"What Defines Me?"

Wednesday, June 5th // 9:15 am Well, yesterday, June 4th, 2013, was the last day I had the privilege of owning a right breast. She was removed along with 3 lymph nodes. She served me faithfully through these 59 1/2 years--nursing 3 babies, supplying love to my husband, offering up vain appearances among other things. I thank God that I could sacrifice her for my life. My breast and "hair" will never define me. I am God's child and that is how I choose to be defined. I have to say though, it will be a little strange not seeing her when I look down. I stayed in the hospital for a day. The nurses were very nice. I was asked to do a segment for Channel 13 News while there, but declined because of the way I looked--horrid! I know that may be a little vain but that's who I am and God loves me anyway. I will be headed to the doctor in a few hours. I have two drains in my arm and breast. I hope they can be removed, but unsure. The doctor gave me two books to buy and read, "Wheat Belly" and "Blue Zone." I know I'm going to need to make some changes in my life and I hope it will be one for the better. I pray that my path report will come back with better news. I hope that this cancer will be able to be eradicated from my life!
