"you never get the ability to vacuum back" - funny!!! Do you think they've ever mentioned to a man in post-op instructions not to vacuum??? And I'm aware too and wouldn't mind being a little less aware.
I’ve been scrolling past the Breast Cancer Awareness logo square ( for 5 days) thinking it was a notification and a coincidence… & I’m fretting a bit that you hadn’t come up for air and felt like writing an update yet.
And just now something made me look a little closer and THERE you were ! It was you all along! You’re back and you can still write! :)))
Deciding I didn’t need to bring anything except me & the breast is SO something I would have done! Sigh!
You described PERFECTLY the frantic, sweaty moments trying to find the one spot you were to report to in the city size maze of hospital-ness.
Hey, I found out about this from Aari's Facebook post. Glad this is all behind you. And I enjoyed reading your substack post. Your 'voice' reminded me of my old friend from Camp Alamar!! Sending love and wishes for a complete recovery ❤️ Jo Gold
So glad to get this post. Truly your posts are the only emails I enjoy reading. Brava for Aari willing away covid. I will forever think of you and your breast whenever or if I ever vacuum again. I hope they warned you about the blue pee that would freak the hell out of me. I also enjoy that the only thing you remembered to bring to the hospital was your breast.
I look forward to more updates as you move through and past this whole annoyance.
Dear Barbara, You made it through! Congratulations. I'm proud of you, and Aari, and hope you feel great about all the enduring friendships you have built in your life. Xoxoxo B

Love that it’s Mr. Tumor and “I needed none of it and ate everything except the flowers and the pumpkin.” Glad to have you back.
