I had a mastectomy yesterday

15 years ago

and I am home today. Surgeon said he was 99% sure all lymph nodes were clear, more extentive results coming this week. This is my third breast cancer surgery and the easiest. Just excited about the report and feeling so good after one night in the hospital.

The crystal really does help bounce some wonderful light around the room, which it needs-- it's usually a bit dark in my diningroom. I had been thinking of Judith's marvelous pink and crystal Christmas table. It's such a delight! Mine is doing a bit of a crystal, green and gold thing at the moment... In between all of the half-empty boxes of decorations, etc. I need to put away! :-) PS-- While you're online and I remember to mention it-- hope you're feeling okay, Judith! -Jenn

Lee and Ann - Thanks for the get well wishes. The nurse just put 2 strips of what looked like heavy duty packing tape on it. Gave me a couple of strips and said to change it if it came off. I think the stuff is going to be stuck there forever. It got a little dirty but can't change it, won't come off. Hope the doctor can get it off. Clare

I had a 'moment' yesterday

Keepit... I am not one to agree with KKNY but here goes... We all know that talking to teachers is parent responsibility blah blah blah...and it would be lovely if the parents were available whenever the teacher felt the need to relay a message ... I just say ok I'll tell dad here is mom's number you can call her. But the part I agree with KKNY about is ... what do you want to be called? what are your SD's friends calling other parents... are they saying Mrs. last name or Mrs. first name .. Ms first name... Most of my SC's friends parents go by their first name. But my BC I was Ms. lastname. and their dad was Mr. lastname... just depends what others are called ... my BC had friends whose parents were much older than I was so we used "proper names". When I was just the GF to my SC I used to tell children who asked I was a friend of SC who are you, I am SD's friend and you are? Kids are smart they can figure it out eventually the nosy kids will ask more. After awhile the kids would say she's my future SM, then evenutally SM there is not the stigma attached to being a SM as there used to be its accepted in society today ... yes you get the old bags who look down on you but too bad for them they will get over it. I do love the look of "shock" on people's faces when they ask ..Your husband has custody? YES! (still a big stigma attached to that) Ceph... I agree about the auntie thing I think it has a negative connotation when it comes to being GF... I don't care for it either. And with the signing of papers ... :) at the first parent teacher conference every year I go and talk with the teachers and tell them I will be a last resort for signing if dad forgets or whatever. I have a secret code worked out with the teachers that in place of my signature I put a green checkmark where it needs to be signed so they know an adult has signed it and seen the homework. So mom does not get pissy ... I will not sign "permission slips" its on them to get a parents signature not my responsibility. :)
