Saturday morning and I wish we were off to breakfast and had a relaxing day planned. But this whole weekend will be spent moving my studio apartment into my storage unit. We were there last night for about 3 hours packing everything up. I must say we definitely were exhausted from work and then packing. Although I thought I would be very sore today however I am not too bad. I will just be glad when it is all done. So will Adam since he is doing most of the hard work.

So this week is almost over and wow has it been long. Who knew I would be so exhausted my first week back. But I am glad to be back and soon enough I will be in a normal routine. I will say my emotions have been everywhere this week. However that is to be expected. I finally met a cancer survivor/ co-worker (Jennifer) who I met via email at the beginning of my journey. It was so amazing to meet her in person and relate on so many levels. I am also attending my first survivors benefit in September with another survivor Andrea. I am so excited for this and know it will be an inspiring day.

Hope the weekend treats everyone well.

First day back at work yesterday was great. Of course I was very exhausted by the end of the day however I had such a warm welcome back. My co-workers had decorated my cubicle with tons of letters and inspirational quotes. It definitely brought a smile to my face and made me love them even more.

I will say I am so sore from my doctors appointment yesterday. I believe it was my last injection into the expanders as I am happy with the size as of now. I actually could have them a bit smaller but I think they work with my body shape. I just hope this pain subsides soon.

Well back to work tomorrow...I am healing well and I have been given the ok to return to work. I must say I have missed everyone terribly and can't wait to catch up with them all. I do have another injection tomorrow early morning so I am sure I will be sore for my first day back. But that is just fine. It is one step closer to being done with these expanders.

As I am sitting here watching Oprah, and yes that helps me heal...ha ha...I guess you could say I had a "light bulb" moment. The show today is about grief and losing a loved one. One of the guest said, it is not about the dates...the date someone died..the birthday...and so on. It is about the memories and when they choose to surface. And it occurred to me that makes sense. I always seem ok on those days relating to my mother but other days might be a bit harder. But today I know my strength and fight through all of this is because of her. So I love you Mom and thank you for guiding me to my cancer free diagnoses.

My doctor appointment went well today. It always is a bit painful when they do the injections however I guess you just get use to it. I did tell the doctor that I might not want to go much bigger. The look on his face was a bit funny. I guess maybe he is use to patients going as big as they can. Unfortunately I might have to go a bit bigger than I would like to fill the skin that is still left. Oh well I guess I won't complain too much about that....ha ha

So exhausted...I had trouble sleeping last night so I feel pretty out of it today. Today will be a day of resting...Tomorrow I have another appointment with surgeon for expander injection.
