HOME....YEAH
Hi everyone! I have been home for about a week now. All went well except the surgeon decided not to do a VATS. He wanted to remove 6 of the mediastinum lymph nodes to be sure that none were affected. So I do have a rather large incision I had not planned on but he knew I wanted to be agressive in treatment. Can't complain! Seems I have more pain where the chest tubes were (2 in my side) than the incision, but that could be due to cut nerves. Anyway, just being careful not to overdue. I am healing well. Thank you all for your support and prayers.....I had such a peace of mind when I went into OR. God bless each of you! HUGS

I am glad you have
that behind you. Take care and give yourself lots of time to heal.

It's a process!
Hi Kimmiann, Thanks for your thoughts. This is definitely a process but each and everyday seems to be alittle more better. Still pain, but not as intensive etc etc. I wish the weather here in NE Ohio would be better so that I could walk outside more. But I opt to walk inside and do easy stretches. Sometimes I do go to the grocery store with friends for a change of scenery! God bless us all Cheryl
