I had surgery on Friday and it all went well, no cancer was detected! Now its time to heal. I'm having a hard time going to sleep and getting comfortable so hopefully this post will relax me enough for bed.
The first procedure that was done was the sentinal node injections. This is what the cream was for! It was a numbing cream to numb your nipples since I would be injected there. Ouch! I had 6 injections in each nipple of a blue radioactive liquid to identify the lymphnode to biopsy. The needles didn't hurt because I was numb but the liquid was really painful. I took it in stride since that was going to be the less painful part of this procedure.
After the surgery I was sore which was expected and I felt a lot of pressure. I didn't realize that adjusting the bed would relieve a lot of that. (Blonde moment) I had morphine that I could press to administer every 15 minutes I believe. I also had a catheter which I didn't mind at all. There was no way I could get up to go potty!
Saturday didn't go as well but that is for next post since I am finally ready to relax!
