Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice

Well not everything nice.  :(

In fact this week was filled with some unexpected emotional challenges and very painful complications which sent me back to the doctor two days in a row to try to alleviate. The hope is that by the end of the week we can get the swelling at the right side incision site under control and it doesn't turn into anything more serious. 

On a brighter note, I had some great bonding moments with some of my various caretakers as I am finding out that nothing is more fun than being naked and allowing your friends measure the fluid that drains out of your body. 

The biggest progress of the week was my physical ability and mental willingness to leave the house for any other reason besides a doctor appointment. As uneasy as I felt about being out the house there were two things that made all of it worth it. One..My very first pumpkin spice latte of the season!!! and Two..seeing the smile on Heather's face as she got me out to enjoy it.

This week brings more doctor appointments and finally a meeting with an Oncologist on Friday to get a official treatment plan. My Grandma flew in from Vegas yesterday to keep me company this week and dare I say having her here is  even better news than the return of my beloved pumpkin spice lattes?

I can unequivocally say a resounding yes. Yes it is. :)
