43 More Days

I’ve been feeling really good lately.  It’s been SO NICE!  I’ve been doing some normal mom stuff.  I love it.  I’m still pretty tired, but overall things are going well.  I went to Brooklyn’s soccer game last Saturday.  Good times.

Now that I’ve been out and about more I realize most people don’t recognize me with my wig on.  It’s really funny.  I’ve seen some of you and you don’t know it’s me.  I’ll say hi and I get the nice smile and hello, but no recognition.  Others just look right through me.  It’s hilarious.  So if you were at Zeeland Christian, Meijers or church lately and a stranger said hello to you, it was probably me.  :) 

I had an MRI at Spectrum last night to see how big the tumor is.  Getting an MRI is intense.  The machine is so loud it’s crazy.  It went well though.  I don’t have results yet.  Hopefully I’ll have them Friday. 

Today I met with Dr. Hoberman.  I really like her and now Dusty was able to meet her too.  I’m having a double mastectomy with a modified radical mastectomy on the right side.  This means they’re also taking my axillary (under arm) lymph nodes.  At the end of the visit, she even prayed for us.  She’s a wonderful surgeon.

Oh and guess what…my surgery was moved again!  This time it was because Holland Hospital didn’t have an OR available for the block of time they need.  My surgery is now on November 5.  I have 43 days left. 

School is going well for Brooklyn.  Max and Samantha are doing well.  I can’t believe they’ll be a year next month!  Time flies. 

I’ll see some of you Saturday at the Race For A Cure.  I can’t wait.

    I SOOO wanted to say hi to you today. You were walking into school with Brooke and I was driving out of the preschool parking lot! I almost stopped the car and ran over. I though it might look a little strange though. I hope we can “run into” eachother soon! You looked beautiful with your wig, I recognized you right away. I actually saw Brooke first and thought she was beautiful and then looked at her mama and realized why!
    I will be thinking of you and all the runners/walkers on sat. I will be out of town so can’t participate but you will be in my thoughts!
    Glad you are feeling better, must be nice to have some sense of normal life.
    God Bless,
    Wendie

    Hey Lindy!
    You sound good! Can’t wait to see you on Saturday! I will have Elsie with me too - I’m so excited! I’m so glad you’re going to be there. Well, I feel bad I haven’t written in a while; I still check your posts… BUT, know that we’re still always always thinking of you and praying for you!!!! Were you at Randy’s installation at your church? Randy invited us, but I had Sunday School and it was the first week…but, I am still curious how it went. Sounded like it was a neat service! I got November 5 on my calendar…of course let us know if it changes again! Luv ya!! Julie (Nels & Elsie too :)
