Sorry this post is so late. Life got crazier with the holidays and family. I know you all have been waiting to hear how the genetic consultation went so I'll give you a quick run down. Genetic counselors like the shock and aw affect. Well that lady sure shocked me when she told me that because of my mother's family history (without blood work back yet, mind you) I would have to get my boobs cut off at 30. I don't think so, chick! If I have my way they're not coming off until they look like old lady flapjack boobs. You can keep your mutilation ideas to yourself! Well we did get the blood work back and mama is NOT a carrier so as of yet my natural-boob-life is still about 20 years. Take that presumptuous counselor lady!
In other news, mama got her port put in today. The procedure went about as well as could be expected and she is now resting. For those who may be wondering how a port gets put in DO NOT google it. The real life images that come up tend to show infected ones and are not easy on the eyes or stomach, especially if you or your loved one are about to go through the procedure. Here's a nicer way of showing how it is placed:
For those wondering how I'm handling everything so far my best response is I'm still alive and the world is still turning. More on that later. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Bye guys!
TTYS,
Aleena
