Red, if you can, take a scone or something tasty to eat after the surgery! I had two outpatient surgeries and the things they offer you at the hospital are unappetizing (the saddest muffin I've ever seen, crackers...). Best of luck!

I'm back! It went really well. I don't remember the surgery at all, even on just a sedative and local anesthetic. I have no pain yet. I have an ice pack and am taking Vicodine. Everything went completely smoothly. Thanks pll for all the advice. I had 4 heated blankets on me, which I wouldn't have asked for if not for your suggestion. I was freezing.
Post Op, they gave me water, then toast with PB, and coffee, and it tasted so good to me. It was wheat Wonder Bread, which I haven't had in probably 25 years, so I think I was just so ready for food, anything would have been delicious. Or, I must love Wonder Bread. I didn't have any nausea or dizziness, either.
When I asked the surgeon if it would look okay, she, in humble way, said she was really good, and I wouldn't be able to tell anything had been done. The nurses also said she was great (when she wasn't there), and my breast would be a work of art.
Time for more pain meds. Thank you all so much for the moral support. It was much easier because of you.'02 Eddy Merckx Fuga, Selle An Atomica

So good to hear from you, Red. I'm relieved it went well and that the surgery part is over. I'm praying for good news.
