I'm home tonight and feeling pretty good. The surgery only took an hour, but it took all day to try to get over the effects of the anesthesia. Man, I love that stuff when it's needed during surgery, but when I'm done with it, I want it to leave me alone quicker! I haven't heard how many more nodes he took and we won't hear until Tuesday or Wednesday what they find in them. I have another drain that I have to contend with for about a week. I was told I can't shower until after I see the surgeon again on Thursday. What?! I'm not sure why that is different this time. My incisions from the last surgery are much more extensive than this, and I showered two days later. Not being able to wash my hair will be the hardest for me. Maybe I should just shave it off now?!
Mat's parents came and spent the day with the kids. Before we left this morning, Mat and Grandpa gave me a blessing which I am so grateful for. Surgery is never easy, even if it is "minor" like mine today. There are no idle moments when they are here. When the baby sleeps, they clean! Grandpa even cleaned some of our windows. Amazing! Do you know how long it has been since we cleaned our windows?? Most of you know that our windows on the front and back of the house are huge, so it's a job, and we don't get to it very often. : ) Thank you for all your help today! We love you!
We're having a "movie night" tonight, Mat even bought popcorn! They've started without me, so I'm not sure what they are watching. I had better go up and see what it is. Thanks for your prayers and fasting on our behalf! We are grateful for the strength we feel from all of you!
