On Sunday, I bought some bookcases from Target and carried them up 3 flights of stairs. I didn't realize that doing that would leave a huge bruise on my right forearm and two bruises on my right leg. The one on my arm is pretty sensitive. I had the pediatrician in my lab take a look at it today. It looks like it's healing since it's turning yellow and hasn't gotten bigger. I hope it's mostly gone by next week when I'll have my last chemo infusion since they can only infuse in my right arm. The left arm is left alone since some of the lymph nodes were taken out there, and additional pressure or stress may cause lymphadema or swelling of the arm. I'm also hoping that my platelets counts are OK for next week. I had a random nose bleed yesterday in the car while I was putting on my makeup.
I saw my favorite doctor today, my surgeon, for my 6 month check up. She did an exam, and everything looks OK, no odd lumps. "The symmetry is quite good," she said. :) She had a doc from Switzerland shadowing her today. It was a brief visit, but I asked her about the clogged duct. Since I'm still healing, it should be OK. There's a black "stitch-like" mark at the incision site. She thought that she could take it out with foreceps, but then said it can come out on its own. There's slight peeling still and some tanning, but no problems.

Grace, THey were actually those do-it-yourself bookcases. I did take plenty of breaks. OK, I was a little crazy. Yes, go platelets!
