One month today!!! Since I had my double mastectomy. It seems so much longer. But it also seems to me that I should be farther along in my recovery. But the body can only heal so fast.. I can definatley see progress, so let’s go with that. 

I have had a couple of really busy days. Catching up on my TV shows that I had taped and chrocheting all day long. Lol lol. I guess I didn’t realize how busy Jamie was keeping me. I need to do some venturing out on my own a couple times now. So tomorrow is the day. I need a few groceries and a Wallmart stop, I have driven so little in the past few months, it is crazy but I feel a little nervous to drive. 

I forgot to write about my shopping day with Jamie on Monday. We went to a work wear store on the west end of Edmonton. Jamie was looking around and I found some men’s underwater on sale, I was picking some out and the sales lady came up to me and was giving me the pitch about what a good deal they were.  Then she started to say that “we” women shop for our husbands and do for them and always put ourselves on the back burner. She said like for instance when was the last time you bought a new bra for yourself? I was like dumbfounded……She said really when was it ? I was thinking is this really happening to me ?  I kind of looked at her and didn’t say anything. She kept talking about how it was about 5 years since she last bought a bra and yet she shops for her husband all the time. She kept talking and talking I was just staring into space. Then I said to her I havent bought one in awhile and it will probably be a long time before I by one again. She looked at me kind of like why?? Then I told her I just had a double mastectomy. Caught her by surprise and she was quiet for a minute. Then she said I am so sorry. I said don’t be, I am still here I am alive and that is 2 things I can live without ( really I did say that ) the sales lady was very gracious and smiled at me, then I told her about my blog, I said I write most night and that I was going to put this story in my blog for her to see, and I would mention her..she said she would check it out. So sales lady if you are reading this tonight …. Remember me from Monday ? 😊

I had a nice treat tonight when two of my girlfriends that I have been friends with since junior high invited me out to supper than to a show. We saw Patriots Day with Mark Walberg, it was a movie about the Boston marathon bombing.  Great movie and a really nice night out. Thanks so much Julie and Lyla I really do appreciate it. 

I did call the Cross Cancer again today. Still no openings on the cancellation list. If there even is a cancellation list. I also called the Kaye Centre to see if I could get in any faster for the biopsy on my thyroid. Yup  …… you guessed it no openings there either. But I don’t give up that easily I will try again on Monday. Hopefully they will get sick of me calling and fit me in somewhere. That’s the plan 🤓
