Next steps with new shoes.

Hi, my name is Shelly and I like to buy cute shoes. 
On the good side, all the shoes I buy, I wear! I don't have shoes in my closet that I have never worn. ........Well, I did by clearance boots that I haven't worn yet. I don't wear boots in the summer months.  Most of my shoes I buy on sale. I found a good sale and bought some new shoes to wear to school when I get the go ahead to go back to school. 


I finished the shoe puzzle with the help of my mom. 

I was so blessed to see a friend I have known since Kindergarten. When she moved away, we wrote letters. (this was before email, Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram.) I'm so glad we were able to keep in touch and are able to see each other once in awhile.  

I had a plethora of doctors appointments this week. I saw my amazing plastic surgeon. I had fluid around my expander. He said it was normal. I was glad to hear that. Then he put fluid in my expanders. He explained the whole procedure. I closed my eyes and didn't look at anything except the back of my eye lids. I am so thankful there are people who are nurses and doctors. I am not one of those people. I have been blessed with some great nurses who were very kind. 

I kept saying I was going to be seeing Radiation guy on Thursday. My friend said it sounded like a super hero. As I got to think about it, it is like they are all super heroes. I'm not sure if I have a Justice League or Avengers.  I have to think about that. Well, radiation guy turned out to be a female dr. So the name is now Radiation gal. I wasn't sure what to expect. I asked a lot of questions and got information. I now have to figure out when it will be time for me to go back to work. I'm sad I missed the beginning part of school. 

Friday I had PT. I have more exercises to do to make sure I have full use of both my arms. I really like my PT lady. She stretched my arms. I am seeing improvements every day. The worst part is when I am sleeping and I move my arm without remembering I don't have my mobility back and it hurts and wakes me up. I have a couple of pillows to prop up my arms so I am comfortable. 

I did get some good news. At the place I go to PT they have someone who does massages and understands about people who have had bilateral mastectomies. After two weeks of sleeping on my back and having surgery, I am excited to have a massage!! whoot whoot!! 

My hair is growing back. It is dark, but not curly and auburn. That is what I was hoping for. It's not long enough to see if it will be curly. I am still holding out hope for auburn and curly. 

Pastor came to visit. I'm so thankful they will come to visit and talk about how God is in control and watching over me. He reminded me that God loves me and he is in control. What a great comfort this brings me. 

The farmers market in Green Bay is every Saturday. I love to walk around and see what everyone is selling. I bought some purple potatoes. I love purple potatoes. And I bought flowers. Flowers make me happy.

 

I am finally sleeping. I was having issues sleeping on my back. I had to sleep on my back when I had the tubes in. Then the next couple of days, my sides were sore because the holes were healing. Now I am sleeping and not tossing and turning. Jovi is happy about that. She didn't like the tossing and turning. Jovi did not like all the storms that went through. I didn't like the storms either. Not because of the thunder but because of the flooding it was causing. I prayed it wasn't going to impact my friends and others in the area. 

Next week I still have a plethora of appointments next week also. And the week after that also. Most are with my favorite plastic surgeon and my amazing PT person.
