4 days until surgery. We decided to go out of town this weekend. No use missing out on some fun! Ron, Tom, Steve & Steve and I are headed to one of our favorite places; Louisville, KY. Churchill Downs, here we come! St. Louie Slew is running on Saturday. I have to take my mind off of cancer for a day or two. The tumor is a strange feeling. I'm super-conscious of it when I sleep. I received a care package from my sister-in-law's sister, Janine, from Camdenton, MO this week. In it was a heart shaped pillow (for under my arm after the lumpectomy) a book (Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Survivor's Soul), seek-n-find book, pen, pencil, notebook, lotion, Germ-X and playing cards. The card was from her and her breast cancer survivor friends and their phone numbers. SO sweet! We also received some frozen foods to make next week from Tom Fischer and his wife Sandy. Another very kind gesture. I feel the love. Thank you, God, for friends.
