Just a quick update to let you all know how things are going here. I am home from the hospital and feeling tired to say the least. Rich was going to try to post an update last night but he was too bushed. Monday was a long day for all of us! The surgery went as well as can be expected, and the doctor was pleased with everything. I slept alot during the day and alot at night. The anesthetic made my stomach upset though and I threw up my supper. They told me if I throw up my breakfast this morning I would have to stay an extra night. So I was kind of thinking that would be a good idea, but my breakfast stayed down and home I went. Apparently 95% of mastectomy patients go home the next day, some even the same day. Home care nursing will start tomorrow, so that makes me feel a bit better.
Well Rich is off with kids on a bike ride and mom is coming over to help me out. I think I am going to lie down for a bit. Thank you all for your concern, phone calls and prayers. It makes a tough time a lot easier.
So glad to know that you are doing ok and your surgery went well. I hope you can get lots of rest in the next couple of weeks. We're praying that your recovery from this surgery goes smoothly.

Nadine, although the abrupt shift from surgical patient to discharged patient is startling, it must be comforting to know that you are among the "typical" 95%. Our prayer for you is that the healing process is also unremarkable in that it will proceed smoothly without surprises or setbacks. Rest, recover and know that you are in the prayers of many who love you.
