AHHHH! I AM COMPLETELY BALD....
BUT my boobs are bigger then they have ever been! I go and get my weekly "fill" each Friday. It's like going to the spa to me. Instead of a facial I get a big needle with saline solution to blow up my ta ta's. I have FINALLY hit puberty. After 33 years it is about time! This week instead of filling them 25 cc's like they have done since my surgery, I told them to double it and fill them 50 cc's each time. My ta ta's are now at 175 cc's a piece so this will add to my weight gain and chest size. 150 cc's to go! Holy cow is Steve excited...I kind of am too! I have never had boobs before!
Now on to the hair thing...again! My hair started falling out more about four days after my first big hair cut. I would take a shower and get so freaked out to wash my hair because it would just rub off. YUCK! On top of that it was making a mess! I am a clean freak and hair every where was driving me bonkers. Once again I had it shaved down to a buzz cut. Steve was so brave to shave it this time. That lasted a whole 48 hours until I had to use my own razor and spend an hour in the shower shaving the rest of it off. I am now completely bald! Don't you dare tell me I look good bald! My head is in desperate need of a tan to even itself out with my face shade. I am revealing my beautiful, untanned head, with NO make up on....at the end of this blog. So make fun of me all you want...but I am pulling the cancer card on you for this one...you will feel guilty afterwards!
After I shaved my head I put on some make up with the Jessica Simpson wig I received from my friend Angie. I LOVE it only because it is a new look. I already fooled a long time friend of mine, Mike Holm and his wife Emily. I was at HyVee on Saturday and they walked right past me and did not recognize me. I laughed the whole way home. I can get use to this! =)
I go in on Thursday to meet with a neurologist for my right hand. My index and middle finger have been numb since my surgery in April so we are going to get to the root of the problem. Please pray it is only a temporary injury and my nerves will come back sooner the later. I WANT my right hand back!
I also start round 3 of chemo on Thursday. Hopefully I will only have 13 more rounds to go as I will find out if I have the HER2 receptor which will require more chemotherapy. Please pray I do NOT have the HER2 receptor.
Thank you to:
Bob and Sue Peterson for the Olive Garden gift card
Heather McQuillan, Heather Terry, Elizabeth Norris and Sara Recker for the Victoria's Secret Gift card
and Pete and Kaye Bataillon for the Papa Murphy's gift card!
Thank you to my cousin Leah, her husband chad, my aunt Linde and uncle Terry for setting up the cleaning crew. It is so nice to have one more thing off my plate.
Thank you to all our family and friends for your continued support, love and prayers. You make us stronger everyday.

Thank You pt. 1
Tuesday, April 26, 2011
Thank you to my sister who drove and stayed with me for another unexpected surgery. I had to go back to Midlands Hospital for surgery to remove my chemo port. Dr. Grange came to the conclusion I would need a pediatric port because my arms are so small. They are going to wait until I get all the feeling back in my fingers and my hand is completely functioning before they put in the pediatric port. It will go back in my right arm. For the anesthesia for surgery they had to put in an IV but they couldn't use my right arm, because it was already in pain and they couldn't use my left arm, because they took out almost all of my lymph nodes from my mastectomy the week before. So they had to put the IV in my foot. I am not going to lie...it hurt! Of course I could not shower for two days after surgery...but at least it wasn't a week like the first surgery I had. I stayed at my sister's because Steve travels for his job and he was going to be gone this week. Thanks to my sister for taking on the additional duties of taking care of Olivia and me while Steve is out of town. You are the best!
God bless my mother who is watching all the kids until I am recovered from surgery and the days I have chemotherapy and radiation. Thank you to my dad for helping out by driving the kids to and from school. You have helped me so much during these last few weeks. Thank you will never be enough.
After my first surgery I received so many phone calls, texts and gifts. It is so overwhelming as I am hearing from friends that I have lost touch with over the years and their generosity has sincerely touched my soul. I get so emotional when I think the time and effort friends and family have put in.... all for little ol' me.
I have so many thank you's and I dedicate this blog post to all of you who have reached out to me with your kind words, cards, phone calls, flowers, gifts and meals. There are so many I hope that I don't forget you. I tried to write them all down post surgery.
THANK YOU to:
My Aunt Linde and Uncle Terry for bringing over the first meal with beautiful flowers.
Home made chicken noodle soup always hits the spot.
Joan and John Allen for our second meal. Mexican, fruit and brownies
Jen and Matt Fehringer for the enchiladas, salad, muffins and cookies.
Katy Bode and Deanna Wolf- The Steak salad and soup were delicious!
Kathy Knickrehm Your Chicken and rice was wonderful
Kelly Robson - LOVED the fettuccine Alfredo the kids loved your Easter themed cupcakes.=)
Thank you to my sister-in-law Rebecca for the adorable necklace!
Thank you for taking the time to make it.
