Lets see where to start..... I guess with me. Let me start by saying I am healthy and alive, no worries. I saw the cardiologist and I am having palpitations in the bottom chamber of my heart. They feel like a slow deep beating. They sent me home with a monitor for 24 hours. I took it back today so I won't know anything about it for awhile. They want to do a stress echo just to check things out. I will do that February 6th. Good news I had an echocardiogram before chemo so they have something to compare it to. They had to do it then to make sure my heart could handle chemo. I saw the plastic surgeon today and I am going to have to have surgery. The right breast which was the one that got radiation is getting hard. The other one is soft and feels real. He said we need to work on this one before it gets worse. So he will do a day surgery February 18th. He will take out the implant, scrape out the scar tissue and give me a new implant. He can't guarantee it won't happen again. Just one of the down falls from radiation. This won't be a big deal at all. I also saw the oncologist today. She said I am doing good. She took me off the tamoxifen and is starting me on femara. It is a newer drug that is better. It does the same thing blocking estrogen. I will probably be on it for 5 years. She also wants me to have a bone density test. All these medicines and the hysterectomy taking the estrogen isn't good for the bones. My blood looks good. Still no more CAT or Bone Scans.
Brian found out he still has nearly perfect vision even with his cataract so he isn't doing surgery right now. They are just going to watch it. They sent him to be tested for diabetes etc. of course his blood is perfect. He said maybe he should give me some of his blood to water down my cholesterol. No diabetes and no explanation for the cataract. He has had a cyst on his wrist for years. They didn't want to do surgery to remove it because it is by an artery unless it got to bothering him. Well he has gotten to where he really can't grip with that hand. He went to the orthopedic dr and he has carpal tunnel and he is also wanting to check his nerves. He did an MRI yesterday and goes back on Monday. He told him he will go to a neurologist to have the nerves checked out but we don't know when.
Logan keeps having eye problems. Every two months we have him at the eye dr because he can't see. He turns his head to look out one eye. We are now patching his eyes for one hour a day. We rotate eyes everyday so we are working on them both. I hope this fixes it. He doesn't mind it at all because the dr told him he had to play games on the computer or watch tv for the hour.
Lindsi is good. No issues with her, knock on wood. Oh, she is finally going to loose her 1st tooth. There is a loose one. It better hurry up because the other one is already coming in behind it. I don't think she will catch Logan anytime soon he has lost 8.
They are both doing so good in school and they love going. They had their first awards assembly the other day. They both got 3 awards. All A honor roll, knowing all their letters, sounds and sight words and no tardies. If they both hadn't been sick one day they would of gotten the perfect attendance. Dang bug...They didn't care, they were happy with the 3 they got. They are working on the kindergarten spring musical right now. I can't wait for that.
January 25th will be our 21st anniversary. We are going to spend it taking kids to the dentist. Maybe we will go eat somewhere good.
Sorry I wrote a novel... So much to tell. I pray each of you has a blessed day, week, month and year.
