"Aunt Poop"

Mawg goes to the surgeon tomorrow for her first post-op check-up.  The incision under her arm, where they removed the lymph nodes, starting showing signs of infection this afternoon.  With her appointment being very early in the morning, we are going to wait this out till then.  I am keeping a good eye on it to make sure it doesn't get any worse.  It was only a little bit of off color drainage.  There was no swelling, or redness that was out of the ordinary, and Amanda came by to give it a look too.  She calmed my fears a little which is what she does! 
My sister in law Elaine took Mawg out today to get some more new bras and while they were out she found some inserts that she liked.  Once a little more of the soreness wears off, she will give them a shot.   We are also looking at a catalogue from Liberator Medical that has a lot of nice options.  As one would expect, she is a little apprehensive going out in public, but she is dealing with that like a champ.  I see moments of emotion and I do what I can to alleviate her worries.  I am sure that I am some help, I just wish I could do more. 

The Susan G. Koman Race for the Cure in Saint Louis, is this Saturday.  A friend of the family is running the race and has asked Mawg for permission to run with "Aunt Poop" (Mawg's nickname) printed on the shirt she will wear for the race.  What a wonderful show of support.  Thank you very much to Angie Marie!  We love you very much.  We are with you in spirit every singe step of the race.  We wouldn't be in this fight without the great people at Susan G. Komen for the Cure!   

We have a busy week ahead of us.  My 25 year class reunion is this weekend.  An informal "meet and greet" Friday night, and a family friendly picnic Saturday.  We will both be attending Friday night's soiree, but she isn't able to sit outside in the sunlight or the heat so Saturday I will be going by myself.  I am pretty excited to see some folks that I haven't in a while, even though a lot of us keep in touch through Facebook.

That's pretty much it for now.  If there is any news from the surgeon tomorrow I will be sure to update as soon as I know.  I anticipate that there may be a prescription for antibiotics, but nothing else.  She really is healing at an impressive pace.  Let's hope that keeps up!

As always my friends, we love all of you.  We are more than grateful for all of your love and support.  We wish for you much love and peace!
