I was discharged yesterday. There are so many medications I have to take now. The insurance company refused one I really need. It helped me so much with the reflux that was burning my throat and esophagus. I'm going to rant about insurance companies later. It'll take 10 blog posts to get it out. The won't let me have that but okayed some hard core pain reliever that some idiot women tried to high five me about that was standing behind me in line.
Attempts high five, "What'd you do to score the <name of drug edited>?"she asked me wide eyed and excited.
"I have cancer and I'm in a lot of pain." What else was I going to say? I locked the doors when I got back to the van worried she and her friend were going to rob me. Paranoid much?
It was snowing lightly when I came home. All the freak 60 degrees days in mid November I spent in the hospital. They wouldn't let me out side but I found I could open all the windows about 6 inches which was enough to feel the warm air and let the leaves blow inside from the wind tunnel next to my room. There was a dead bird out there decaying. It was something to look at besides brick walls.
Tulip wrote me a note that she left on the table hoping I was picking her up from school. I did. It was grand. Normality like that makes me so happy these days.
I have been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer. This is my journey. This blog is to communicate my situation to those who care to know; to share what is going on with my treatment, inform, educate and have a space to let it out. I also want to post the good stuff that is happening in my little world despite it all so that I can give the Tulip a magical place where we can share our life and history both past and in the making. Some of that will be here or on the the other blog.
