left on the small incisions are two steri-strips over the scabs. I'm able to yawn now, and I think I've sneezed once without hurting myself too bad. At this rate I'll be good to get back to work by next weekend.
I have my first appointment with the oncologist on Tuesday, get paid from the fabric store tomorrow and have yet to do my taxes. I did a preliminary at one site and I get around $460 back from the feds which will help pay off a previous tax years return. I want to try another site and see if their number is different.
I'm getting back into sewing also. I have some dark blue taffeta I'm making into a long full skirt for a kind of Victorian outfit for the convention at the end of the month. Really looking forward to that and just hope that any treatment that I might get started doesn't make me too ill to attend.
My back muscles are complaining from trying to compensate for holding my stomach. I haven't gone down for a nap at all today and that's better than yesterday when I had maybe a twenty minute nap. So things are on the mend and then I have to start treatment, which may well lay me flat again.
Suck suck suck!

I know, I know....

Well unless the only word that comes to mind is shit and you're writing from the perspective of a proper English lady.
