We Have a Date

Wow.  Things just got incredibly real. 

I just went from being really frustrated that the two surgeons' offices couldn't coordinate and figure out a date for my surgery to overwhelmed because of the phone call that told me that this surgery will take place SIX days from now.  My mastectomy and first part of reconstruction will be Wednesday, January 23. 

I'm actually very glad that they gave me very little time to "absorb."  As soon as I heard that date, I immediately started sweating.  I knew this was coming.  I've had more than 4 months to decide, understand, plan...  But it's here.  NOW.  I'm so anxious about losing a part of myself (as much as they disgust me) and about having surgery.  I know I'll get through this.  I'm hoping I can bounce back as easily as I managed to through chemo.  But it's so major!  My life has been altered from the day of the diagnosis, and here's another step.

I have updated the meal train dates, so if you are interested in helping with a meal, you can sign up now.  If anyone is interested in helping any other way, please contact me so that I can coordinate:  Meal Train

Oh man...
