Another Surgery

I am home once again. Surgery this morning to remove all the lymph nodes under the left arm. My arm feels like all the blood has been drained out of it. I am more tired after this surgery than I was after the last two.
Bonus! I came home with a drain that I get to keep for the whole week, plus a hospital bra! Life keeps getting better. Ken is so excited about draining the fluid!
My doctor is wonderful and so are the same day surgical girls out at Unity. They have been so good to me. They just didn't know I was going to be a repeat customer!
They intubated me again, so the cough persists.
I feel good, of course, we aren't counting my arm, I am cold, the cough, the drain and the fact that my girls are squashed!
Results of the lymph nodes should be back possibly Friday or Monday. We are hopeful they won't find anymore with cancer.
I was in a Sister Study designed to study the sisters of women with cancer based on my sister who had a different kind of cancer 4 1/2 years ago. I called yesterday to drop out. Bummer!
The next step is to heal and wait on the oncology appointment. It can't happen fast enough for me.
I am so blessed to have the good care, loving family, and caring friends. Thank you for everything, everybody.
