Settling into a routine

I'm totally narcotic free. Not like I was a junkie, but I am not needing it for pain control. In fact, I have had some time where there was absolutely no pain at all. Most is a 1 or a 2, but some Tylenol takes care of that.

I told Wayne that I didn't want to leave the house today. I'm tired of running around, and it is tiring me out. I would like to have a good day of sitting in the house quilting.

I went to the open house at the Greek Orthodox church with Cindy and the kids. It was very interesting to see the church and hear about the church. They gave us some information to take home, which I will read. We had a nice lunch, learned how to make tyropitas (phyllo sheets with a filling of feta and ricotta, kind of like crab ragoon). Andrea and Benny got their faces painted. Wayne told me I couldn't go, that Catholics are forbidden from going to other churches. I told him I wasn't going to the services, just an open house. I asked Father Mal, and he agreed with me. Actually told me that I could go the services, I just couldn't partake in the Communion portion.

I woke up this morning missing my dad. He would be getting up early, even if he didn't have to. I sure miss Joe. I know he is always with me. He's my guardian angel. Just gonna have to settle for what I have.

I will be seeing Dr. Chaudry, a medical oncologist, tomorrow. Just to make sure that we are on the right track, and to see what long term medication would be the best. Tamoxifen is what Dr. Feinberg and Dr. Collins have talked about, and I am fine with that. There are other drugs out there, and just want to make sure that I am getting the absolutely appropriate treatment.
