Sorry i havent updated...ended up staying night at hospital due to really bad nausea from anasthesia. I got home and been sleeping most of the time too..surgery went well. Did lumpectomy and took 10 nodes. Just been relaxing and sleeping. I have this nasty drain in me for a week then it comes out. What a pain in the butt, huh?
Oh, good part was the anasthesiologist, whew was he good lookin!! lol

    Glad you're home
    It's so much easier to relax & sleep at home. When I had my bilateral mastectomy I said the drains were the worst part...I hated them. It's all a pain in the butt, but it will be behind you faster then you think. Take it easy & try to let others take care of you.

    Just imagine how rich he was also. Rich, smart, & good-looking...some guys have it all!!!

    Hang Tough,

    Thanks for the update! I wasn't able to get online much this weekend, so I didn't see your post until today.

    Glad the surgery went well, although the nausea is never fun, is it! I hope you're able to get your drains out soon and that your recovery goes along smoothly.

    Take care,
    Cindy

    Make sure to rest and take
    Make sure to rest and take your time recovering. I thought i felt great, and then i did too much and it really knocked me out. There are some good shows on TV so veg out. I hated the drains too. Hope you have a fast recovery. Take care
