Wow, just realized I haven't posted since Friday! I guess that means things are kinda quiet here in terms of health concerns. That's a good thing. Except for my diet, I'm not really thinking about cancer a lot these days. However, things will heat up again I'm sure after next weeks appointment with Dr. Stram. I've been reading up on nipple reconstruction, and wondering is making a nipple from my existing nipple will affect the sensation in that nipple. If that's the case, I'll opt for creating it from something else. If you go onto message boards - you'll find all kinds of comments about all kinds of different reconstructions, and in the end, it seems to be just confusing. Guess I'll just have to ask my doctor.
Still haven't heard back from my surgeon with any comments about my not doing chemo. Not that I expected any positive ones LOL!!! I did sign up for flex pay at work - that will help with alternative medical costs. Though the limit is $2,500, and I'm sure I'll surpass that this year.
Oh, the good news is that I sold several paintings at the gallery this past weekend. 2 big ones, and several minis...so that will go a long way toward some medical bills! Yeay!! I have decided to do a studio open house the second week in December to see if can sell some of my older pieces. I have no idea if 6 people will show up or 60 - but it will be incentive to get my house clean, and hopefully will get rid of some paintings. I'll sell the older ones at a really good price, so for someone who is interested in paintings, it could be a good deal. Watch for more info on this.
Now to figure out what I have to do for Thanksgiving. I have SO much to be thankful for this year. Aside from a successful surgery, I'm going to have another grandchild born in March. I'm so grateful for the huge support group I've had through this whole ordeal. I truly feel blessed. Thank you all for reminding me what wonderful friends I have.
