Mostly Good News, Some Bad News

March 7th, 2008

Mostly Good News: lump was benign.

Some Bad News: type of benign lump might require surgery to make sure that all the tissue was out.

I don’t have a lot of details yet since I haven’t talked to my doctor and obviously won’t until next week. My tiny bit of research tells me I might not need surgery after all, that it might be the ultra conservative way to go but perhaps not necessary. I’ll discuss it with my doctor before making any decisions of course. I want to be thorough but I don’t want another surgery if I don’t really need it.

As for today, I’m feeling  much better. Jake’s sister came over today to help me with Bridget and then my parents came over and we had dinner and they did bath and bed time with Bridget. I should be good tomorrow - no more risk of injuring my incision as long as I take it easy and don’t go lifting her over my head or anything.  Too bad though, I was kind of looking forward to another night of narcotics-induced sleep.

    I’m glad it isn’t anything to really worry about. Maybe if they have to take more out, you’ll have a better narcotics induced sleep.
