Doctor update

Rough doctor appt today. I got my last drain out. Yeahhhh!!!! I got my stitches taken out today, but... I got new ones on the left side. So I am sore again pretty bad. I'll get used to it soon I hope. I found out today that I would probably have a 6 week recovery time after the trans flap reconstruction surgery. I am really dreading that, but I won't think about it again until it is time in several months. I didn't get a chance to ask when I can return to work and to what extent. I did ask at the last appt last Friday and he said not for another 2 weeks. We'll see. I am torn. I am super sore still, but I am also over here w/o a paycheck having to pay doctor bills and household bills. I am in the middle of a catch 22. Maybe this upcoming week I will improve greatly and will feel ok with returning back to work, but at this moment I am very nervous about it. Ok enough about work. I better go visit with my family. I am super enjoyng this extra time with my family. I hate that it is in these circumstances. I'm glad it's me and not anyone else in my family. I can handle this b/c I feel in control of this and my treatment. I will post again after my radiology oncology appt Tuesday. Thank you all super much for all you have done for my family and me from the food to the prayers. We really appreciate it. Thanks
