| Drain Removal\n Homecare stopped in to remove the remaining drains. One of the ones from the left was really freaky - it snaked all the way across my body and looped around. There was a LOT of tube inside of me. It's great to have it removed - I think some of the tightness on my chest, and the weird \"cord\" feeling things were all that drain! Facebook Posts:\n So, I got my pathology results yesterday. The cancer has spread into my lymph system, so I'll be signing up for more of a fight than I was hoping for. According to the AHS roadmap, I will see an oncologist in 6-10 weeks, which is quite a long wait, but it might afford me the ability to still volunteer at the Fringe this summer. We'll see.\n Drains are all out. One of them was freakishly long - coiled up inside me. There was more than a foot of tube inside. Creepy as **insert profanity of your choice here**. I’m wearing a t-shirt! Yay! And the Klingon forehead and Cardassian face are gone - it was all drain tubes! Rhandom for Rhandom Scheuer - Poem from Scott Alderson:\n Worst news arrives with snow\n another May day they say \n but who are they?\n and who invited them to speak?\n we laugh on big decks\n eat Teen burgers and Mozza's\n talk about everything \n My friend faces obstacles \n uncertain outcomes \n as if life was predetermined \n we all stumble sometimes \n like when the Neurologist \n sat me down and dropped \n life changing diagnosis \n prognosis not pleasant \n My friend wears bravery\n like a thrift store suit\n takes microwave popcorn \n to her x-ray appointment \n pop, pop, pop\n teasing technicians \n with a smile on her face\n distraction reaction \n Returned from Mexico \n returned her breasts\n difficult decisions decided\n wish her all the best\n with futures open wide\n soon Sunny skies\n we who call her friend\n clap hands as she takes the stage. | ||
