We celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary last Sunday with an open house at Nunnlea. It was lots of fun.
Sarah and Paul have set their wedding date for September 13th. They are getting married and having the reception at Blackacre Nature Preserve. We drove out to look at it after the anniversary open house, and it is really beautiful.
I visited my plastic surgeon last week about the abdominal pain/swelling I am having, and he informed me that I would need another surgery to correct the situation. It involves an overnight stay, mesh, a drain to come home with, and a lengthy recovery. I will not have the surgery until June, after Katie's graduation and our vacation, which has been scheduled for months, with plane tickets already purchased. I am hoping to be back to "normal" by Sarah's wedding.
I also visited my oncologist and began my five years of taking Tamoxifen this week.
I picked up my compression garments today, and will see my lymphedema specialist next Thursday to have them approved. Two of the fingers seem a little snug, but a week's wear may improve the situation.
I feel like I am starting to regain some energy from the radiation. I still nap a lot, but I am able to do more during the day.

My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:20-23
