I'm home!

My surgery went well yesterday. It took less than 3 hours. (supposed to be 4 hours) My lymph nodes were clear. I remember waking up in a recovery room with pain. I was transferred to my room around 12:30pm. My mind was clear enough and I was able to talk to my mom and friends who stayed with her. I was very relieved. They looked relieved, too.

I was in a lot of pain. They hooked up the machine that I can pump morphine as I need. Thank God, it helped. My incision is covered with wraps that has cute flowery prints. I wore a pair of socks with smiley face :) I thought those dressing they gave me was so cute and cheerful. Right now I have small plastic drainage tubes to drain fluids. It's connected to a small plastic bulb. I need to measure the amount of fluid everyday until the tubes are removed.

My doctors and nursing staff were very very nice. They work as a team and I'm very happy with them. I thank all of you for thinking of me and praying for me for this day. I thank you for being part of my life. I thank God for being with me.
