You guys all rule. Thank you for all the support. Still a bit down for the count. The actual pain from incisions and such aren't that bad, I haven't needed the really good drugs all day, just Advil. The drains are gross, but manageable. If I weren't feeling nauseous and bloated I'd actually be feeling pretty awesome. But I am. This would be the part you don't anticipate, but I'm told it is quite normal and my tummy will return to normal soon enough. Since I'd prefer not to end up puking at 2 am again tonight, let's hope that's true. I don't think I'll feel normal until the drains come out, so this is my next milestone. Drains out. And yeah, the part where the cancer has been cut out is a definite sigh of relief. I meet with the oncologist on the 13th to discuss the next phase of attack, though I probably won't start chemo for another three weeks while my now boobless chest heals. Haven't had any sort of real reaction to the lack of boobage so far. It was there, now it's not. My brain has yet to register this as important in any way.
Here's to a puke free night! (if I don't respond much to comments in the next little while, it's not 'cause I don't love you and hearing from you)
