A Scary Place To Be

In the last few days, my emotional numbness has worn off and I faced the thought that breast cancer is scary. It definitely is scary. The thought of my own mortality is looming over me. What do I want to do? I want to make some small difference as I go on with my life. It used to be that I wanted to make a big difference, but I got past that a couple of years ago.

The incisions feel funny. Annie says they will feel funny for a year. They are tight and they pull on my chest. Annie told me about an aid I can get at Target that will help the scarring.

I have had the computer on for over an hour trying to get a message screened. I forwarded "Sailor's New Friend" to Mary Ann and Janell. Had to wait until the message was FINALLY screened before I could get onto the Internet.

My friends have helped me through the stage of realizing the danger with my mind, but not letting it get to me emotionally. Now the numbness has worn off, but I am doing ok with it.
