Day 2

Went to bed late last night, hoping to sleep and was able to get a good 5 or 6 hours of rest before the puppy woke me up. Good deal. The first thing I did was went online to check to see if I'd received any messages from a new friend, a cancer survivor, who has kindly volunteered to be a "go to" person for support. I had sent her a message in which I asked her how much weight I should give to the radiologist's conclusions. She said that radiologists are not allowed to give diagnoses, but that they've seen so much, and know so much, that I should prepare for the worst. So, that's what I am going to do.

Because it appears that the word is out, I've been trying to contact my closest people to make sure that they hear it from me, and not second hand. So far, I've talked to my mom and my brother Doug; haven't been able to reach Mike, yet. I sent emails to my step-son, Alice, my best friends, and most of David's siblings. I've also contacted a few friends through facebook.

Aside from the headache, I'm feeling okay today, I guess. There's some discomfort from the steri-strips that they used to close up the hole (holes?) from the biopsies, but that's to be expected. There's also some bruising, again to be expected. I really need to get a new bra. I have one, and the danged puppy decided it would make a good chew toy so...one strap is being held together by a wish and a prayer, the other is in-expertly sewn by me, and there's a hole in one side. Yay. Ben just left for church, and I've decided that I'm going to go with my mom down at the Vet's Home at 10:00. I'm trying to think of "normal" things that need doing today...taking care of the animals, going to the grocery store etc. I really need to finish cleaning out my cupboards, too. I'm also sure that I'll sleep...just because I still have 2 days to wait until I hear anything for sure. I'm an American, dang it! I want instant gratification :-)
