Out of Surgery

Sue got out of surgery around 4:15pm - about 20 minutes quicker than Dr. Nathan originally thought. He said everything went great - both implants were put in and the port taken out. We got to see her in recovery around 5pm. She was awake, NOT throwing up and in a lot of pain. The pain was isolated on the right side just as Dr. Nathan said. The nurse in recovery - Wendy - gave her some pain meds and she seemed to feel better. She made it up to her room around 6pm and got something to eat. Currently she's laying in bed on the edge of sleep with a half-eaten chicken salad sandwich on her plate. The meds are kicking in!!

More later ... Scott.

New Boobs, New Date

Well I don't have to wait quite as long for surgery. After a call from the doctor's office on Thursday, my procedure was changed from Thursday to Wednesday afternoon. Trying to get a lot done this weekend in anticipation of being down for a few days.

I'll have Scott send an update after surgery.

Counting Down!

In a little more than a week, I'll have new boobs!

I've visited the plastic surgeon and oncologist and have a clean bill from both of them. Paperwork is filled out and I'm pre-registered at the surgery center. Now I just wait...I've been patient for so long and I'm looking forward to being normal again.
