Better

The cortisone injection I received last week has really alleviated the bursitis. Hope it lasts awhile. Mind you, I don't feel like doing handsprings, but it is a definite improvement!

Tomorrow I go to a lympheodema center to see what I can or can't do from now on. Not real happy that I will have a lot of restrictions. I already know I shouldn't lift more than 8 lbs. with my right arm...and geez....a case of bottled water is heavier than that! So is Stella, Bella and Levi. By the way, it seems lympheodema can be spelled with or without the "o." Woo hoo.

On Friday I saw my radiation oncologist and his nurse-practitioner. It went well. He wants to see me again after my PT scan at the end of July. I have to schedule my mammogram tomorrow. I wasn't sure if I should go back to the place in Orlando where I had my biopsy or go to the new radiologist at the Florida Hospital closest to me. There was a big shake-up at the place I used to go to, so my other radiologist (who read my MRIs and did the biopsy) probably isn't even there anymore. This new guy spoke at the last BC support meeting and I was very impressed. Lots of good credentials and very knowledgeable. My radiation oncologist told me that since the lumpectomy and radiation, things will look quite different and this next mammo will be my new baseline, so as long as the new radiologist has my previous images, it should be fine to switch now.

Forgot to take my sleeping aid last night and I didn't sleep well at all. Wide awake in the middle of the night. Then I feel asleep close to morning and had incredibly bizarre dreams. The kind that seem sort of real. Hate that!

I give up trying to grow vegetables down here. The leaves on my tomato plants were being eaten by some tiny pest and now it looks like some type of worm is eating the fruit. I'm not doing this again....GRRRR

Interesting how I seem to be complaining about stuff more now than I did while undergoing treatment. What's up with that??
