Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Still feeling good..

I am still doing good. I didn't have a very good sleep last night so I will try to take a sleeping pill tonight. But other than that things are good. I am starting to lose my tastebuds so that means the mean white pealing tongue is lurking. No muscle aches yet.

I went to see a very nice plastic surgeon today. I have been put on the list for reconstruction. He thinks I can get in somewhere between 6 or 8 months. That is quite different from what the other doctor said. I would have to stay in the hospital 6 nights and can't drive for 4 weeks (yicks). I'm sure that I can't vaccum either. I also need to give 1 liter of my own blood before surgery.

I did another training walk. 4 km today. Walking uses many different muscles - my quads and shins are hurting but a good hurt.

So that is about it. Sandy is due home tomorrow. Sandy's mom is still here at the house helping me with Jessica.

Bye for now.

Love Carolin

    Happy to hear that you will be able to get your reconstruction done quicker than you thought! To be safe, I would stop vacuuming now, so that "others" in the house can get used to exactly what needs to be done -- you don't want to leave these things until the last minute.

    Take care -- so glad to "hear" you in such great spirits! Rebecca
