Port Surgery

We got a call about 15 minutes before we were planning to leave for surgery asking if we could go ahead and come early. I am glad the doctor and crew were eager to get started, that made half of us! This is a short surgery. I had a power port put in. I was given a card to carry and bonus** a purple bracelet! Whoo hoo!
My wonderful surgeon asked about the pet scan results, which I told him I just did it yesterday and I didn't know anything. He said he would check into that. He did and found out that there was only one area of concern. I have a (some?) fibroid tumors in my uterus. We will find out more tomorrow with the oncologist.
I can't raise my hand for a whole week and I will go back to see the surgeon next Tuesday. I came home and laid propped up in bed and dozed with the dog by my side. Ken fed me and then went off to work. I am very sore and it hurts to cough. I get to take the bandage off tomorrow and see what it looks like. Maybe it will be picture worthy!
Ken is home, I am downstairs now, and dinner is about ready. Thank you for all the prayers and good wishes. We are going to find out the details of the plan tomorrow. Now we are talking!
