Post Surgery Update




The scars three days after surgery.  So far it has been good and I haven't required much pain meds at all.  My next appointment with the specialist is on Jan. 7 so I'll find out what the tissue was like that they removed, then.

I'm so glad it was so quick.  Two weeks from discovery (I actually found it the month before, and had the appointment already scheduled to 'meet and greet' my new family doctor.) to surgery.  I spent two separate days in the hospital getting a full body bone scan, abdominal ultrasounds and a separate breast scan... its a good thing I wasn't a patient on House, given that something awful always happens when they're being scanned.  The MRI's aren't that claustrophobic anymore either.

Merry Holidays, all!

  1. You are obviously a strong woman, as you appear to be healing well & keeping a positive attitude too. I'm happy for you that you are coping so well, and hope you continue to recover well.

  2. Thank you! I try to be strong, but this is only the second time I've ever had general anaesthetic in my life, so its all new to me. How am I supposed to react? I don't know. I'm not in pain, just very tired and with enormous appetite, so I suppose that solstice feasting is a good thing!

    Thank you for the good wishes. Denoument is coming...

    Glad to hear that the surgery went well and that recovery from same seems to be uneventful so far. Thank you for the update.
