Newest Surgery

Had my surgery yesterday.  (Happy Thanksgiving btw!)  I don’t know why but I was actually borderline scared while waiting to be rolled into surgery.  For the last 3 I had no problem...I was excited and anxious in a good way.  But this time I was nervous and couldn’t really figure out the why of it.  I had my Dad and Mom pray with me to help me feel better which of course it did some.   When Dr.Dinick finally came to see if I was ready I felt even better.  He is always so sure of himself and that makes me feel more secure about the whole process.  

I really don’t remember anything after they started rolling me into the surgery room.  Actually, I don’t even remember the surgery room.  I must have passed out from the sleepy stuff really fast because next thing I knew I was awake and in pain.  Only half of my right breast was cut open this time.   It looks like he fixed all the problems but of course everything is pinched together and tight so it still doesn’t look the same as the left one yet.  Once it heals and relaxes some it will though and I feel confident that this should be it.  (Or at least I pray that this is it!)

I can move around ok for awhile and then I get really sore.  I am not taking any pain meds because I really don’t like how zonked out the heavy drugs make me feel...so I am just toughing it out...which isn’t that bad at all.  It hurts, but I have certainly had worse.  

I have 10 more days of no work still which makes me really happy.  I think that should be plenty of time to heal up.  I won’t be able to lift more than 10 pounds for about 4 weeks so I have a doctors note that I will take back to work with me to give to my boss.  Make sure everything is in order of course so they can’t say no to anything.  Here is hoping that I heal up quickly though...and that I am back to normal working order.  :)
