Live each moment completely,
and the future will take care of itself.
Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty

I have been living in the moment. I have returned to taking my Tylenol 3s (one a day when I just can't take the constant nag of pain under my arm pits. I drain my pouches three times and day and keep a record of how much is coming out of each side. My left side, the cancer side, has increased it's outflow. Apparently, I need not be concerned. Hmmm. I'll see what the plastic surgeon says on Friday. There is quite a bit of bruising on my left side and of course the tight, gripping pain which limits my movement is unending, but durable. My back pain, due to my hunched shoulders, is soft enough to ignore.
So how am I you ask? Well I think I am doing what everyone else would do. I can walk and I can reach so far and I can do so much. This is what I do. Today I reached into the microwave without stepping up on a stool. It felt good to do regular household duties.
Betty, my mother-in-law continues to chauffeur me and the kids to our destinations. We greatly appreciate her patients and efforts. She has adapted very well to BC roads.
