surgery

My surgery will be Wednesday (7-29) morning. The surgeons have decided that it is best to fix the heart defect, so I will be having the tumor removed and having the heart defect fixed at the same time. I should be in the hospital for about 6 days. I am nervous but ready to get this behind me.
July 27- A man must have designed the bras I bought because they are so uncomfortable. I cut the under wire out and now they are much better.

July 26- my new hat

July 25-At Benno's in Galveston. The birds were very aggressive and trying to steal food.

July 24- I finally got my permanent cap, the last part of the root canal.



July 23- Detailed instructions for my neighbor who will be taking care of the animals when we are gone.




July 22- I think I like children's hospitals better than adult hospitals. This is the welcome sign, it's so colorful and cheery.





July 21- I was in a program called chemo angels during my first round of chemo in 2003. I graduated from the program but stayed in touch with my angel and we became great friends. This is my card asking me to be her maid of honor in December. I of course said yes and am so excited! I finally get to go to Kentucky!!



July 20- My new favorite drink, iced vanilla rooibos tea latte from Starbucks. They will swear they can't make it iced, but just tell them to pour the hot one over ice, very simple.




July 19- I love this hat, it's so soft.




July 18- I had to carry these around for 2 days. I kept having nosebleeds because my platelets were low.





July 17- My eyelashes are growing back, I get to wear mascara again!!!!





July 16- Happy Birthday Kim! We stayed at the St. Regis. This is my beautiful bed, so comfy.




July 15-(i can't get this photo to flip) my parents have been buying so many watermelons, they can't find a sweet one.



July 14- Rain, rain go away...



July 13- I don't even know what number blood transfusion this is. This was a bad day, I can't remember a day that I have felt so terrible.



July 12- I love okra, but I HATE the ends of the okra. I don't know why. My mom picks them out before she cooks the okra.



July 11- I can't believe this plant is still alive because I always forget to water it. Someone gave it to me when I first got sick 6 years ago. It used to be so tiny, it's really grown.

I assume your surgery went well? I sure hope so!

I love your hat! And that was a GREAT idea for your bras, I need to do the same.

Get a Holga, it's so much fun! I got mine on Amazon, and I think they have a 35mm one- I would do that. I got the 120, and I "rig" it with 35mm. 120 film is impossible to find and to develop, so I wish I had bought the 35mm Holga.
