Today was / is doctor day again….saw the OT to check if all is still in order with lymph nodes, all seem to be fine and in order, praise Jesus for that!
Waiting to see the doctor to change the dressings and then we have to wait to see Prof Benn too…to discuss the operation and results from the lab tests on the lump…
P.S. still struggling a bit with t-shirts and things over the head so hence the reason for not wearing my flamingo shirt just yet…

Done seeing Prof Rapoport and had to go back to Milpark for dressing change – turns out I am very allergic to plasters and the other dressing they put on made me itch…..
Luckily we are done. Next appointment is Prof Benn and again Dr Kourie for follow up after the op and dressing change again – all next week Wednesday….
🦩
Done seeing Doc Kourie for post op follow up. He is satisfied that the wounds are healing nicely….the drain is out so no more bag around the neck for me! Yeay!!
And I am not able to wear my flamingo shirts at this stage due to the drain and not being able to lift my arms properly….
Next stop Prof Rapoport….we were more than one hour late to wait here….
🦩
Yeay! Good to go, checking out the very next day which we are grateful for! Had the opportunity to have a week of my sister all the way from Riversdal…what a blessing and special week!
Sent home with a lovely drain that is only to be taken off who knows when…..

Waiting to be admitted….today is operation day….

PRAISE THE LORD!
So we finished up at Prof Benn just after 17h30….and the BEST news ever, she does not feel anything in the glands and the lump is ready to go and be removed.
Never in my life have I looked forward to an operation, but this one I am looking forward to!
And to close off – I am wearing pretty pink earrings that my good friend and own personal cheerleader gave to me (and just so that I can post on Instagram I had to take another picture 🤭)
And yes my hand looks like that of a boxer 🥊🤣 – to assist with the swelling, side effects of chemo through my hand before I got the port in December….
God is GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Today was D-day (doctor day 🤣). I decided one pic is enough for all the appointments (we had 4 scheduled for today).
First appointment – Dr. Ramjee. All is good with the heart. Swelling of feet seems to be aftermath of chemo.
Second appointment – Occupational Therapist Gabi Kourie. Swelling of the hand will go down, I need to have it massaged (note HAVE not DO myself 🤭 excuse for Heinrich to touch my hand 🤣).
Third appointment – Prof Joseph had the joy of sticking some more needles into me today to insert the mag trace for use in theatre.
Fourth appointment – still waiting to see Prof Benn to make sure all on track with the op and the lump and everything that goes with it. Still waiting for this appointment to be done…..
