Today is a Rest and Recuperate Day

I survived my surgery, not as timely as we wanted, but I was out of there by late afternoon. I've got a few pain pills to get me through the next few days, and an appointment next week with the doc to find out how successful we might have been. They did a lumpectomy, and also dug around the lymph nodes in the armpit for a biopsy. It's the armpit that's hurting, the breast seems to be very laid-back about the whole thing. 

It's the digging around in the armpit that's hurting me 
today. The breast is certainly sore, and I'm rather afraid 
to get a good look at it. But the armpit was what 
awakened me at 2:00 am requesting pain meds. 

DH was stressed, of course, and he went to bed really early. I hear him stirring now, but he probably got almost 10 hours of sleep. I'm not planning on being in the shop until Saturday, so Chickie and DH will have to make it without me. Claire (Chickie Mama) was sitting with me until Jim got to the hospital, and then she went to the shop to be with Chickie until Jim could get there (which was late afternoon, so I was REALLY glad she volunteered to help out). I've got some amazing friends! 

Today and tomorrow are "Me Time", as much as DH 
might want me in the shop. Nope ... not going to happen. 
I need this time to rest and heal, so I'm taking it. 

So today is a rest and recuperate day. I'm not even going to take a shower. I'm just going to move between bed and the bathroom and the kitchen. I had an Alkagizer as soon as I got home from the hospital yesterday, and I'll have another one with breakfast and a second later today. I know they'll help me heal faster, and they taste good too which is always helpful - LOL. I'm going to cut this off here, I just wanted to check in with all of you and say "Thank You" for all of the positive thoughts that were heading my way yesterday. I could feel every one of them and they really made a difference. *HUGS* to all of you! Slava Ukraini.
