Full time work, especially during parent teacher conference week, made for a really long week! I fee good though and almost back to normal, almost. I did get my first "fill" this week at Atwood's office. It went well. I was a little nervous, but I didn't even feel the stick of the needle he used to numb me. I guess sometimes it pays not to have any sensation! They slowly "inflated" me with a syringe with a tube attached to a canister with saline. I got 50 cc in each breast. I was sore the next day in my back, but by Friday, it was all better.
Noah has had quite a bit of attention from his photo that Amber took. Amber has had two calls: one from Komen Headquarters and one from someone locally that wants to use his picture for a public service annoucement during October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month). I think the Headquarters people want to use it for a poster and make it available for local affiliates to use it for promotion purposes. Cool, huh? My friend Val had a lot to do with getting his photo in the hands of the right people. She thought it was so moving because it shows a completely different side to breast cancer and how it is affecting the younger generation. Thanks Val! We also got a copy of the magazine article from Texarkana in Four States Living magazine. The article was wonderful. Chad is going to try to scan it in so that people can look at it.
Also, my Race for the Cure team in Texarakana is HUGE. At last count, I believe 108 people have signed up. On Chad's page, many people have donated money. I feel so honored that people are doing this for me, but more importantly for other women who may have their life toppled on its head by a diagnosis of breast cancer. I have heard the Jenna's Hens and Friends T-shirt is WAY CUTE! No one is telling me exactly what it looks like though....
Chad and I went to the game last night. It was good that we won; however, I could not enjoy it the way I used to because my last image of Noah was of him crying as I drove away. He wanted to go with his Momma. Elizabeth, his babysitter, said he was fine though as soon as I was out of sight! She said he was good and they had a fun time playing, which makes me feel better. Who knows what he was really like though???
I need to run. I am going to go to church this morning. I have not been since my surgery, but feel it is time. Hope everyone had a great weekend!! Hugs and Kisses!!
