Finally At Home

Hi everyone.  Yup it is me and I am at home, praise God! I don't really even know how to begin except to say I could never have anticipated how this was going to be.  As a nurse I know all the procedures what was going to happen to me physically and I had piece in knowing I was going to have a mastectomy.  Well, words is what that all was I think.  Boy have I had a journey these past few days and like Sara said I am just on for the ride but let me tell you I have never prayed without stopping, I will find that verse later, like I have done since Friday.  I mean really praying.  

Friday we were up and adam (wonder what that really means) a 445am I showered with the cleanser one more time and we prayed as a family.  I made Lexi her lunch and kissed both the girls and gave them each a letter I had written for them.  the we were off to Chapel Hill.  My friend Pipi's mom works up there and she hooked me up with this really cool gal named Daisey we all LOVED her.  I changed out of everything, I couldnt even wear my wedding band, so I gave that to Kevin and he wore it on his chain.  I talked to every doctor and nurse and repeated over and over my name, date of birth and what they were going to do.  I guess what happened at that hospital where they took the wrong leg or something has them really being careful now!!  So we were getting ready to go to surgery when who comes around the corner but our youth minister Todd!  Can I just tell you I love this man!  How he found his way to me I will never ever know I was shocked.  He came in on his day off nonetheless at 5 am found me and then we prayed!  Boy do I ever know that we are in the right place!  So they took me away, Kevin did not want to leave me that part was kind of hard!  

I came out of surgery and they took me to the room.  I felt fine they gave me lots of drugs for nausea and I think some steroids so I was chatty like Lexi said.  Well as night drew closer and my mom and I settled in for the night we noticed my right side getting swollen.  We just watched it all night.  

So my mom.  I dont even know where to begin with her.  She has really been there for me.  We were up most of the night on Friday and she basically had to do everything for me!  I was so helpless and scared!

Sat. morning they came in saw me and not too soon after that had me back in surgery.  I am going to stop now and cont. later as I am getting tired and not to over do things...

So til next time I will find that scripture in the meantime.  I feel like it is in Matthew.

With so much love

Debbie
