Lazy Day

This has been the laziest day yet, without a doubt. My husband took my 4 year old to work with him again this morning, and I stayed in bed until almost 10 when they returned. I almost went straight to the couch to be even more lazy, but then, after trying to pull my hair back in a pony tail, I realized I hadn't taken a shower in days. I quickly took my shower, ever so carefully, and it was off to the couch... again. I slept and I slept, waking up just to change the channel on the TV and to take more medicine.
The past few days I have needed more pain medicine than usual and just today I have gone back to using an ice pack on my right arm. They took quite a few lymph nodes during surgery and I think it's starting to catch up with me.
The lymph nodes are these things that live in your arm pits. I hear the word over and over, but when explained, it's just a lot of foreign stuff I just don't understand. The only thing that I did understand was that they took out more than they wanted to, 17 to be exact, and 11 were positive for cancerous cells. That apparently is not good. The doctor said they like to see a smaller number, and frankly, I would have liked to have heard a smaller number. Oh... and I didn't tell you before... not only did I have one tumor, but two. One was a small round one and the other a long funny looking thing. Hmmm.... They did get everything, but again my right side hurts like no one's business.
Anyway, back to this being a lazy day.... I did get out again. Back to the wig store to make my decision, and we decided on one. They are ordering the one I like in a different color so I can look a little younger, so I am super excited about that. And we came home just so I could get back on the couch.... and fall asleep again.
I woke up, I ate, and now I'm waiting for bed time :)
I have a very busy day tomorrow. I have to go get a blood test, a bone scan, and a CT scan. This will take pretty much 8 hours out of my day. Yipppeee! From how I understand this, it's to make sure nothing spread to other parts of the body. They are pretty sure that did not happen, but they have to do it on everyone.
I don't want people to think I am ignorant on any of this cancer stuff. I ask 100's of questions at each visit, but these doctors tell you so much in terms you may not understand, and it's hard to remember EVERYTHING. I'm trying. I have books that I've been reading and the lovely Internet, but let's face it... when you have a disease, the Internet will do nothing but scare the hell out of you. I recommend going to Barns and Noble and read a book or two.
(sigh) Okay, time to lay back down!
