Post-Op Notes

They tell me the surgery went well, but I don't remember any of it, only the before and after. The before wasn't fun - as posted previously, I had a mammogram and a needle inserted at the mark. I thought I might be in trouble when they took a plastic Dixie cup and taped it over the needle. That's some high-tech medical procedure right there. First class.

Luckily, that was as low-tech as it got. All of the nurses and the Doctors were great, excluding one, which I snapped at when he set the blood pressure monitor and paper work on my left breast (post surgery) and asked what I'd come in for. "A lumpectomy on my left breast, so if you could remove all that stuff you just set on it, I'd greatly appreciate it." Sigh. Other than that, no complaints.

I feel pretty good today, at least, I'm not in pain. I just tried to go for a walk, got about 2 houses away from ours and realized it was a bad idea, so back inside to the boring couch for me.

I'll call tomorrow to schedule my follow up appointment, and to pester them for the results of the pathology, which hopefully will be available by Friday. Fingers crossed that the margins are good!

And look - I got my very own QR code! From Dixie cup to high-tech, so fancy.
