Thanks, everyone!
I AM glad to be back. Rocky, I was super scared. Even though I'm really young for breast cancer, my mom had it at 40, so I was really frightened. Talk about a reality check . . . .phew!
The weight gain due to carbs wasn't as bad as it could've been. I know I couldn't control what I got in IV drips, and I really just didn't have the energy to fight the hospital folks or figure out what to eat this past week. But, overall, after 2 weeks of carbs, I only gained 3 pounds. I thought it'd be 10, for sure, so this is "doable."
I count myself really lucky! And, even though I'm still in some pain, everything looks possible, if you know what I mean. I'm just so grateful! :-)
Tomorrow, I've got a half day of classes. Then, my friend is going to take me to the store and help me shop for food. My fridge ran away with itself while I was recovering!
Anyhow, I'm gonna go rest some more (I seem really good at that, lately!).
Thanks for all the support and kind words. I'll talk to you all soon.
Sue
