Well, now I appreciate the VAD port...now that they can't use it!!! Don't get me wrong, having an I.V. isn't the end of the world, but using the port was much easier and less stressful for me. I hate needles. Yes, I have tattoos, but I hate needles going into my veins. It's gross.
Anyway, it went fine. Although I am now sporting a lovely silver medic alert bracelet. I did not know that for my lifetime I can not have blood pressure checks or needles in my left arm. The side I had the mastectomy on. So I'll get used to it - the bracelet that is.
Anyway....I'm pretty excited...I have the date of my 4th - MY LAST treatment!!! It is May 20th. And then.....I can start moving forward. Thirty days after the last treatment I can get the port removed and have the final reconstructive work done. I'll also start hormone therapy and...hmm....I think that's it. Oh - I'm having some serious pain in my left ribcage so I have to go see a Physical Therapist. They're not sure if a muscle is in spasm that was in an awkward position during the second surgery. It hurts like hell, I'll tell ya' that.
Ok, so Sunday morning (yes, total change of subject) my mom and I went out to breakfast at a restaurant that I still call "Ron's" because it has changed names so many times. Anyway, I love that place and had a great meal. When we were walking out of the restaurant, I got hit with another great memory......
When Patty and Shaun got married at the Governor's Inn, they stayed there on their wedding night and then all the Lachance's met at Ron's for breakfast the next morning. It was a warm morning and I think it had been raining a little bit. Anyway......we were all standing outside and a guy drove by with the "Macarena" song cranked in his car and we started doing some of the dance moves on the sidewalk. The wedding was a blast. Patty had just taught me how to do the Macarena a week or two before the wedding, and of course they played it at the wedding so we could all display our stellar moves!!!
Anyway, I digress. I love my Lachance family. Hugs to all of you.

Hi,
Even though it's not ron's any nore the breakfasts are still awesome.
Norma and I have been going to a little place on Route 11 called "Little Miss Sophie's".
Food is great and service is awesome. The owner's wife saw the signs on my car and asked me to take some photos of "Miss Sophie" for theis menus. She is a 2 year old who is sooooo cute.
Only 2 more treatments, you must be anticipating the last one.
Norma and I are happy for you for doing so well over the last few months.
Keep it up and make us even more happy when this is all over with.
Luv ya
