~8 WEEKS POST OP~NEW PHOTOS~DR. Appt. TODAY~

~HAPPY MONDAY~

I just love this picture of Bob, Alex and Me taken before my hair fell out!!!

Can you believe it..... IT'S ONLY BEEN 8 WEEKS POST OP!!!! WOW WEE!!! I'm doing great!!! My sores in my mouth are GONE and I have my appointment today with my plastic surgeon for a check up and possibly another fill in my expander's. They are already at 420cc each and I'm LOVING IT!!! I am not sure if I will go any bigger and I am anxious to talk it over with my plastic surgeon today. I am impressed how much the scars heal so quickly and are so thin. I have about 600 stitches on the inside that are now starting to dissolve. Sometimes they will poke out of my skin and I have to pull them out because they are annoying. LOL....Here's to another GREAT appointment today!!!!

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS and if you get a chance, take a look at the new photos of how wonderful I am healing. Click here and please be advised that these are ACTUAL PHOTOS and they are to be viewed at your own discretion.

EARLY THIS MORNING BOB WAS INVOLVED WITH PUTTING OUT SEVERAL "SUSPICIOUS" HOUSE FIRES.....HE HELPED 2 PEOPLE OUT OF A SECOND STORY HOUSE ESCAPE....I AM SO PROUD OF HIM AND THE OTHER GUYS THAT SO SELFISHLY RISK THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS. Below are just a few photos of past fires that Bob has helped put out. Our OLD CAPITAL in Iowa City was ablaze from some construction workers and Bob was even on CNN for climbing to the top and cutting a hole in the dome to let some fire escape. THESE GUYS AMAZE ME!!!! I LOVE THOSE FIREFIGHTERS!!!!

I AM LOVING THIS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH GIRLS!!! I will try to get at least one picture a day of all these AWESOME HATS for AMY!!!! LOVE ALL OF EM and there is no way I can ever repay all of you!!!

~CHEMOBRAIN~

Yes, that is what they call this short term memory loss. I am so glad there is a real name for it!!! I found that out on the cancer website. So here is what is happening, I am mixing up numbers, I forgot Nick's name the other day, I sleep 20 minutes to 5 hours at a time....ANY TIME OF DAY!!!! I am starting to get my days and nights mixed up and I can't remember who I have e-mailed and what I e-mailed to them. OH, and I picked up 8 different glasses and coffee cups this morning as I set my water down and forget where I put it. THAT IS NOT LIKE ME!!!! And last but not least....I am going thru menopause....induced by the chemotherapy....YIPPY SKIPPY!!! That to me is a BONUS!!!! So there you have it.....lots to write about today and now I need a nap. I think I am emotionally and physically wiped out!!!
Hugs to all of you and I love ya bunches....~Amy~
