I Want My Mummy

Ok, so the mummy jokes are wearing thin, but my chest is bound up tightly and it’s starting to hurt like hell.

The procedure went fine, the doctor actually was able to remove both lumps rather than simply taking samples and she got them both through the same incision. This is great news - I don’t ever have to feel them again and wonder if these are new ones or the old ones. The actual time spent at the clinic was just fine - the procedure actually was less uncomfortable than getting a filling at the dentist. I will have the pathologist’s report early tomorrow, hopefully.

It took a good long time for the numbing stuff to wear off but now that it has, holy shit.  And the worst thing about it is that I can’t hold my daughter. She wants me to and I can’t, unless Jake hands her to me and I’m sitting down. We just tried a team approach to story time/bed time, where I held Bridget on my lap and Jake knelt by us and held the book (so I wouldn’t have to use my right arm) but I read to her. It worked ok for a bit but then she wanted to climb on me so I had to tag out. That about killed me - walking out of her room as she cried for me.

Tomorrow, Jake has to go out of town. SXSW is one of his biggest events of the year and it would take something bigger than this for me to ask him to stay home. Jake’s lovely sister is coming over during the day to do my heavy lifting during the day, and then my parents will come in the late afternoon to take on dinner and bath/bedtime lifting for me. Hopefully Saturday I’ll be ok to pick her up again.

Sorry that’s all the update I have. I’m sure I’ll have more to say tomorrow when I’m not in so much pain. Very soon I’ll pop a narcotic and head to bed.
