I am in the hospital room feeling pretty good right now. This morphine is amazing! I won't be on long, but wanted to pop in and say hello. Thank you for the prayers. I am doing well.
Dr. Patterson will be releasing me tomorrow (Thursday). I will have pain meds and exercise instructions for my right arm. Since the lymph nodes were removed, I'm at higher risk for developing lymphadema (sp?). So, exercise will be important. Never again can I have blood taken or blood pressure taken on that arm. Hopefully, we'll get the pathology report by Friday. This will be instrumental in my treatment plan. From that report, chemo will be prescribed and possibly radiation too (of the lymph node area). The journey has only begun.
I'm a little groggy, so I'm outta here for now. Hugs!!
