I'm still coming out of the fog, as anesthetic is one of the worse parts of surgery for me, still feeling queasy. I'm on pain medication and ice packs for the first 48 hours... I am basically in no pain, ice is wonderful!!
Jerry is coming over to take me for a walk in a little while, hopefully I can make it a mile (that's my Dr's rule about the wonderful white surgical stockings... can't take them off until you walk a mile a day.) I am physically OK to do it, just a bit dizzy... I think the fresh air will help that.
My neighbor just came over to check on me and while she was here I got very queasy, I had taken one of the meds. at 9 o'clock to reduce swelling, however, a side effect is nausea... sure enough I lost my breakfast at 10:15. But I'm not complaining, I'm still pain free!
We'll know by Friday whether we got clear margins and also about the lymph nodes, I think he took 2 or 3 to sample.
All in all the experience was a positive one, everyone at the Breast Center and at Sunrise Hospital were wonderful. I did not feel apprehensive for even one second, I had my clinging cross (they even let me take it into surgery!) and the dear Lord held my hand the whole time. I went into surgery humming "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" because I know that God is in control.
