1. Today is Jon's birthday. I called and he was having a friend come over with pizza to celebrate his day. We are the same age for one day. He always tells me how much he loves me. We are close and I treasure that relationship.
2. I had surgery this morning and it took about an hour. The anesthesia was not fun and I had a hard time waking up from it but it was not as bad as previous surgeries. I was sick though, and needed a throw-up bag all evening. I was too sick to eat today so we saved the meal from Jaymie for tomorrow. I was still out of it when the doctor talked to Wayne so I didn't get to ask her questions about what went on. The reason I had the surgery was because I had a breast full of infection from several abscesses that formed about a year ago after a mammogram. 3 months ago they did a biopsy to check it and they were pretty nasty. Blood and pus came out continually for months so surgery was really the only option. There was a new procedure available. The rep was in surgery and showed the doctor what to do to apply cells from a powdered pig bladder in and on my incisions. They left the incisions open to drain with the bandage on it. I bled a lot, with blood penetrating 8 layers of gauze tonight. I called the nurse to see if that was normal. "Not really", she said and if it does not ease up tomorrow, I will need to go back in.
3. I called Mom to tell her I was OK. The girls called Wayne while I was asleep. Shon and Kee called too. I do not feel well. Hopefully I can sleep tonight.
4. The pain is not as bad as I was anticipating. Maybe I am just used to constant pain from other things, but I didn't take the prescription
or even Ibuprofen. I was hurting more before the surgery from the abscesses.
5. I called the nurse for a little more info and she said they could not fix everything and that I will have some deformity. UGH!
