And we're done!

Hi all,

Today is Saturday, and I am home at my mom's recovering. The surgery was a bit of roulette wheel starting with the push back 6 hours on Thursday to getting called in 4 hours early, rush there get prepped only to have it explained to me that the patient in front of me was finally approved by her insurance company which they had been working on all day and that the pathology team was in the o r with her as well as the surgeon, the clinical team, and other departments. There was a lot of chatter as the entire surgical team felt bad that I came when called and they were going to have to delay me again. I said it was only logical to have the other patient go first as other depts were waiting and she needed to know quickly if there was node involvement. Some of the residents and doctors were appreciative and told me that it was a selfless act, I explained that it was selfish as I could wait til pigs fly for a surgery! ha ha ha The result; my surgery was delayed to 7 PM.

The surgery went well and I did very well, so they sent home 4 hours later. Something, huh? Well I did remember this morning that as I checked in there were having a time trying to find beds for patients so it was better for me to be home. I did more rest and nobody had to come get me early. I am resting and taking it easy, enjoying the movies.

Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts, I really appreciate all of them!

Hugs, Deb
