1st Report

I saw my gyno-surgeon on Tuesday because of a small infection in one of my incisions. The doctor said it was superficial and had not gotten deep into the wound so it was ok. He gave me an antibiotic and showed my mom how to pack the wound and wants to see me back in a week. He also gave me the pathology report which said there was no cancer or anything in my ovaries. There was something (a dermoid tumor) which is benign and would may have caused an issue later (much later) but that was all. Good report all in all! He released me to drive again if when I got in the car, I could jerk the wheel hard and slam on the break without it hurting. So, needless to say I'm driving. I'm not taking any narcotic pain meds so it's pretty safe for me to drive. As for work, he wants me to wait, I have to follow-up with him next week so I won't go to work until then. Oh, well! He reminded me that although my incisions were relatively small, I really did have major surgery, so in other words....SIT YO' ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE! He also reminded me that I had 6 weeks off. However, I'm bored at home but the most important issue is that I don't get paid for 6 weeks off this time so I NEED to go back to work. He said since I can sit at my desk or table & I don't do a lot of lifting and such I could go back to work after I see him on Wed. So I look forward to that.

I go to see my breast surgeon today so look for another update later today or tomorrow.

Also if you live in the area, check the news frequently to make sure a woman wasn't found wondering aimlessly through Chino Hills saying, I just need to get away!!!! My mom is still here and my Grandma came in on Tuesday and she has been watching me like a hungry eagle (nope not a hawk) telling me to not lift this, don't do that, if I take a Tylenol she wants to know what hurts! EVERYTHING I JUST HAD SURGERY!!!! But of course I can't say that without a trip to the ER or something so I just don't say anything. And for those of you who read this and will take to her, if you mention it I will deny it and say you must be going nuts!!!!!
Okay that's if for now!

SMOOCHES!!!
