Surgery was smooth sailing

Went to the hospital for 10 am, was in the operating room just after 12 pm, and was in recovery at 2 pm, and was out of the hospital at 4 pm. I have an incision on my neck, one near my collar bone, and one on my original mastectomy incision. They are covered with gauze pads until tomorrow so I can't see how big they are. They made me groggy enough in surgery that I fell asleep for a while and then woke up to ask for more pain medication and groggy stuff when they were placing the port in place. They were having to do some cutting and pushing and manipulating. Other than that I am on some Tylenol 3 as required and feeling fine. My neck and shoulder are stiff but that is it for discomfort.

One of my most wonderful and dedicated doctors called me tonight at 6:40 pm on Friday to report about my blood work. My potasium is a little low, my calcium is a little high but neither one is an immediate concern. The special blood clotting/bleeding test results are not back yet. We will follow up with my oncologist on Tuesday to see if I require any less/more of suppliments that I am taking.

Have a nice weekend.
