I've been trying to coordinate the writing and art workshops at Piedmont cancer care programs with my visits with Dr. Tran, my oncologist. The workshops are very encouraging and thought provoking. I don't think that SE trans will provide transportation. I would like to get a car soon and/or move back to Atlanta. Although I am trying to start a chapter of Sisters Network here, there is nothing going on in support of breast cancer survivors here in Greene county. Plus it is very boring here.
I just got a treadmill, and I am trying to come up with a schedule on using it. It took me a week to get it out of the box, another week to put it together, then two weeks to decide on a location. My 2 year old grandson encouraged me to get on it, when he got on and I had to get on to keep him from hurting himself.
Dr Tran's office got me scheduled for the pt/lymphedema check, scheduled for 12/10, at the hospital.
Dr. Tran also gave me a recommendations for GI, and I am scheduled for a consult with Dr. Okoro on 12/13.
I'm still waiting on the appointment for the ultra sound. I'm sort of uneven, lopsided, due to the radiation of only one side, and Dr. Tran said she could not really tell what was going on, what is scar tissue, expander or whatever. Also, for that reason, I would like to see a plastic surgeon when it is appropriate.
What should I do regarding Dr. Davidson, the surgeon? Should I call his office, is a there a formal procedure I should go through for him to release me?
I am praying and trying to stay on track, and not get depressed -

I try to develop a routine. I call in to a prayer conference call every morning to
get going (6a- 530-881-1000 code 254793), then if I get up brush my teeth,
wash or shower, eat breakfast, take my meds, I feel as if I've accomplished
something for the day. Sometimes I end up lying around watching tv, but I feel
better if I work on a couple of projects like quilting or writing. It's not easy,
because I live alone and I know that no one but God will know if I spend all day
in bed, plus I will know. I want to get better, and this is all part of the 'fight'
