One Week Post-OP

Hi! Just a quick update - I was able to go to JFK yesterday to be evaluated for certification as a Clinical Chaplain. I was there from 1pm to 3pm but I was finally recommended for certification. (I only had to use the cancer card and pull out my drains once...). This is a big weight off my shoulders. Now, at whatever point in the future I'll be able to work regularly again, I'll be able to get a job. I was exhausted afterward but I think I would have been under any circumstances. Tomorrow I have my post-op appointment with Dr. Simmons (who apparently didn't have her baby yet...) I get to meet with the Breast Center Team - medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, nutritionist, plastic surgeon, etc. They all review my case and offer me options. Thank you all for your continued prayers and well wishes. I am enjoying the drawings, flowers, plants, fruit, cards, blog responses and e-mails. I've heard from some of you that it has been hard to post a response to the blog. You have to create an account first (free) so that just anyone can't post an inappropriate response and not be accountable. If you're still having problems let me know and I'll have someone who knows what they're talking about (clearly not me) walk you through it. It has been very helpful to read your comments (and song lyrics...) More tomorrow after the doctor's appointment...
