    Done!
    The surgery went fine other than they could not find the sentinel node. So I will get the final pathology report on the breasts themselves tomorrow at my post op visit. I'm home - they kept me overnight because I have oxygen issues at night ever since the PE shower. But all that had gone well--they glued me because I do not do well with tape. However. The also left my IV at D5 (sugar water for the non medical) and I'm diabetic and could not figure out my high sugars! Then they wanted to keep me because they were too high. Finally convinced them that I can watch at home--LET ME OUT! They did. My kitties are happy to see me. I slept in my own bed and I'm OK. My one question: how did I have a bilateral mastectomy and gain 4 pounds?! **sigh**

    Anyway, thanks for the well wished and I'll try to get a picture up with the pink hair!

    hair
    Apparently the computer and I are not getting along this morning. The hair pix is up on my expressions page but is too large for the profile pix and I haven't got the brains to fix it this morning.

    And the tip about the shoelace (VickiSam?) for the drains has been wonderful.

    Gods answers prayers and you had a bunch of them going for you.
    I had bilateral at 3:30 pm, went home next day at 11:45 AM with expanders.
    I have gained 23 lbs. Have been cancer free for 30 months.
    I just turn everday over to God and ask his will be done in my life.
    Congrats

    had postop appt today
    No evidence of any disease other than the DCIS that was expected. So no more treatment-Yaaa!!! My drains are still in and will be removed Monday-not looking forward to that! But otherwise doing well. Not thrilled with the look of my chest but happy to be alive.
