Today started out as a really good day. Kevan helped me get ready so we could head to Nashville for my first post-op visit with the plastic surgeon. It is amazing how long it takes to get me ready. The shower alone took us almost an hour because we have to work around the drains and I can’t wash my own hair. Kevan does a great job though. I am so blessed to have him. I went almost 6.5 hours without having to take a pain pill. It felt great to not be dizzy, to feel normal, but to also not be in pain.

Day 14 – My Bald Head
When I woke up today my hair was falling out in HUGE clumps. I don’t know why, but I thought it would fall out little by little. Um….no. It falls out in handfuls. Here is a picture of a ziploc bag of how much hair just “fell out” during the day today. It is a […]

Top 10 List…
This is my attempt to do a funny top 10 list of things that will be new experiences after a bilateral (double) mastectomy. I know that my surgery was serious….but God gave us a sense of humor for a reason. I’m still in pain, I still can’t look at myself in the mirror just yet […]

You Have Cancer
