I'm so over it.

Turns out, I'm not nearly as patient as I thought I was. Why can't I be all better already???

Man, this weekend was great. Shaun came up, and on Saturday I even felt good enough for him to take me out to lunch and a little shopping. To quote my friend Cecelia, I felt "on top of the world"!

Guess those steroids they gave me before the surgery were making me feel pretty good, because once they wore off, I realized I really didn't magically bounce back that quickly. Don't worry, I'm still doing really well! Saw my surgeon for a follow up today and she was super pleased with how I'm healing. The thing is, well, I'm just tired. I haven't been able to go back to work or yoga or running this week like I really thought I would. Okay, it's only Tuesday. I had surgery on Friday. But what Dan says about me is true: I don't do sick very well.

I may not be patient, but I am decisive. I'm not going to sit around and worry about what I can't do. Instead, this next week (or so) is all about the positives. Today we had our follow up with the surgeon, and guess what? The tumor they took out was actually a little smaller than they thought it was... only .7 cm. The margins are all clear, meaning it hasn't spread to the surrounding tissue. And the nodes they biopsied are officially cancer-free. As I type this, I have a huge smile across my face because I realize how very, very fortunate I am! Thanks to everyone for your prayers... I believe they are really working.

Mmm, time for some of my husband's home cooking and my favorite new addiction, the Olympics!
