Surgery Success!

Surgery went really well and I have experienced no pain whatsoever. I have only taken motrin (even in the hospital) and am now just taking the motrin to reduce swelling and inflammation, rather than for pain. I am amazed at how great I feel now and how in 3 days I have went from looking 4 months pregnant, back to my normal self; YEAH!!!

The tumor was a little over 4 inches in diameter and now is believed to be a cyst of some sort. A pathologist was called into the OR as it was filled with this "gross, yucky honey dijon mustard sunstance" as my doctor put it. They are running test on it now to make sure it is not cancerous. The pathologist did not feel upon initial observation that it was.

I would have been home in less than 24 hours, but my bladder/kidneys took some time to wake up, so I was released later on Tuesday afternoon.

I have been blessed by all your prayers, your good thoughts, phone calls, visits, flowers and meals. It has made the process go so smooth and has been a big help to me and my family. I am touched by your love and support! Thank you so much!
