I Did a "doh doh"

Yep...I drove Chelsea to school this morning. Not only that, but I drove on Monday, too (just uptown to the bank drive through and then home again). Maybe I'm pushing it, maybe not. I think that as long as I don't take a pain pill before hand, I should be okay...even if driving makes my arms and chest hurt, and getting in and out of the car is a chore in itself. mmm Okay...having just typed that, I do believe that driving is not a good idea right now.

This morning, I finished loading the dishwasher and got it started. Yay! The kids, to be honest, have been slacking a bit in their responsibilities ever since I started looking more "normal." Loading the washer wasn't so bad, but we have a really big box of Cascade that is rather awkward to manipulate, and weighs more than I should probably be lifting right now. Okay, I'm really not supposed to be lifting much of anything, per Doctor's orders "no lifting with arm of affected side." Yup...I have two sides involved, which equals two arms...I wonder if I can lift with my toes and feet?

In other news, I was really sick the night before last, and yesterday with a fever of 102. Whatever I had, David caught, too...high fever etc. so he slept pretty much all of yesterday, poor guy. Oh...and I found out something interesting this morning, after I did a little research on the internet. The 2nd type of cancer that was found in my left breast...the tubular carcinoma? It's very rare, accounting for only 2% of all breast cancers, and it's often found in conjunction with another and more common type. The more you learn, the less you have to fear, right? I remember when my mom was dx'd with MS, and I was really, really upset. The first thing I did was to learn everything I could about it etc. Afterwards...I felt better. It's been the same ever since, with every challenge our family has had to face.
