the_rckI'm a lot more awake and coherent than I expected to be at this point. We got home a bit after 4:00. The compression top they gave me itches like hell, but I'm stuck with it until Sunday evening (which is also when I'm allowed to wash).
A lot of the surgery preparation hurt more than I expected it would, unfortunately. I think I actually yelled when the anesthetic came through IV right before surgery. I don't remember that from gall bladder surgery.
They took three lymph nodes. We'll hear about the pathology report on those some time next week. I have my fingers crossed that they'll come back clean. I'd really rather not have to do chemo.
We haven't managed to reach my father or my aunt and uncle. We left messages, but who knows?
I can currently mostly use both hands. My right hand hurts a lot because that's where they put the IV, so my left hand is more useful at present even though I'm supposed to be exceedingly careful what I do with it.
I'm hungry now, but I waited longer than I should have. It's late to eat much of anything, and I'm having trouble swallowing anything that's even sort of dry, so I don't think bread is a good option just now. I'm not really sure what would be a good idea. Of course, I could stay up later than normal and eat something now. Except that I'm pretty darned tired.
