Di's hysterectomy surgery was done on December 13. We arrived at 7:20am for a 9am surgery with Dr. Bernstein. Surgery was uneventful. I slept the night at Presby with her. On the morning of the 14, about 11:30 Di was up and walking. Unfortunately she wasn't able to pee...and that isn't good. She was able to pass a nasty blood clot. That isn't good even more. Back to surgery it is. Di was taken back to the surgery room around 3pm. Dr. Bernstein finished up around 4:15. He said he put 3 stitches in where there was a little bleeding. He checked her platelet count and it was really low. He said it was due to her chemo, so he has been in contact with Dr McIntyre about it. He said we should expect a visit from her and she'll discuss what she plans to do about getting her counts up.
I'm in the waiting room...waiting for her to get out of recovery. It looks like I'll be spending a second night at Presby. Di has been OK.. seen her better that's for sure.
Di is always so strong. I rarely see her down. Surgery always makes her really nervous. She seems to get a little emotional right before she is wheeled away for surgery. That's' when sad thoughts creep into my head. I kick them out because I feel I'm a rational man..and because others are usually with me and I need to be strong for them. But it breaks my heart every time...
