It's Over and Good News

Man, I thought yesterday was a long day......we had to report to the hospital at 7:15 so it was hurry up and wait.  They admitted me to a room and I got my IV in right away and then we waited until 10:30 before they moved me to pre-op.  Pre-op was more questions to make sure that I was the right person and I knew what they were going to do.  I also will not forget my name or birthday when I have alzheimers in my old age! :0)
Pre-op was approximately another hour before I actually went into surgery.  Then it was a blur until I woke up at around 2:00.  I was in recovery for another 45 minutes to an hour and finally back up to the room.  Then we had to wait for the doctor to call and the news was good!!  He got clear margins on the lesion and the lymph nodes were clear as well.  He took the 3 sentinel nodes and then 2 others becuase he thought they felt funnybut they too were negative under the microscope.  So I am thankful that this is the news.  They will do a more thorough study of the nodes and will find out for sure at our appointment on Tuesday. So far it is uncomfortable but not awful.  I have drugs if neccessary but don't like to take them so will see how it goes.  So we just got home and I am starving but supper smells wonderful.  Thank you all for your prayers and love.  I will keep you updated over the next few days on how I am doing. Hugs to all.  Love, Patsy
