Last Friday I had an in/out patient minor surgery. It was a lumpectomy on my left breast. This is actually my second one. The first one I had when I was preggers with Lauren. Couple of weeks ago I had a breast biopsy that came back negative. However, recent studies show that the kind of tissue found has a strong link to "non-invasive" breast cancer. So the pathologist decided to be uber cautious and therefor recommended I get the tissue removed.My Dr./surgeon is a riot and I can honestly say THE best physician I've ever encountered. She is about 4' 5" and full of unstoppable energy and a no holds bar attitude. Anyway, surgery went fine and I'm recovering with the help of percaset and tylenol.
I have been resting a lot and for someone who doesn't get much sleep, its been nice to get a lot of sleep lately. Its also been nice to have a husband take care of me during this time. Yeah, I know, here I go again with gushy newlywed stuff, but I so appreciate his love, tenderness and servant's heart during this.
It might not make my breast heal faster, but it sure helps to heal the rest of me. I don't care what anyone says, its always nicer to have someone you love nurse you back to health.
