Fun filled day!!

Today I am 9 days post bilateral mastectomy! Woohoo! I feel really great except for these dreaded drain! Ugh!!!! I hate hate hate them!! They itch, burn, hurt....and I can't wear anything to conceal them!! They are not fun at all! I'm still draining 110ml in a 24h period! Ugh. Ugh. I know they will be in at least another week and a half....maybe longer! They do serve a purpose...a very good one. But....I still HATE THEM!
Anyways, today my cousin had a BBQ and we also dyed eggs. It was nice to get out and not think of my surgery even though everyone talked about it and I cried.....they talked about how strong I am like my mom was....Funny, I don't feel like I can be in the same catagory as my wonderful selfless mother. She was a saint and my hero!!! I'm not that. I just did what any mother faced with cancer would do! I did what I had to do for my family! Anyways, it was fun and I love to hear stories of my mother.....I never want them to stop. The crying just comes out cause I miss her so so so much! So I love hearing about her. Oh!!! My cousin plays on a softball team and on the back of his jersey he put a pink ribbon in honor of me and my mother ;) it was the sweetest thing! Family is really amazing! Today was a great day!
