Our Maine vacation was great! We feasted on lobster, crab and ice cream, and gained about 5 pounds. The weather was beautiful for the most part—sunny and cool. Hurricane Irene did hit us, though by the time it reached the Maine coast it was just a tropical storm. Lots of rain and high winds (we lost power for a day), but no flooding or real damage. The evening of the storm was kind of surreal and creepy, with the howling wind outside and no electricity in the house. Glad I wasn't there alone! By the next morning, the sun was back out and it was a gorgeous day. I only wish we could have brought some rain and cool temperatures back with us to Austin.
On the cancer front, the results from a third genetic test, known as BART, came back negative. This was good news, but in a way, a positive result would have made it easier to come to a decision about having a single versus double mastectomy. I feel like I'm back to square one on that. I need to figure this out very, very soon because I'm seeing my breast surgeon this coming Tuesday to schedule the surgery!
