I have been feeling great this week, but was reminded that there is still work to be done. On Thursday I had my Port surgically placed. It was a short outpatient surgery, but still had to have anesthesia. Everything went well with no complications. The highlight was seeing Beto and Lila come pick me up and Lila holding a balloon that said "Get Well Mom"! We went home and took it easy the rest of the day. Lila has been so careful not to bump me, she knows I have a "band-aid" and a boo-boo. She reassures me everything is okay. Now that I have the Port in, treatments will be so much easier..no more needles and IV.
The other reminder that the Chemo meds. are doing their job is that the one side effect the Dr. said would occur has began. I thought that maybe, I would be lucky and it wouldn't happen to me..well I was wrong. Hair loss has begun. It seems like everyday more and more is falling out. Oh well or as we say in Spanish.."nimodos"..life goes on and so will treatment. I know it is only temporary so I must move forward and start showing off my hats and new hair.
On another note....Beto and I are sooo proud of our Lila. Today we took her to get her first Haircut. She was awesome. We have been talking to her about getting earrings just like Mami...so today she got her ears pierced too!!! Yes, she did cry ..but quickly got over it. She looks adorable. Will post pics. soon.
Thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers, notes and phone calls. Thanks to my wonderful Moms group for the meals this week---they are awesome. I will start Round 2 of chemo on Monday ...will post more then. xoxoxo
