Surgery Day

 Yesterday was my lumpectomy.  
We arrived at the clinic and were assigned a number. 

 Lucky 13! 

 I say that in all sincerity. 

 It is a very lucky number for me. 

 This was just before they called me back.

This was as they were taking me back to surgery.

The procedure took a little over an hour and a half. 

 It was outpatient. 

 I got home and didn't have too much pain.

  They gave me some pain meds but when I went to bed I just took Tylenol and Motrin.

That seems to be controlling the pain so far. 

 I feel more sore but not really much pain.

Hopefully that makes sense.

They sent me home in a tube top thing like we used to wear in the 70's, LOL.

It opens in the front with velcro.

I can't take it off until tomorrow afternoon.

I am anxious to see what the incisions look like.

The doctor told Chris the margins were clear.

They took 1 or 2 Lymph nodes, I am not sure.

Those get sent for pathology and I should have results in about a week.

Hoping those are negative.

I think then they send the tumor for the oncotype.

If that comes back with a good score then I might be able to skip chemo.

I just wanted to update you all and let you know I am doing ok.

So we are just lounging around here today.
