Long day yesterday, surgery went a little longer than anticipated -- as my Surgeon informed my husband and myself -- that my mass (yes, that is how he described it) broke off in little
pieces - so he had to be extra careful to make sure the beast, and its roots then he cauterised each area. Ouch!

I am resting now -- I am a little uncomfortable, but my pain is manageable. Now we wait until January 30th for path results.

Thank you Sisters in PINK for being with me -- your gentle hugs, love and prayers mean the
world to me.

Appletini .. anyone?

    I will have an appletini too! :)
    Sounds like a long day. Why will it take so long for the path results VickiSam? That's a long time to wait.


    You rest, let everyone pamper you and take any pain meds that you need.

    Best Wishes for a Good Recovery
    Hi Vicki,

    I had a tumor that they could only scrape off in pieces once too. We do live through these awful procedures. I am hoping so very much that your tumor will be benign as he had thought.

    You have had your share of these awful diagnoses and you deserve a free pass on this one.

    Wishing you a good and uneventful recovery. Take it easy, won't you?

    Best,

    Doris

    Hey Vicki! I was just posting about you, wondering how everything went with surgery. Although it took longer than anticipated, I'm glad is now over. Please keep resting. Let others pamper you. And let us know what you find out from your Dr.

    We'll continue with the prayers.

    Hugs

    It sucks being a professional patient. Although my nurses liked it cuz they didnt have to tell me what to do or explain everything to me...thats when you know youve done this way too many times!! LOL!
    Well get rested up and take care of your self!

    Yes, please keep us posted.
    Yes, please keep us posted. The Pink Bus is with you getting lots of mileage this week. You know my prayers have been centered on you.

    And, OT, you probably missed this question I tucked into another post, but who are you rooting for in the SB??? I have to go with the Giants because Eli is a hometown boy. I know you are a football fanatic ;-)
