latest updates

Hello my readers: I haven't taken the time to post lately. I think about it but never take the time to write, sorry for the delay.
On June 11, 2012 I had my 3 month follow up for my ultra-sound on my right breast. I called on Thursday 6/7/12 and I was able get an appointment on Monday. This was great since my kids were getting out of school on 6/12/12. When I went for my appointment back in March, I had one lump and they confirmed it was fat necrosis. Now I have three lumps that I was concerned about and I needed all three to be examined. I discovered my third bump on Friday 6/8/12. I wasn't that scared since it felt like the other two bumps but deep down I am always concern when it comes to my health.
I wasn't thrilled with the ultrasound technician I had. She reminded me of a new student who wouldn't tell me anything because she was afraid to get in trouble. When I asked her if the lump was the same size as last time, so replied" I will get  all the readings and the radiation specialist will have to review the findings". She took awhile to exam all three areas. I am sure she didn't want to miss something but I felt like she was new to this job. I think  for my next appointment, I will request one of the other ladies. The original lump is located on the right side of my nipple. The 2nd lump is towards the inner side of breast and the 3rd lump is located towards the top of the breast.
She finished all the measurements of each lump and went to get the head nurse to come into the room. When the head nurse came into the room she asked me to show her where my three lump were and she quickly examined them with the transducer for the ultrasound machine. The nurse said a report will be written up and sent to all the doctors I requested to get a copy. She believed all three lumps were fat necrosis. There was no blood flowing through them which is a great sign. She mentioned that my original lump compared to now has changed a little in size but seemed okay. She requested that I follow up with my doctor and I returned back in 3 months for another ultrasound. I made an appointment to see my plastic surgeon on June 28,2012.
On June 13, 2012 my son had outpatient surgery to remove his adenoids and put tubes into both of his ears. The surgery went well. He is 12 so they inserted an IV in his hand before the surgery. He was drowsy coming out of  surgery from the anesthesia which is normal but he didn't like the feeling. He felt sore in his throat when he was in the recovery room probably from the tube which is inserted in throat to breath and the adenoids are removed through the throat as well. We arrived at 830 am and were able to go home by 11:45am. He had to take it easy for three days after. He didn't like being able to stay in the house. I don't know why its free time to watch TV and play video games all day! On Saturday June 16 he was able to go back to normal life with no restrictions. We have a follow up appointment with the ENT on June 26.
Hope everybody is enjoying your summer. I will post all the updates again next week. O' we are also getting a new boxer puppy and she should be here by the end of next week. The kids can't wait!!! I will also update everybody about my daughter in the next blog. Stay cool :>
