What the hell just happened?
9/8/22 Day #95 I need to preface this post by saying that I had typed this entire entry only to hit a button and it disappeared. Right on par for this title. Story of my life. Today marks 3 weeks since my double mastectomy. I was praying and preparing for this day for months and it felt like it was taking forever to get here. And now I am on the other side and can say it feels like a cat 5 hurricane just swept through my life. Even though I had warning and many preparations I am here assessing the damage, taking stock of whats left, trying to pick up the broken pieces, and figuring out how to move forward. We arrive on time at the hospital and check in. I put on my "costume" and perform my last tasks for preparation. First thing is mapping for sentinel node dissection. So they wheel me down to Nuclear Medicine. As the elevator doors close I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the shiny steel elevator doors. Wheelchair, socks, gown, mask, hair
