For anyone that doesn't know, I've spent the last three days in the hospital. As a patient as opposed to as a nurse. I was at work Thursday and I've been having an issue for about a week with shortness of breath--I thought I was *really* getting out of shape. But that night I was huffing and puffing after walking down the hall and I was next to ( Read more... )

We've been homeless for 2 weeks now. I'm waaaaay over this as is the rest of the family. Today I get the keys to the house and tomorrow our household goods get delivered. This is job is going to be ... interesting.

The packers/movers spent all day yesterday and did probably 2/3 of the house. Those guys *work*. I'm enjoying the quiet of sitting here with the cats. They are traumatized, they have on harnesses with rabies & lost tags that make funny noises. They keep trying to back out of them or lick them off, neither works well. Until the 12th and ( Read more... )

Ok this is driving me nuts. Now the job is changing my start date and saying that they don't have all the approvals. Excuse me? Was this a job offer or not? What about all that paperwork I signed? And the upheaval in my life? Do you have *any* clue of what you doing? *sigh*

It's official. I have a job. We are going to go live on the Navajo rez in New Mexico. They are paying me very well to go live in the middle of nowhere. But we *like* the middle of nowhere, so it's a fit. I start on May 26th.

It was a long 2 days to drive there and back, about 500 miles each way. I'm tired.

I have a job offer!! In writing. We are traveling to the site for the next couple of days. Stay tuned.

After all was said and done, I ended up with a radiation burn. Picture an second degree sunburn in your armpit. Not fun but it's healed now. I went to the surgeon yesterday and everything is good--mammogram in 3 months on the cut boob ( Read more... )

This is the last planned update. I have finished radiation and it wasn't too bad except that I have a radiation burn in my right armpit. The radiation oncologist and the therapists all tell me it isn't bad and that I did very well. I pity the folks that have a bad one--this is annoying enough. Picture a bad but not blistered sunburn in your ( Read more... )

It occurs to me I haven't updated for awhile. I had my 19th treatment today, so I have 14 left to go. My skin is doing OK, the right breast is very definitely a darker color than the lily white left one but has so far been recovering on the weekends and doing well with being smeared with Aquaphor twice a day. My energy level is better but ( Read more... )

2 down 28 to go. The prep has been a pain, literally. My back has been spasming off and on due to an hour or more on a damn hard xray table. But the actual treatment is about 10-15 minutes and is just a question of lying still. I got home today and my eyes felt like I'm been out in the sun and my boob feels sunburn type sensitive. I'm using ( Read more... )
