I hope you get back to your regularly scheduled life soon!
so the lumpectomy or partial masectomy for precancerous ductal carcinoma in situ or early stage breast cancer- depending on who is talking to me, is over and I am home cruising on pain meds and off the bike for yet another 72 hours which means I will miss the second charity ride of my brief and scattered fall rides season. Damn! but at least I was able to get it over with sooner rather than later.
Not in much pain, so far the worst part is the inability to moisten my mouth and throat or produce saliva, due to the anesthetic and a wretched sore throat and deep husky croupy cough from the intubation, although why they had to do that for a 20 minute out patient surgery is beyond me. Fortunately the anasthaesologist knew what he was doing and how to find a vein so at least I don't have any new black and blue needle marks. Results will be in next Thursday so hopefully I will get my life back soon whoo hoo!!!
Marni,
Best of luck to you! Glad it all went well, but it sucks to be off for a ride :( As for the cough, cough scratch feeling, I was miserable coming out of my kidney stone surgery because of that. Short procedure, but I couldn't shake that feeling for about two days.
Hopefully this coming week is smooth sailing and you get good news soon!
