*~*Surgery Update~*~

For those who don't know, for the past few weeks I have been having some health issues concerning my left breast.  You can read up on things HERE and HERE.

I had my surgery yesterday and it was a pretty anxious experience.  I cried during the prepping, I cried when they rolled me into the operating room, and I cried after it was all over with and woke up.  Yes...I'm such a cry baby...lol.  Up until yesterday, I've never had to have any major surgery before so all if it was pretty overwhelming and pretty scary to take in.  I think they even put "crying alot" on my chart...LOL.

When I balled my eyes out after it was over with (I was still groggy) the nurses were so concerned that I was in pain.  They got a kick when I told them, "No...I'm not crying cause I'm hurting.  I'm crying cause I don't know where I am."  The staff kept telling me, "come on...you can do this.  You've had 2 kids before.  This is nothing compared to child birth."  And they were right.  As soon as that anesthetic kicked in, I was out like a light.

My breast doctor was great though.  He came in before I was due to go the operating room and assured me that everything was going to be fine.  His words bought me comfort.  The nurses and staff over there were also so very supportive and wonderful.

After the surgery, the doc came in to talk to Husband Man (since I was in recovery).  He told Husband Man that what he found didn't look like your normal typical abscess and the lump he found did not look like your normal typical cancerous lump.  What this all means, I do not know...lol.

He said that he took a big triangle shaped chunk of the tissue and sent it to the lab.

So...now we play the waiting game for the results.

There is a glimmer of hope in this because the doc did say that it doesn't look like your normal malignant lump.  But again, it all depends on the result of the test.

Now, I'm stuck in bed...between trips to the physical therapist to get my incision packing cleaned and repacked...just trying recuperate.

I sure do miss cooking though!  And I can't wait to get back to that kitchen and make some delicious food to share with y'all.  Poor Husband Man has been making the easy meals...Hamburger Helper, Frozen Ravioli, Sandwiches.  I'm sure he's ready for me to get back in there and make some yummy food ;)

Anyway, just another little update for y'all.  We get the results either tomorrow or Monday...so please keep your fingers crossed that everything turns out well ;)

Till Next Time...
