For my lovers of gore, I found a clip of what my surgery will most likely look like. I will be having my breast tissue expanders taken out (I love how they just pop out in the video) and my new implants put in.
Surgeries are fascinating!

June
Everything has been business as usual around here. The kids are busy with summer activities. I'm busy trying to get my house in order and Eric is busy working to pay for it all. :)
I had chemo again on Monday. I'm happy to report that I only have three more left. My last Herceptin infusion is two months from today.
My final surgery is so close that I can hardly stand it....71 more days!!
My left wrist and shoulder are still pretty achy. It's likely that I will always have pains in that arm. I also notice a lot of tingling and numbness in my fingertips. Normal complaints, I'm told.
Despite that, I'm feeling pretty damn good.
People don't look at me like I'm sick anymore. Friends have stopped asking how I'm feeling. My doctor appointments are now few and far between.
I missed this.
I love the normalcy that this summer has brought. I never want it to end.
Here are some pics of June. It's been exciting and busy!
We went on our yearly Father's Day adventure to Valleyfair last weekend.
The week prior to that, I met some friends in Chicago for a long weekend. Too much fun!

Great Outdoors
I'm not outdoorsy, I don't like bugs. I do, however, like to watch my kids play with bugs....and turtles.
We spent the weekend camping in a cute little cabin "up North."
We fished, chased turtles and spent the whole weekend together doing family stuff...without a tv. We all survived and can't wait to do it again!
We love Minnesota!
