i had surgery last Wednesday, (January 23) and it went great! i know it was from all the prayers, and God moving. There is no other explanation!
Going into the surgery, i knew that the best case scenario was that the marker was all that was left, and it was a done deal. But i also knew the worst case scenario was that i could wake up with a masectomy. So i did my best to prepare myself for either outcome. Everyone was great! They got everything done faster than expected, and have a followup with the Surgeon this coming thursday at 4:30 pm to find out if it’s all gone! (pray!)
i came out of anesthesia better than any other time in my life. i woke up quickly with no real pain. Was able to eat some peanut butter with graham crackers right away without getting sick, and we even picked up some chinese food for me to eat when i got home. However nausea has started back up again, sometimes really debilitation. i am hoping that if i don’t have to do anything else, it will start to fade away as well.
In the mean time, i am being very good – following the docs orders very explicitly! Check back on thursday night, i will be posting the results of the biopsy are, and if there is going to be any followup treatment. You know, in words of that great philosopher we need to “nip it in the bud!” 🙂
Thanx for the continuing prayer for dad and i. We went to his hearing aid appointment yesterday (Monday, January 28), and when we got home he twisted around to say hi to someone, and rolled right down. Thankfully he went down over by the side steps, so we were able to stand up him up pretty easy. i am not able to lift anything over 5 lbs until cleared, so i helped with my right arm, acting more like something he used to balance on. He is still a little sore today, but nothing a couple of tylenol can’t help. We are both keeping an eye on him right now as well.
Please pray for the clear nodes! Very little, if any, followup treatment. My strength to return quickly, and everything needed to finish this fall into place!
Thank you all again for your prayers! Hoping we are approaching the end of this journey. And starting my next journey!
