My wife had her lumpectomy this morning. We had to be at the hospital by 6:00, and I think we were ten or fifteen minutes early. She was given a room in pre-op. After some waiting, they sent her to radiology to have some type of dye injected into the lymph nodes. I asked if she was going to glow in the dark. That would be an interesting side job, being a living night light to a child in a wealthy family, don’t you think?
Shortly after she got back, the anesthesiologist came in, went over some things, and they wheeled her out. I went down to the waiting room and hung out with my in-laws. There was one scary moment, and it was only a moment, when I got a call from the operating room. They were simply calling to let me know things were going well. Once I realized there wasn’t a problem, I appreciated the update.
The surgeon removed the tumor and the three lymph nodes closest to it. The whole thing took a little over an hour an a half. We were home by 2:00. My wife is doing well, and so far hasn’t experienced much pain. They told her that will change tomorrow.
My wife and I would like to thank everyone for their concern, well-wishes, thoughts, and prayers.
I am happy to hear things went smoothly and as expected. Here is to your wife recovering fully without a hitch.
Thank you very much.
Glad to hear it went well. Will be praying for you.
Thank you. Much appreciated.
I wish her the best and hope the recovery is full and quick and wish you both the best.
Thank you very much.
Speedy & full recovery wishes!
Thank you.
Best wishes Keith to you both.
Thank you, sir.
Good to hear that it went well! I hope she gets through the next few days as well as possible.
Thanks. She’s doing fine and complaining about everyone waiting on her. She isn’t supposed to lift anything for a couple of weeks, which is going to be a challenge.
Not lifting anything for a couple of weeks–that is going to be a challenge. It is so easy to do, especially once the initial round of pain goes away. You want something, you reach over and lift it!
Right you are. The pain blockers they gave her starting wearing off last night, so she’s getting a new appreciation of not lifting.
Glad to hear it went well. I hope recovery is swift.
Thank you.
Glad to hear the procedure went well! Prayers for a speedy recovery!
Thank you.
