Doing ok...

Thanks for checking in and all the great messages. I am doing fine...just tired and sore but nothing too bad....as long as I don't use my right arm I feel good...the problem is I am right handed...UGH!

Yesterday was certainly a new experience...I have always kind of wondered what goes on in the operating room...not necessarily the way I wanted to find out but it really was ok. I'll write more about that when I get my head cleared...the pain pills were making me sick to my stomach so today I am just using the Ativan which can help with the nausea.

You should have seen the look on the nurses face when Bret said "I don't think we have gotten our money's worth today", she cracked up and said that was the first time she had ever heard that. It was Pat, who was my wonderful nurse on the day that I got my port put in so it was nice to catch up with her...she's an angel.

Hopefully we will have the pathology report back tomorrow...it will be good to get that final report but Dr. K was VERY optimistic once he looked at what he took out...in a way I wish that I would have asked to see it but I didn't....

We are right in the middle of a big winter storm...schools are closed today from the snow last night...now we are supposed to get a pretty heavy ice storm and then more snow on top of that. Tyler will be abl to try out his new snow blower...Heather kept Jillian with them last night so I am sure she is having a blast.

More later....love to all!

Hooray. So glad to hear you're "doing OK".... Ativan is what I always refer to as JD's chill pill.... He likes that one pretty well! :) Just take it easy and let yourself heal. Nice that the worry isn't quite like it was before. I'll be anxiously checking your site tomorrow to see when they call you with the results.... Take care my good friend! Stay warm.... We've had snow falling all afternoon - so pretty - not sure how much will accumulate.... They got to go and stay in school for the whole day today.... We'll see what tonight/tomorrow brings.... Love yoU! Sue

Glad to hear that you are doing so well today! Sounds like the results should be good tomorrow....praying for you! I too am recovering from the "procedure" that i told you about at our dinner in December. It was done this morning, took 20 min and the worst part was waking up and still being drugged! Sounds like we both had great results...yours much more important than mine:) Hope to see you soon.

Hi Jan - hope you are snuggled nice and warm at home..... probably with the kiddos there. We got snow last night - so JD is home. Jack has SWAT training at 3:00 - so he's home with JD.... The county roads were really tough this morning. Took me twice as long to get in here.... Oh well - it's beautiful out there! I think we'll need a fire in the fireplace when I get home... I love them - but haven't had many this year for some (unknown) reason!!! Well, I'm sure I'll check back in to see if you hear any results today. Who knows, the weather might delay that for you! Love you! Sue
