We're Almost Done!!! I Hope...

I made it through 5 days of being isolated... the first 2 in the hospital were actually easier than at home.  I could hear everyone and would especially be painful when I heard the baby... I didnt want him to know I was here because I was afraid he'd be banging on the bedroom door.  Casey would go outside and would ring the doorbell for fun.  Baby Chris would think it was me at the door.  He'd go running happily toward the door hollering MAMA!!  MAMA!!  But, no mama.  That made me so freaking upset! 

Yesterday I came downstairstair making everyone stay away.  Everyone helped keep baby Chris away and it was nice being in population again.  So today has been tough.  Daycare was closed, and we had no where else to take the baby so Phil stayed home from school to help me watch him since I still need to keep him minimum 3 feet away.  Its still very hard.  He tried getting me this morning and my sly steps away from him ended up me running from him.  He caught me, smacked me, and said "youre bad"!!!  I started crying.  I cant wait for this all to truely be over!!!

Tomorrow I finally go to see the surgeon, and hopefully he can do something about my voice.  Its still far from working properly.  Its a bit better than it was 6 weeks ago, but still not good enough for me to be confident enough to look for a job.  Then Friday I go for my whole body scan.... AND I'LL FINALLY BE OFF THIS DARNED LOW IODINE HELL DIET!!!!!  We pray, and expect, the cancer to have been contained only in thyroid area... and then I'll be cleared to try to be normal again!!!  This has been such an ordeal on all of us... I know we'll all be happy to hear we're done to be in our normal disfunctional state rather than this crazy living we've been subjected to. 

The light really is at the end of the tunnel and its getting closer!!!
