Post biopsy day

I was unable to post yesterday because I was so exhausted and out of it after surgery. Everything went well and it was an overall easy day. A nurse brought Sam and I back to a pre-op room and they had me change into a hospital gown. I had to give a urine sample and some more blood. I got a total of 4 bracelets for identification and to list my allergy, I got another new pair of hospital socks as well! We had to wait a while before I was brought back so Sam and I watched some TV. I was so hungry I wasn't really able to feel too nervous. We met the Anesthesiologist, anesthesia assistant, OR nurse and the doctor performing the surgery. I think it was nice for Sam to be able to meet the doctor and ask some questions before I was taken away.

Once in the OR I moved on to an operating table and then all of a sudden I was waking up in post-op. It was so nice not having to be awake during this procedure like I was for all the rest. The doctor came by and said everything went great and they didn't end up having to go in as deep as they thought. Sam came back and helped me get dressed. He signed some paperwork and got my post-op care instructions. I was feeling pretty dizzy and weird so Sam brought me right home and then he went to pick up my meds and some ice cream and gelato. My throat is so sore from the breathing tube it feels like I have strep.

Sam has been taking such good care of me and I am so grateful to have such an incredible man. Any time I need anything he is right there. He has been cooking, cleaning, taking care of Jude and doing laundry all morning. My dad and Amber will be here later and it will be a huge help. I can't wait to see them!

Peace. Love. Fuck cancer
