Surgery

So, I am 6 days post surgery and still really sore. I knew I would be, but not in the places I am sore. For the most part, surgery went well. I arrived at the hospital around 6:30, registered and immediately taken to a pre-op room. From there I had to have dye injected into the lymph node area so the doctor could see the sentinal lymph nodes he was taking. Boy did that sting. The radiologist apologized ahead of time before he inserted the dye. Then I went up to mammography where the same radiologist inserted a guide wire for the surgeon so he would be able to make a clean cut of the tissue surrounding the tumor. The radiologist apologized again! I told him he has a heck of a job if he has to constantly apologize all day! Then I went back to my pre op room and waited. Dr. Peyser came to see me, and at 11:00 I went to surgery. I remember getting onto the table and that is it. When I woke, I was in recovery. I had been there 4 hours as I didn't wake up very fast from the anesthesia. My throat was so sore I could barely swallow. Finally at around 5:30, I was headed home. I climbed into bed, and Mark and Paige ordered me some soup for dinner. It got there just in time to have the power go out in the entire village! So, we ate by candlelight and cell phone light. I slept really well that night! I'm going back to work Monday, and can't wait. It's the last three days before break so it should be fairly easy. I may know Monday in regards to the pathology reports. I can't say enough about the staff at Millard Fillmore Suburban, they were all so wonderful.
