It's All About Me

Home

All went according to plan today. Surgery started promptly at 9:30 a.m. and I was home by 3:30 p.m.

Dr. Engel indicated that the surgery went well and the tumour was localized, which is good news. He didn't have to take all of the lymph nodes. I will get more details on everything when I meet with him again in 2 weeks. Date yet to be set.

When I woke up from the anaesthetic I had an oxygen mask on my face, and all I kept repeating was Pookie. The poor nurse. In my haze, it suddenly dawned on me that she had no idea who Pookie was and that I wanted to see my husband. They let Pookie come into the recovery room, which is not normally done. I guess I was in a state.

At least I wasn't asking for Steven Tyler....THAT would have really thrown everyone.

Thanks again for everyone's well wishes.

Love CJ
