Today I think I have survived this ordeal! I feel so much better today!
The good news I received was that the tumor was benign! I should have been overjoyed with that news but when they called me I felt so horrible I didn't appreciate it nearly enough! Today I appreciate that word much more!!
The crazy part of my feeling so bad has been that my shoulder has absolutely killed me. I think my shoulder has hurt worse than my breast has! I'm not exactly sure why that is the case but I think for whatever reason that made me feel worse than I would have normally.
I am so thankful for the way it worked out. It was not in my plans. As I've studied Jonah The Life Interrupted, I've learned that the author (Priscilla Shirer) calls them divine interruptions. My life was definitely interrupted this week for whatever reason.
For the first time in a very long time, I found the sofa and stayed there! I can think of very few times when I have laid around here and done NOTHING!! And when I ask for help...one must know that I think I'm about to die!! I asked for help this week! Monday a friend kept my children for what turned out to be four hours! And on Tuesday, I had another friend come and take care of Krisann. My sweet pastor's wife brought dinner on Tuesday night. And another friend is bringing dinner tonight. So I have been well cared for this week!
I did do some school with my big kids today! I have picked Krisann up today. Up until today, I have only allowed her in my lap when I had a pillow and she had to climb up. But today my soreness is a lot better (except for my shoulder). This morning when I went in her room I didn't have a pillow so she handed me her pillow pet out of her bed before I could pick her up!! Boo boo is her new word!
The rest of my family have definitely been great helpers as well. They've been so patient and sympathetic! And I know that I have put them all through quite a roller coaster of emotions this week. When I explained what had happened and why I was gone for four hours...Conner's immediate response was the way our luck was that I'd die in a month! Chloe cried and cried. Zine's stress was obvious as well. Thankfully, as I feel better they feel better too! I didn't realize how much how much we as mom's set the emotional status of our home. I definitely will be more in tune to my emotional status with that realization!
So although, I had a scare and wanted to make sure everyone knew me, the end result this time was good! We definitely needed a good report!
