We are here at MD Anderson having just settled into our room. Kimberly's surgery went smoothly with nothing unexpected. We got here at 6 and the surgery started at 7:30. It took a little over 2 hours and I spoke with the surgeon afterward. Kimberly had a partial radical masectomy with level I & II lymph nodes removed on the left side and a normal masectomy on the right side. The only thing noted was a swollen lymph node that has been sent for pathology tests.
We had quite the crowd in the recovery room and then in our room. It was great to see our family and a few friends. Family not families. :)
K was on some high dollar drugs and we had a lot of good laughs talking with her. She was making up words and reversing order. Talking about how she is so lucid because Frank (dog) has told her about his POW days. Oh and how I "bomb-dived" one of her birthdays. And how she is glad I don't work in an office. Someone who was here please post more!
If K is up to it we will go home tomorrow. 3 weeks of recuperation next. We are so very happy everything went as planned and we can continue on the path to recovery.
YAY!!!!!!
