Vancouver - day 2

Great day!!! I slept in and did NOT have make breakfast, lunch, and drive Jordyn to school. I slept in !!!! I had breaky and talked to Norm. He so lovingly faxed over a sheet I had forgotten at home for Karen to fill out. Then ran the sea wall again. It was so lovely. After hearing it had snowed in PG this morning, I savored every step.

Chrissy, Bev, and I did some antique perusing. We also had our Thanksgiving celebration with a turkey and basil panini at a wonderful little bakery, and then it was time for medical appointments.

We went up to Sheina's office and had a little chin wag with missy Andrea (cutie receptionist) before Sheina arrived. Andrea entered the CIBC Run for the Cure in Vancouver and raised $400 all by her little self! Fantastic! Then Sheina popped in. The bottom line is that I can have my follow up surgery whenever I would like. I will have lipo, breast lift, nipple reconstruction, and dog ear removal. This will take approximately two hours and is day surgery.

I will wait until the hysterectomy is booked at home and then book this surgery around that date. I may wait until Spring Break or the summer. Apparently 5 days of Madonna cups over the nipples are needed to enhance healing and prevent weight bearing damage. This would not look cool in front of a class of teenagers. :) Also, after lipo suction, one has to wear biker shorts (or the equivalent) for 24 hrs/day for an extended period of time. Interesting . . .
Miss Sheina - cute as ever. Getting married in November!

Then we went to Bev's radiation. I got to go in the room and watch Keri prepare the bed and machine for Bev. Then I manned the techy station while Bev was sealed in the room. I found "the" button to talk in to the room and bother my friend as she was being zapped. It was fun. The techies had a sense of humour and allowed me the run of the station.

Now we are back at the condo having a little vino and awaiting dinner. Tonight we are heading to Dick and Loretta's for a fab meal. For those of you who know Loretta and Dick - you will be jealous. It is like having a meal at my mom and dad's. NEVER a disappointment. YUM!

We'll do a photo opp there and I'll post the feast later :)
