Hi

I'm slowly getting back to normal things

I've been home for a couple of weeks but had a small out patientthingy
done at the hospital last Friday to fix some stuff.. I keep having to go
back a acople of times a week to make sure there is no infection and that
everything is healing OK.

I am not in too much pain (none at all if I sit absolutely still ; ) ),
and I am able to rest at night. We are having hot and humid weather which
doesn't help.

The lab results are pretty good, there is hope; ) and a preliminary plan
for the further treatments. Do't know when they will start, not until
after everything heals up OK.

Still on sick leave from work for two week, and I know I need to start
doing some sewing as all lifting and
carrying is forbidden (so no house cleaning for me). I try to think of
stuff to do all day.. the kids go back to school tomorrow.

Thanks for all the comments and well wishes.

Good work, Tiina! Do keep us posted what you are working on, and how you
are doing, and whatnot. As you are able, of course. Hugs!

Well my mother-in-law had called several times to the hospital to find
out how Tiina was. She hadn't come back to her room by 8 PM so she
called again at 10 pm. The surgery ended at 6.30 PM and if I understood
right it went well. Too what extent that is I am not sure. She is being
kept in recovery over night due to lack of personnel because of summer
holidays. I will know more tomorrow and hopefully get to visit with her.

Well my mother-in-law called this morning with good news. Tiina's
operation had gone well and she had been moved to her own room just
after Midnight. She had already eaten something this morning and had
received pain killers and is now resting. She said we would be able to
visit her just after Noon sometime.

I just talked to Tiina via phone. She is doing well. Unfortunately all
the lymph nodes in her breast and underarm had to be removed. We were
hoping that it wouldn't have to be so. The doctor found one that was
quite hard and decided to do away with them. The tumor has been sent to
the Cancer Research Center in Helsinki and the results should be back
for Tiina's first follow-up on Aug. 1st. The surgery lasted from 2 pm -
6.30 pm. She was transferred to her room around 11 pm last night. She is
o antibiotics and painkillers. She can sit up and go to the bathroom on
her own now. She still feels a little dizzy when she does so but said it
is getting better. We will go to visit her after the meal time so that
would be after 4 pm.


So! It's going fairly well, considering, and we can keep thinking of
them.

Hope you will feel better soon. You will be in my prayers.
