All’s Well
I’m home. I’ve actually been home for a while, but I ate dinner and promptly passed out on the couch. Strangely I’m not in nearly the pain I was in after the biopsy. So I am exhausted and while I planned to take a narcotic before bed, I’m debating the need to do that.
The day was fine, although annoying. They gave me a Xanax along with the anti-nausea medication then I had to sit around and wait for a good long while. I can honestly say that I don’t know why people abuse that particular drug because all I wanted to do was sleep. I couldn’t have functioned while taking it. Anyway, the anesthesia was fine. I was very relaxed due to the Xanax and then he popped something into my IV, and the next thing I knew it was all over. I do find it funny that my surgeon came to me before the operation and signed my right breast. You know, just in case they got in and forgot which one they were working on. I was also asked no less than four times my name, DOB and what I was there to have done. All in the name of safety I suppose.
So tomorrow I get the final pathology report but no one expects to find anything different than what has already been discovered, but it’s just to be safe. And then the whole thing will be be behind me. At least most of it. I still have to deal with the aftermath of not being able to lift Bridget. I think that’s going to be hardest on me since this time around, I don’t feel as much pain as before. I’ll have to remember not to do things since the pain isn’t there to remind me.
Thanks for all your support, prayers and well wishes. I don’t know what I’d do without you all.

I’m glad you’re home and mostly pain-free. I was sending good thoughts your way yesterday.
When I had my hysterectomy, my right ovary was to remain (since the problem was with lefty)for horomone production. I had to sign my own fat roll with a Sharpie over my left ovary. It’s a great photo but not one that I share with anyone!
Meant to comment yesterday, but I saw something sparkly. I’m an asshole. But I’m really glad that you’re doing ok. And hopefully this whole ordeal is behind you.
I’m one of those weird people that is ok with surgery, usually. I have my moments of freak out, don’t get me wrong. I was totally calm about the c-section until like 10 minutes before. Then I had to get ativan, because I started to hyperventilate.
Hope you get better soon.
So glad to know you’re home and the pain isn’t too bad. Hopefully you’ll heal quickly too. Oh, and we want pictures of the signed boob! Just kidding. Rest up and get better.
I’m really hoping you are able to heal quickly from this and that it’ll be a REALLY long time before anyone has to sign you boobs again. Unless he’s really, really HOT.
Hope you are feeling much better… enjoy the weekend!
So glad everything went well and you were able to get some brief rest and relief I can’t believe you can’t lift Bridget, that seems impossible to ignore a toddler.
Whenyou are ready, I would like to sign the other boob.
