Surgery #4 - Done!

Boy, am I happy to be alive today. I feel drastically better! I am so happy to have that surgery over and done with and out of the fog/pain from yesterday.  The surgery lasted 3 hours, my surgeon said everything went very well and I didn't get drains! 🙌 About an hour after surgery, I started shaking uncontrollably. The nurses brought me a ton of warm blankets but that didn't help. Then, they brought me a vacuum cleaner looking machine with a hose that blew hot air under the blankets. That didn't work either. Finally, my nurse decided to try a stronger pain medicine via my IV and within 30-45 seconds of administering it, the shaking subsided. She said the level 6, I gave on the pain scale (1-10) was just a little off. 😂
I can shower this evening and don't have to see my doctor for post-op until the 14th. I'm going to have to get VERY creative with my wardrobe. The sexy white surgical bra and compression garment I have to wear for 6 weeks, will make it challenging. Especially, now that it's 80 degrees F consistently. Between that and the wigs/hats, I should be nice and toasty..... lol

Thank you for checking on me and sending so many prayers, good vibes and love my way! I am so grateful. 💓

This guy has shown me the true meaning of "in sickness and in health".  Since diagnosis, he has managed to balance it all and take care of me, in ways I didn't even know I needed. He keeps me laughing even when I feel like my stitches are going to bust open. I must have done something right, to end up with a man like him. 💜
