This past week, I feel tremendously better (compared to last week). I can easily drive and tolerate sitting for long periods of time now the stitches are out. My appetite is slowly improving, but still not in the mood for fish or heavily salted foods...I think this one has to do with the fact the first thing I could eat was a super-salty beef broth (liquid diet), which was far from yummy. Still hoping to return to work, since this busy-body (me) needs to get hopping mid August.
My sister is doing well as she recovers from the major Disney trip last week. She is waiting to hear final pathology reports from her radical mastectomy and you can bet I'm nagging her to do her shoulder exercises!
Love ya!

Whew...big relief!
Everyone,
Today, I received confirmation from my surgeon the cancer was well contained within my cervix and no further treatment: chemo/radiation will be required at this point!
Whew...big relief!
To make my day even brighter, I can stop the self-cathing as well. Now that is a great relief as well.
I will return back to his office in 4 weeks when I will likely here confirmation to return back to work.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!
My activity level has picked up as well. I can walk for an appropriate length of time without feeling winded or tired...every day I am feeling more stronger.
Much love,
Robyn

I'm getting bored now...
So I'm wearing the mu-mu fashion out here in St. Louis. Well not really, only within the confines and confidential location of my own home. With the recent recovery from a bladder infection 2 days ago (no shocker - after all my self-cath technique is not fully 100% sterile at home), I'm starting to get a bit of 'cabin fever.'
Today, I ventured out to the local mall and boy was I winded walking around the stores. Within our 1 hour fieldtrip, I had to sit and rest 3 times! Whew-makes you appreciate the various sitting areas all about mall. It was really good to get out and about.
Tomorrow, Jessica will return from her vacation with my father so things will get hopping here when she re-enters the Otty household.
