New developments

So at the end of week one of radiation and continued physical therapy on my arm and shoulder it has been determined that I have some nerve damage as a result of my surgery. Apparently this is fairly common and one of those "this could happen" things they warn you about prior to surgery.

The good news is... it can be overcome with continued physical therapy, the bad news is it will take 3-6 months and with my fibromyalgia on top of the healing and radiation effects could take longer.

In other news I was denied for my disability (A shocker I know!) so now I need to find a good disability attorney that is reasonably priced and doesn't want any money unless I win. So if anyone has any referrals please pass them along.

I have finally hit my emotional wall this week.. I have had several breakdowns and am pretty much over it all... I will move past it I know and keep having to remind myself that I have cancer, it does not have me.

To all of my friends that have come to visit, met me for dinner and things like that.... I can not thank you enough for treating me like Denise and not making everything about my illness... you get the update and then move on to other things.. it means so much more than I can ever tell you.You know who you are (I hope) so I am not going to name names.

And to the wonderful people at Main Street Pizza Pie Co. in Alachua.. I can not tell you how much I look forward to me weekly Stromboli (that feeds me three times!) it is the one thing that is consistent in my life food wise along with the laughter and fun that comes with it. It is proof that people come into our lives for a reason and I am so grateful to have all of you in mine and will continue to bring new people in to enjoy your food and hospitality!

Thanks to everyone that keeps checking on me!
