The surgery went well yesterday. The nurses were nice, the IV was placed on the first try, and almost everyone had a sense of humor. I went to sleep gazing up at my cute anesthesiologist and then I woke up breathing in cold, crisp oxygen about an hour later. Dr. Hamilton removed three lymph nodes, with the largest being the size of a hazelnut... which is big for a lymph node, but nothing compared to the ping-pong ball sized one they pulled out of my neck last year. I believe we get results today or tomorrow.
I was in an anesthetic/pain med stupor ( ie : high as a kite) most of the evening. Once I got into bed it was strange dreams and drenching night sweats, but no fever.
Other than a bit of discomfort and some swelling, I'm feeling pretty darn good today.
I believe it's time to sit outside PT's, sipping hot coffee and enjoying what seems to be an unseasonably warm day.
Wish I'd been reading again sooner. Just so you know, though, I'm convinced that warm day was there just for you. :-)
