New Grandson

Well, I'm finally a grandma! I am officially 'Mamee'. Thane Michael DeLaune, Jr. was born at 9:03 p.m. 11/11/09 (Veteran's Day). He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. and was 19 inches long.

He is beautiful and so far pretty good. Here are some pictures.

Cancer is Complicated

Yesterday, I finally went to the orthopedic doctor. He confirmed what I already figured out, that I have 'trigger finger'. I told him I am convinced it's caused from the Femara. He wasn't too sure at first but I told him about other people on different breast cancer forums who take Femara (or other arimatose inhibitors (sp?) and some of them have the same problem. So, he put it in his notes and hopefully, this will help someone else.

He gave me an injection (cortisone) and said to wait about a month to see if it has helped any. If not, he may perform a minor surgery.

My daughter who works at Brown-Rogers Physical Therapy, thinks I should go in to get a splint and that would help enough so that I wouldn't need surgery. I think everybody here just thinks that I enjoy surgeries!.....

If I hadn't had the stupid cancer, I wouldn't have needed the mastectomy and reconstruction surgery and I wouldn't have needed the hysterectomy and I would not have gotten this crappy trigger finger!!!!

Oh, by the way, the good news is oldest daughter might be going into the hospital to have the baby tomorrow!!!!! That makes everything GREAT no matter what cancer tries to do.
