silver_chipmunkI saw the surgeon today as planned, mashfanficchick and zer mother picked me up at 9:45 and we got there a little after 10, but the pathology reports weren't ready so I don't know any more info than I did. However, she took the drain out, which is a very good thing, and she took the bulky dressings off and just left the stristrips. I go back on June 8th, to her and the oncologist both. I have to get a referral to the oncologist from my PCP though, so I have to call about that Tuesday after the long weekend.
After I left the doctor's I called the Kid and Oldest Brother, and then we went to a diner for brunch. I had Boston creme pancakes. Very good.
Then they brought me home and I had a session by phone with my therapist. And after that I Skyped the FWiB.
At 7:15 I had my Al-anon meeting, which went well. And aside from that I mostly just rested. At 9 I called Oldest Brother again. and then I called the Kid but she didn't pick up. So I played some solitaire but finally I downloaded a T Kingfisher book, The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking to my Nook and started reading.
Then it was time to feed the pets and here I am.
The best thing about the drain being out is that it hurts less. I think that the end of the tube that was in me was sort of jabbing me inside sometimes. Now I have a much better range of pain free movement, and the movement that does cause pain is less painful.
Now I have a three day weekend to recover before I'm back at the branch Tuesday.
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. The Kid will take me to the doctor's on the 8th (mashfanficchick and zer mother can't.)
3. The drain is out.
4. My meetings and the people there.
5. Three day weekend.
6. Bed soon.
