Nodes news and musical unrest

Another quick update before some much needed rest....overnight was not so restful.  Always the case in a multi-person multi-gender room, but had a musical neighbour (kind of like my piano man) who is very nice but actually sang (literally) in his sleep as well as did some moaning snoring kind of thing to which he was totally oblivious to but even with my hearing aids out I was not ;) In any case, managed to learn how to get up for the washroom through the night (with the assistance from nurse Marie detaching my automated leg socks first) gradually although the pain on each side where the drains are was a bit much with such movement.  Saw Dr. Graham this AM before he left for his clinic at the Foothills and my incisions looked good to him.  Also clarified that he only took the sentinal node as when biopsied it showed no unusual cells (full pathology still to come to confirm of course) which is positive news.  He did think I could use another day in hospital just to give the drains a bit more time and to watch for swelling as well as keep the pain management going, which I am not opposed to at all.  Physio came by to do the briefing on post op homework, and now I'm finally going to try for some more sleep:)  Overall, discomfort and pain aside, I'm doing well and feel some relief mentally knowing everything's out.  Certainly feel the love and energy and prayers from far and wide and am so grateful. Mahalo. Danke. Grazie. Cheers.
