PT is amazing!

Today was a PT day... I had started going to PT for tendonitous in my right foot.  It has evolved to help me get ready for this reconstructive surgery I will be having in one month. 

Jayne is my Physical Therapists and we have really connected -- she is a twin and they sound so much like Lindsey and Sarah as they are very different from each other.  She has done so much to help me get stronger and really understand how the parts of the body work together or against each other.  She has now brought in her new colleague who specializes in Oncology patients.  Robin is another wonderful person who is now on my team and knows so much about this surgery- she has even watched one done before.  She filled us in on what kind of recovery I would have to endure.  She put me at ease because she filled in all the missing pieces of the surgery that I did not know.  Robin gave Jayne some different ideas on what to focus on before surgery and then they will come up with a plan after the surgery to recover stronger than before.  Robin is also very willing to do home visits after surgery just to make sure all is going OK in the first weeks which will be the hardest.  It was a great appointment!

I am so thankful that I do not have any treatments this Mother's Day weekend!  I am looking forward to spending time with friends and family all weekend and enjoying all the surprises these girls have tried to tell me about this past two weeks.... 6 year olds were not made to keep secrets.  The twins have almost told me my presents and the plans for me so many times.  Lindsey even asked me one day if she could just tell me it all so that she did not have to feel like bursting with surprises.  I told her that it would be most disappointing to her sisters if she told me since they worked hard to plan it all with her. 

Herceptin will be the following weekend and after that there are only 2 more until I am done with that part of this journey!!  WOW!!  I really did not think this time would come!!!
