We are winding down most all things considered Breast Cancer related. Friday May 14, 2010. We woke early that morning (4am) so that we could be at the hospital at 5:15am for check in. Terry and Alan made it by before she was wheeled in for her operation, which was started around 8am. The surgery lasted until around 3 or 4pm. Unfortunately the anesthesiologist didn't really listen to us wen we told her that Di gets pretty nauseous when she comes to and that we have found Amend (spelling) seems to be what works for her...She said she doesn't "use" amend and that she will take care of it...not so much. Di spend three hours in the recovery room sleeping off the nausea. By that time of night she was the only person left there. Terry and I were told to go on to the room and wait. So we did..and did some more. Finally the phone rang with a nurse on the other end telling us that Di was still in the recovery Room and may be down there for a while, and that if we wanted to see her we should come on down. Well, I had no proof that she was actually alive so I went down with Terry in tow. She was there...physically. I was satisfied and proceeded to head back to her room. They eventually brought her up. She looked pretty good all things considered.
Night 1 was uneventful. Day 1 post surgery was good until about 2am when Di woke up hysterically crying saying that her head was hurting. That was NO fun. A comedy of Nursing Errors occurred before I finally told them that "something" more had to be done. They came back with some stuff they put in her I.V and in about 20min that took care of her...thank you Lord. It wasn't pretty. After that little episode all else went well. We were able to leave Sunday about noon. She is home know and for the foreseeable future until she gets her drains out (hopefully they will come out next week).
For those that don't know, Di and I have found a "Carrier" to carrier our baby. As soon as next month we will be implanting our fertilized eggs in her "belly" in hopes to start a family.
I don't want to jinks anything else on that front so I'll update more as the process unfolds! Needless to say we are ecstatic about the possibilities and are looking forward to the future.
take care of one another folks.
