Just wanted to give everyone an update.
Eyleen goes in for a double mastectomy on Thursday, June 16 the day after school ends. Chris is coming the night before and being amazing by staying with me while we wait for her to get out of surgery.
Katie is coming the day of also and will be around for the two weeks of gross drains and such that I can’t handle. SERIOUSLY I can’t handle. We were watching “Being Chaz” last night and almost passed out when his girlfriend was measuring and pouring out his drains. Oh man I’m getting gross hot slobbers just thinking of it. THANK YOU KATIE!!!!
Lois & Mark will be here sometime at the beginning of July, which is very nice so someone will be with Eyleen throughout the summer so I don’t have to miss too much work. As soon as the drains come out she’s gonna have 4 weeks of radiation, 22 treatments. After that at the beginning of August we’ve rented a house on Tybee Island and plan to do nothing but lay around and RELAX finally for FIVE WHOLE LONG GORGEOUS DAYS.
That’s really about it. Things have been going very well. Eyleen’s starting to get hair back, I bet by the end of the year she’ll have a full head of hair about my length.
She has a doctor’s appointment today to get her started on the oral chemo drugs and such and then one more appointment with the surgeon before Thursday. We’re both starting to get that sick anxious feeling since nothing’s really happened in almost a month. It’ll be alright though.
