Yesterday was a very long day for both Freddy and I. Woke up at 5 am anxiously awaiting my operation. At 12 noon, Freddy dropped me off at the hospital and headed over to MD Anderson for a follow up shot to help build his white blood cells. He made it back just in time to give me a kiss. Lucky Me! (he he) I Love Him So Much!
Dr.Pope came in to the pre-op room so that he could make his marks on me. He was sitting there looking at my breast, cocks his head to one side, pauses then cocks his head to the other side. It felt funny but I could tell how important it was for him to get it right. He then asked if I was ready, I said,"Lets go doc". Actually I said, " Yes, I am so ready. Thank You Dr. Pope for expediting this so fast. I really appreciate it. You just don't know, yadda yadda yadda and so on". He knowingly smiled at me. Dr. Pope is a very humble and caring man. I'm blessed that he is my Plastic Surgeon.
Three and a half hours later, I woke up. I was amazed at how much pain I was in. When I had the mastectomy Dr.Pope put lidocaine tubes in me so there was very little pain. This time he didn't so I had to deal with pain.The nurses were so good. They gave me everything I needed and discharged me knowing I just wanted to get home. When we got home, Freddy made me sit and stay on the couch. He took care of me all night.
Last night I woke up every hour as usual but I felt pretty good. Got up this morning at 4 and had the best cup of coffee. Damn it was good! I feel like a near million bucks. What's that, 999,999.95 ? That's compared to what I have been feeling like. Anyway, I'll be able to sleep with Freddy soon and give him a hug when I feel like it. WooHoo!!! I CAN'T WAIT
