One week, two weeks in In the Kingdom of Suzu

One week from today I see the orthopedic dr about my knee—cannot wait as my knee, while not really any worse, is not any better. I am hoping that a shot will help and I can get back to exercising.

Two weeks from today I have the mastectomy. I will be out initially for six weeks. I will have drainage tubes for a couple of weeks—that is probably freaking me out the most as I am rather squeamish about seeing blood as it will be red at first. I will only be in the hospital overnight and the reconstruction will start right away. The dr is going to take a biopsy of the right lymph node but I will not know the results right away.

Much to do this weekend and next to make sure everything is caught up so I hope the weather is nice, so much better to clean, wash when it is nice out as opposed to being cold and rainy and you just want to curl up with a good book.
